Each year, hundreds of kittens from our area are found stray, abandoned or homeless. Just like the puppies, the shelter is a hard environment for these animals and a foster home is the ideal environment for these animals to gain weight so they become healthy enough for spay/neuter and adoption. Each year, our team of foster families care for hundreds of adorable kittens and help get them ready to find a forever home. Fostering is a great solution for students or families who are not ready to commit to a full time pet but still have lots of love to offer!
Becoming a foster parent is a great way to save lives and support TAILS. We provide all the food, supplies and veterinary care and your provide the love and care. You’ll help these cuties grow in to happy, healthy pets ready to find their forever home!
