Our organization is always in the need of foster homes. Foster homes provide a refuge to many of the cats left on our door step and newborns abandoned by their mother or rescued from the roadside by a passerby. During kitten season, which starts in early spring and runs through late fall, we receive more kittens that we can possibly care for, especially if they are baby bottle kittens. Baby bottle kittens require frequent feeding and more care than can be given in the shelter. By placing these kittens in a private home, the kittens tend to receive the more attentive care that they require. From time to time, an older cat will be placed in a foster home if they require frequent medication or they are having trouble recovering from an illness. If you’re interested in housing a cat or kitten on a temporary basis, as a foster home, please contact the shelter at 501-623-3484. Please leave your name and number along with a brief message, and someone from the shelter will return your call.
