Imagine it.
- You’re new to the world but your eyes can’t open.
- You can’t keep yourself warm.
- You can’t find your own food.
- You are totally helpless and can’t survive without help.
Now imagine…
- Peace and quiet
- Warm bottle of kitten milk
- Swaddled in a soft blanket
- Soothing voice and gentle touch
We have more kittens than we have foster homes and help is needed urgently.

Why I Foster:
Hear from some of our foster moms and families about why they foster kittens:
- “I love watching the animals blossom into the amazing pets that they are! Now my 7-year-old son is lending his little hand and is the biggest help. He’s so calm and gentle with the kittens.”

-Cassie R. - “Loving and caring for cats at the beginning or end of their lives — I live for their sweet purrs and kisses.”
-Kristy W. - “Some of my favorite memories are of the entire family sitting on the bathroom floor with kittens climbing over and around us. We are all in various stages of feeding, cleaning, burping and having fun…those are precious moments.”
