Cat Fostering

19 June 2008, by Angel Annie

I’ve signed up with the Southampton branch of the Cats Protection League (CPL) today as a cat fosterer. They don’t keep cats in a cattery when they’re waiting to be homed, but with a network of fosterers who look after them either in a kennel outside, in a single room in the house or in the whole house as if the cat were their own. In my case I’ll be doing whole house fostering, and it gives me a great chance to have a cat around while helping the charity at the same time. The charity provides all the equipment and supplies needed to care for their cats and pays for any vet treatment too. All I have to do is care for the cat(s) and, obviously, give them up once they’re adopted. I’m looking forward to getting my first care once I’m back from holiday.
