Then why not become a foster parent
Love cats and kittens but not ready for your own? Maybe your lifestyle doesn’t allow time for you to adopt, then fostering may be a great alternative. Fostering is a great way to help our kittens on your own time, in the comfort of your own home for a few weeks or months.
Kitten Season is here. That is the period of time between roughly, March through November each year when all the unspayed female cats start having their kittens. A female cat will usually have 4-6 kittens in a litter and can have up to three litters during the season. A female can become pregnant as early as 5 months old.
Furry Friends tries to take in as many mom cats with babies as they can. But these nursing females with their litters need to be raised in a home, not in a shelter. A cat’s personality is largely formulated in the first eight weeks of life. They need to be gently handled as soon as possible. Early human handling results in a well socialized cat.
The more foster parents, the more lives of kittens can be saved. The experience of fostering can be one of the most uniquely satisfying and fulfilling experiences of your own unique life.
To become a foster home for Furry Friends a Foster Application must be completed, references checked and the home inspected. Foster parents are to maintain the health and well-being of each cat in their care; with cats remaining indoors at all times. All food, litter and medical will be supplied. You can help make a life-saving difference by becoming a volunteer foster parent today
