Foster parents provide temporary care for kittens, puppies, cats and dogs in their homes. Some animals only need a home for two weeks, others may need three months. By offering your time, energy, and home to an animal in need, you prepare the animal for adoption into a permanent, loving home.
WCFA needs foster homes. The more foster parents we have, the more lives we will be able to save.
Some of the reasons for animals to be selected for foster care are:
- Kittens and puppies too young to be spayed/neutered.
- Cats or dogs who are nursing their litter of kittens or puppies and need to raise them in a home environment where they can all receive proper socialization.
- Cats and the occasional dog who are being treated for an illness such as upper respiratory infection or kennel cough and require daily medications and TLC.
- Animals recovering from specialized surgical procedures needing rehabilitation.
- An animal who needs a caring foster environment while waiting for a permanent home.
