Happy tuxedo cat, Pedro, chillin' in his foster home before going to his forever home!
We rely on volunteer foster families to help us rescue over 100 cats a year and adopt them into loving forever homes. Fosters play a critical part in our rescue - providing a safe and loving space to:
Help socialize kittens and cats to humans and get them ready to become wonderful pets
Have a safe and quiet home to recover after spay/neuter surgery before they become adoptable
Serve as a comfortable transition space for cats that may not be able to adapt to the bustling cat room at Alley Cat Cafe
When you apply to foster with us, we review your application and get in touch to learn more about your ambitions and the type of cat you are interested in caring for. This could be as simple as friendly adult cats, or if you're up for the challenge, caring for neonatal kittens or undersocialized cats. Either way - BCR will be here for you at every step of the fostering process.
BCR provides:
An initial vet exam to test for FIV, treat parasites, and give required vaccines
Food
Litter
Something to scratch on
We will cover all confirmed (meaning you have run the vet care past us) and ongoing veterinary care during the foster period
Ongoing advice and support!
