Are you considering fostering a cat and making a difference in their life? We welcome you to join our fostering program, where you can provide temporary care and love to cats in need. Whether you're an experienced pet lover or new to fostering, our step-by-step guide will help you navigate the process and ensure a successful experience for both you and your furry friend.

Step 1: Connect with Pawesome Shelter

Start by reaching out to us inquire about our fostering program and learn more about our mission and values. We're always looking for compassionate individuals willing to open their hearts and homes to cats in need.

Step 2: Understand the Commitment

Before committing to fostering, take time to understand the commitment involved. Fostering a cat requires providing basic care, including feeding, grooming, socialization, and veterinary care. Consider your schedule and lifestyle to ensure you can meet the needs of a foster cat during their stay with you.

Step 3: Complete the Application Process

Once you're ready to become a foster parent, complete our simple application process. Fill out an application form, undergo a home inspection, and provide references. We'll work with you to ensure that fostering is the right fit for you and that you meet our requirements.

Step 4: Attend Pawesome Orientation and Training

As a new foster parent with Pawesome, you'll attend our orientation and training sessions. These sessions provide valuable information on our policies, procedures, and expectations. You'll learn about cat care, behavior, handling, and emergency procedures, setting you up for a successful fostering experience.

Step 5: Prepare Your Home

Before welcoming your foster cat, prepare your home to ensure it's safe and comfortable. Set up a designated area with food and water bowls, a litter box, bedding, scratching posts, and toys. Remove any potential hazards or toxic substances to create a welcoming environment for your new feline friend.

Step 6: Welcome Your Foster Cat with Open Arms

When you bring your foster cat home, give them time to adjust to their new environment. Allow them to explore at their own pace and provide plenty of love, patience, and reassurance. Establish a routine for feeding, playtime, grooming, and socialization to help your foster cat feel secure and settled.

Step 7: Provide Care and Support with Us
