Foster a cat

What is fostering?

Fostering involves providing temporary care and shelter for a cat until they find their forever home. As a foster parent, you play a crucial role in helping a cat transition from shelter life to a loving home environment.

Benefits of Fostering

Save Lives: Fostering opens up space in the shelter, allowing us to rescue more cats in need. By fostering, you directly contribute to saving lives and giving cats a second chance at happiness.

Test the Waters: Fostering is an excellent way to test the waters if you're unsure about long-term pet ownership. It allows you to experience what it's like to care for a cat without the lifelong commitment.

Make a Difference: Fostering is incredibly rewarding. You have the opportunity to make a profound impact on a cat's life by providing love, care, and stability during their time in foster care.

Key Differences Between Fostering and Adoption

Duration: While adoption is a permanent commitment, fostering is temporary. Fosters typically care for a cat until they are adopted, which could range from a few weeks to several months.

Responsibility: Fostering allows you to experience the joys of pet ownership without the long-term responsibility. As a foster parent, you provide love, care, and support to the cat, but the shelter remains responsible for their medical expenses and finding a permanent home.

Support: When you foster with Pawesome, you're not alone. Our team provides guidance, resources, and support every step of the way. From assistance with behavioral issues to medical care, we're here to ensure a successful fostering experience.
