Fostering

Fostering is temporary provision of care in your own home for dogs, cats and kittens until a new home is found.  This helps the animal adjust to home life away from the cattery or kennels and also frees up accomodation for other urgent cases.

The animals which benefit most from fostering are often the most troubled so experience, time and patience are neccessary.  Whilst it can be hard to say goodbye to the animal when they move on to their forever home it is rewarding to see them progress to the point that they are ready to be rehomed.

Insurance cover is provided for fosterers and we will need to 'approve you'.

Please contact us if you would be interested in fostering dogs or cats.

Can you spare some time to look after Cats & Kittens in need of a temporary home?

The branch have little space in the cattery and its difficult finding temporary homes for our cats until a permancent home can be found. It wont cost you a penny.

What is the role of a fosterer?

The branch do not always have a shelter, or the room to take on as many cats and kittens as they rescue. This is where fosterers are important, as their role is caring for rescue cats whilst they are 'between homes'.

Fosterers are people who work voluntarily and look after the cat at their home, until a suitable permanent home can be found. If you have a spare room, space or out house then please contact us.

Fostering involves taking the cat into your home temporarily and providing all the necessities to ensure the cat is healthy and happy. If you go out to work, or have other pets, you can still become a fosterers.
