Mr & Mrs Kitty Kat

The single most useful thing you can do

Adopting saves one cat. Fostering makes room for the next one, and the one after that — which is why we ask about it before we ask for money.

Right now every cat we have lives in a single house, and the room in it is the hard ceiling on how many we can help. Each foster home lifts it.

“But I'll get attached”

You will. Everyone does. That is not a reason not to do it — that is the job working correctly. Some fosters adopt the first cat they take and never foster again, and that is a good outcome too. Most find that watching a cat they nursed back to health leave for a good home is worth the ache.

About you
What you can take on

Be honest here rather than generous. A foster who takes one cat for a year helps more than one who takes four and burns out in a month.

Do you have a room you could close off?New cats need a few days somewhere quiet before meeting the rest of the house. A bathroom counts.
Could you give medication or do syringe feeding?Only if you are comfortable — plenty of fosters can't, and that's fine.
Would you take kittens?Kittens are more work and more mess, but they move fast.
