Foster Cats ( Short Term | Long Term )

We need volunteers who are able to take FCRT cats into their homes.

Foster homes are needed for cats residing at one of Fancy Cats PetSmart locations- this gives the cats a break from their time in a cage! Fosters are also needed for new intakes, male and female, young and old, sick and healthy. During kitten season (March through October), our need for foster homes skyrockets.

The cats in foster homes benefit from the socialization they receive by interacting with their foster families.

The foster program helps FCRT learn more about an individual cat's habits and personality to better match each cat with that perfect forever home!

Fancy Cats Rescue Team Provides FCRT assumes costs of vet visits and treatment. New foster homes will be given training on an Introduction to Fostering. A full bodied support team for answering questions and resolving any issues that may arise. Foster Home Provides Foster homes provide love, food, and litter. Foster homes communicate with other volunteers to post online bios and photos of cats in their care. Foster homes transport their foster cats to and from adoption fairs (with a few exceptions).* Foster homes also transport their cats to the vet, as needed.* *Please note that Foster homes are encouraged to take advantage of Cat/Kitten Taxi (when available) for transport needs. -- Costs associated with transportation, food, and litter are tax deductible. --

GETTING STARTED:
Please complete the Foster Home Application [DOC] [PDF] and submit it to us by email, fax, mail, or even, in person at an Adoption Fair.

Once your application has been reviewed, you will be contacted by the Foster Home Coordinator and scheduled for a Foster Home Training Session and a Home Visit for certification as required by State Law.

Let us know any preferences on cats you'd like to foster and join a great team with lots of resources to help you take care of well deserving kitties in your home!
