CAT FOSTER APPLICATION

Please note: We cannot accept fosters outside of RI

We’re so excited that you’re interested in fostering with us! To keep both your pets and our rescues safe, foster animals need to be housed separately from your own pets until medically cleared by the Scruffy Paws veterinarian. Many of the cats we take in come directly from the streets and may be carrying illnesses that could put other animals at risk.

Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue will provide food, litter, and all the basic supplies your foster cats need. If you’d like to contribute your own supplies, your generosity is always welcome and very much appreciated!
