    Description

    Got love to share? Foster a cat/ kitten. Or a dog. Or a rabbit!

    Got love to share? Consider becoming a foster volunteer!

    As a foster volunteer, you would make a short-term commitment to care for one or more animals from the shelter in your home on a temporary basis.

    Some cats need a break from living in a condo. Providing time in your home helps them get ready for adoption. Many cats need a quiet patch of sunlight to recover.

    Newborn kittens are so small, they need foster care until they're big enough to receive spay/neuter surgery.

    Bunnies need your love too.

    RASKC has dogs available to foster... and occasionally puppies.

    Among the animals that are eligible to be fostered, you choose which animal that will go home with you.

    Would you like to help?

    Foster volunteers are given online training, great support, and everything necessary-- e.g., free pet food, free medical care for the animal, free litter, free litter box...

    You can decide when the time is right for you to foster.

    When your foster pet is ready to be adopted, you may choose to: a) Select who the animal will be adopted to, or b) Bring the animal back to the shelter, or c) Adopt the animal yourself.

    If you'd like to move forward, here are the next steps:

    1. One adult in your household completes an initial online application

    1. The adult who completes and submits the online application also completes the liability-release form at https://tinyurl.com/DocuSign4RASKC

    Share your love and have fun as a foster parent to a furry sweetie that needs your kind care.

    Thanks for considering this possibility. We look forward to hearing from you...
