Operation Paws for Homes is a nonprofit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of dogs and cats who have overcome great odds and deserve wonderful, caring forever homes. Fostering abandoned and rescued cats and kittes is a wonderful and fulfilling experience! When one cat is fostered, two cats are rescued, as fostering outside of a shelter provides a space inside. The time commitment varies from an overnight or weekend "pupover" to months for harder to place pets. The average foster stay is just two weeks. As a foster, you will be giving a second chance to a cat who has no one to advocate for them except kind hearted people like you! These cats are saved from high kill shelters with limited resources who are unable to care for the number of animals that are abandoned at their doors. There is great satisfaction in knowing that you are saving a life! If you have ever wanted to save lives by becoming a foster "pawent," the time is now!! You don't have to be rich or have tons of free time, you just have to be a good person who can offer a safe and loving home to a dog or cat who may otherwise face euthanasia. We will work with you to find the right foster pet, offer medical/training/transportation support, and we are available to answer any questions. OPH covers all veterinary expenses, preventative, collar, leash, and crates or pens as needed. Fostering is also a great way to help and to learn more about different types of dogs and possibly find a forever dog for your family! If you are a bit nervous about owning a cat or a kitten, fostering gives you the opportunity to see what dog ownership entails. It is a great way to teach a family what to expect from cat ownership without jumping into something you might not be able to handle.
