Fostering Saves Cats' Lives

Opening your home to a foster cat helps us save another kitty from the street or off death row in a pound. Thank you for helping us to help them.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive a checklist and T&Cs to give you an idea of how the process works. Key points to note are:
- We can only provide supplies (beyond initial supplies) if you are able to collect them from us in Essendon/Moonee Ponds, and depending on what has been donated to us
- All expenses for your foster/s over $2 are tax deductible
- We will pay any veterinary costs but vet visits must be approved by us prior
- You have first right of refusal should you wish to adopt your foster/s
