Cat and Kitten Foster Parents Needed

Save to Favorites

Foster parents allow North Beach PAWS to care for animals we may not be able to care for in the shelter, and allow us to care for more animals overall.

Foster homes offer a low-stress environment for the animal that can improve medical recovery and allows anxious pets to relax. All supplies, food, litter and medications will be provided through the shelter.

Position Goals:
* Provide a safe and nurturing environment for foster pets until they are able to be adopted.
* Be the animal’s advocate by sharing concerns and observations about the pet, and providing content to help the pet get adopted when ready.

Volunteer Qualifications:
This position may be perfect for you if you . . .
* Are comfortable caring for animals in your home.
* Are willing to make trips to the shelter to pick up foster pets, supplies, etc. and bringing pets to
appointments.
* Work well without direct supervision, but are good at following instructions.
* Have an irregular schedule, but can commit to caring for an animal for a set period of time.

Prior experience:
* Any prior experience caring for animals is beneficial to this work. Foster parents will be set up with only animals they feel prepared to care for.
* Foster providers should have basic reading and writing skills, since important information on animal health and behavior may be communicated in writing.
* Basic computer skills. Email is the primary means of communication between foster providers and the foster team, for scheduling, updates and other activities related to fostering.
