Kitten season is upon us, and we need your help!
Foster homes provide temporary housing for our animals, and are vital when it comes to the care of kittens, keeping them safe and warm until they are big enough for adoption.
Kitten season runs from spring to late fall, and during this time animal shelters and rescues are full with litters of homeless kittens in need of a foster home.
Fostering kittens is a rewarding, and exciting experience, however it is also a big commitment. Very young kittens need to be bottle fed around the clock, every 2 - 3 hours, day and night, for approximately 3 - 4 weeks depending on how old they are.
Fostering can last from several weeks to several months, and all kittens need to be fostered until they are old enough for adoption.
Morris Animal Refuge will provide all food and equipment, we just ask you to provide them with the love, care and attention they need.
If you are interested, please contact Morris Animal Refuge to join our team!
Applicants must live in the Phialdelphia area, and be over 18 years of age.

Mission Statement
The Morris Animal Refuge is an open-admission shelter serving the abandoned, abused, and neglected animals of the greater Philadelphia area. Since 1874, we have remained at the forefront of animal welfare through our adoption and fostering programs, veterinary and behavioral rehabilitation efforts, humane education, and community outreach, with the expressed goal of never turning away an animal in need.
Description
The Morris Animal Refuge offers innovative and high quality care for cats, dogs and other small animals. The Refuge provides a full range of preventive, protective and adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned animals.
The Morris Animal Refuge adoption services cover the Greater Philadelphia Pennsylvania Region only; consisting of an area in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. In more than 135 years, no animal has ever been turned away from our door. The Refuge, the first in the United States to care for cats, was founded by Elizabeth Morris, one of our nation's pioneers in animal welfare, in 1874. The Refuge continues to operate today in Center City Philadelphia at its home at 1242 Lombard Street. The Refuge is run by a small and dedicated staff whose primary responsibilities include animal care, adoptions and humane education. Our volunteers provide many hours of additional support with all phases of animal care and fund raising.
