    Description

    Save kittens! Orphaned kittens need you! Become a foster parent!

    Discover the magic of welcoming orphaned kittens into your home to help find a permanent loving home for each.

    WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO BE A FOSTER PARENT?

    A flexible schedule is key! That’s because you’ll be:

    • Taking care of your foster animal until he or she is adopted, or when adoption space becomes available - we can’t always predict how long it will take (several days or weeks for kittens).
    • Transporting your foster animal to veterinary care and vaccination or spay/neuter appointments.
    • Picking up supplies and meeting with potential adult adopters.

    WHY DO THESE KITTENS NEED FOSTER CARE?

    • Some kittens are too young and/or underweight to be placed up for adoption.
    • Kittens need a home environment where they can feel safe and receive proper socialization.

    If you foster kittens, you’ll need an area where you can keep them isolated from your own companion animals for a 2-week period minimum.

    Apply to be an OHS foster family on our webpage: https://ohlonehumanesociety.org/fostering-and-adoption/

    If you are seriously applying, please submit our volunteer form at https://forms.gle/qe11rFiEQ6uyrKEi6 to have your application forwarded to our program manager.
