Open your home, change a life

Fostering is one of the most impactful things you can do. By providing temporary home care, you give young or friendly animals the socialization they need to thrive. It's a crucial step toward adoption.

We work with you on timing, type, and number of animals that fit your abilities. We provide all medical care, and food and litter as needed. You provide the love and a safe space.

Barn Cat Program

Have a barn, stable, shed, or garage? Our barn cat program places healthy outdoor cats who need a safe space. They provide rodent control, and you give a cat a warm home. Many of these cats are friendly but not suited to indoor life with full-time human contact. We'll work with you on the right number and temperament, and help acclimate them safely.

How Fostering Works

1. Apply: Fill out a short foster application so we can understand your home and schedule.

2. Match: We'll match you with an animal that fits your living situation and experience.

3. Welcome: Take your foster animal home. We provide supplies and medical care.

4. Support: We're always a phone call away. When the animal is ready, we'll find them a forever home.

Send supplies directly to the shelter

Our animals go through a lot of food, litter, toys, and supplies. You can send items directly through any of these retailers.
