Are you a committed cat-lover? Would you love an opportunity to provide love and care to cats and kittens as they await their forever homes? If this sounds like you, and if you have some extra space in your heart and in your home, we have just the role for you!

Responsibilities:

• Provide foster care for cats and/or kittens

Reports to: HEA Foster Team

Commitment: Fosters are a vital piece of the animal welfare equation. We are looking for volunteers who are committed to fostering on an ongoing basis (with the opportunity to take "foster breaks" as needed). Some foster cats will move in and out of HEA’s care relatively quickly, and others may need a little more time. The exact time commitment will vary from animal to animal.

If you are interested in filling this role, or if you have additional questions, please email our Foster Coordination Team at foster@heanokill.org .
