Fur Kids Fosters

Kitten/Cat short-and long-term foster parent
Function: These volunteers provide proper care for kittens/cats and/or adult community cats until positive outcomes can be arranged.

Core responsibilities: Very young kittens need intensive basic care — bottle-feeding every few hours along with frequent socialization sessions. Once the kittens are independent, the foster parent generally houses and cares for them, and provide care after they have been spayed or neutered. Adult cats will typically require medical care initially, such as administering prescribed medications, cleaning of wounds etc. Adult cats will also require frequent socialization. Both kittens and cats may require long-term fostering until adoption is completed. Basic needs such as food, water, clean litter and safe and loving environment in which to thrive.

For adult community cats requiring short-term foster care before being returned to their trapping location (e.g., while an injury heals), the care generally involves basic feeding, cleaning and administering any prescribed medicines.

In addition, several “behind the scenes” jobs are generally done by volunteers, including:

Completing bio’s for the animals and submitting frequent photo updates
Attending adoption events, or providing transportation to/from events
Cleaning traps and transporting animals to/from colony
Transporting animals to/from vet or clinic appointments
Participation in fundraising opportunities for Street Paws is optional, but encouraged
