Fostering

Foster Carers are an essential part of a Rescue

What is involved in becoming a foster carer

Do you:

have space to isolate a cat/ kittens away from other pets for a minimum of 10 days (bathroom, laundry, spare room, study, etc)?
have your own transport to pick up / take cats to any necessary vet appointments at our partner vets in Hallam, Officer, Pakenham and surrounds?
have the time to socialise your fosters for at least an hour a day?
have the patience to show a scaredy cat that not all humans are bad?
love cats and have love to give?
want to make a difference?

We are looking for foster carers to help us foster for adult cats and kittens. All vet costs will be covered by us and we’ll help where we can with food and litter. You just need to provide a safe space for them to land and be loved until adopted.

We work with you to find the appropriate foster cat for your home and provide a foster carers group for support.

Female - 2 Years Old

Eclair

Eclair is a sweet, gentle and shy young cat. She has had an unfair start to life spending her kittenhood on the streets. She came into care a very young mum and looked after her sick babies while being sick and very scared herself. Humans had let her down in every way and the transition into being looked after by them was terrifying for her. She is now making great progress in foster care, getting settled into the indoor cat lifestyle. She is learning how nice it is to be loved and cared for by humans- she likes the soft beds and cat toys. Eclair will need a very special and patient person who is willing to continue to teach her that people are safe and trustworthy. She is comfortable with her foster carers company but is still quite jumpy with being touched. She now accepts gentle pats and chin scratches since starting medication to help her anxiety. A gentle, adult-only (or with older children) home would suit her best. She is ready for a lifetime of love with someone willing to take a chance on her and restore her faith in people. She is vet checked, vaccinated, flea and worm treated, microchipped and desexed. Indoor homes only. Eclair is FIV+. She can still live a long and healthy life as an indoor cat and shouldn't be overlooked because of this!

Female 3.5 years old

Alina

Alina was found on the streets with her x4 2week old kittens. She was so small & bony, as feeding her kittens was her number one priority. At first Alina was frightened by human contact, but she always allowed her kittens to be picked up. Over time, Alina has found that the human touch is quite lovely. Shy at first, she’ll come around quickly to strangers. She’ll need an understanding home, that will give her time & patience to come out of her shell. Alina is not fond of my dog but is curious of the resident cats.
