Volunteer Foster Home Member
If you enjoy the accomplishment and love from saving cats & kittens we strongly urge you to sign up as Foster Home Member. Foster homes provide temporary sanctuary for our rescued animals; we can only save as many lives as we have foster homes. Each animal is vet checked (shots, groomed, spay/neutered). We provide all basic supplies and vet costs. The animal then relaxes at your home until they are adopted via our web site or adoption fairs. Back up "pet-sitting" for the foster animal is also provided. Transportation to and from our adoption fairs is helpful. Open your heart and home to a rescued cat and know that you are his/her Guardian Angel.
