    Description

    We are in need of foster homes for all types of situations:

    • Young kittens who are weaned from their mothers, but not yet old enough for adoption
    • Pregnant/nursing moms with their babies
    • Bottle babies
    • Adult cats who are in need of quarantine
    • Adult cats who need assessment/socialization

    What you would need:

    • An area of your home where the fosters can be kept separate (a guest room, study, or bathroom works great)
    • Some time every day to devote to the fosters (amount depends on age of the fosters)
    • Typically, the foster homes provide the food and litter. Protectors of Animals provides for the rest, including all medical care
    • No experience with fostering is necessary. Protectors of Animals has an excellent support network of foster homes and our medical team. Training is provided.

    If kittens are not your calling we have many adult cats we would like to get into a safe environment until a space opens up at the Cat Adoption Center.

    Please complete an application at www.poainc.org.
