Foster
Provide a home for cats in need
Every cat has different needs. That’s why we require the help of our foster families to provide temporary care for cats in need. Foster homes provide a safe environment to help cats and kittens with socialization, medical needs, pregnant cats, litters of kittens or simply supporting those who aren’t thriving at MEOW Foundation Adoption Centre and could benefit from being in a home environment. Our foster homes also allow us to expand our capacity to help even more stray and abandoned cats and kittens.
How It Works
MEOW Foundation provides all the necessary support and supplies such as food, litter and toys and covers all veterinary expenses. In return, you commit to provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment in your home for rescued cats and kittens for a minimum of 10 weeks or until they are adopted. MEOW Foundation provides training to new foster homes via a virtual orientation session and our foster home policies and procedures manual.
In order to be considered as a foster home, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have a spare room with secure doors, windows and screens, finished walls and ceilings with natural light. An empty bedroom or den is ideal
- Have access to a vehicle
- Flexible to allow for vaccine/spay/neuter appointments and host approved adopters
- Any resident animals within the foster home will be vetted and must be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and kept indoors or supervised outdoors with a harness or catio. This is to protect the health of both your foster cats and pets.
