    Description

    Cat & Kitten Fostering

    Volunteering is a wonderful and rewarding way to help Feral Fixers fulfill its mission of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for feral cats and to assist in finding homes for the adoptable cats and kittens we come across during our trapping efforts. We are an all-volunteer organization and depend on our Volunteers to perform all the tasks necessary to fulfill our goals.

    Fosters Needed Now!

    Can you open your home and heart to foster some kittens?

    Loving foster homes are an essential part of animal rescue. Without foster homes, we cannot rescue.

    Kitten season begins in April but is heaviest from June to September, we need many, many foster homes to care for our high volume of young kittens.

    We will provide the supplies and guidance. You provide the home, love, and TLC to help these kittens thrive and prepare them for adoption. Side benefit - lots of laughs, love, and fun from adorable kittens without a long term commitment!

    Requirements:

    • Have a safe room with a secure door that can be used as a foster room
    • Understand & accept kittens who might be fearful & shy and may hiss initially - we will provide lots of guidance on how to turn them into confident, social kittens

    We need your help with young kittens all the way up to adult age cats. If you would like to help or learn more, please fill out an application!
