Foster For Us

Become a Foster Carer

While most of our cats and kittens are cared for at our shelter in Turangi, fostering plays an important role in supporting animals who need extra time, space, or care before adoption.

Foster carers provide a home environment for animals who may not cope well in the shelter, including undersocialised cats, mothers with litters, or kittens needing extra support.

Who Needs Fostering

• Very young kittens not yet ready for adoption
  
  

• Mum cats with litters who need a quiet, secure space
  
  

• Shy or undersocialised cats needing time to adjust
  
  

• Cats recovering from illness, injury, or stress
  
  

What We Provide

• Food, litter, and other basic supplies
  
  

• Access to veterinary care
  
  

• Support and advice from our team
  
  

• Guidance on care, handling, and socialisation
  
  

What We Ask

• A safe, secure indoor space (a spare room is ideal)
  
  

• A calm and patient household
  
  

• Willingness to keep in touch with us about how your foster cat is doing
  
  

• Transport or flexibility to coordinate vet visits if needed
  
  

No previous experience is required — just a willingness to help.
