Foster
Join our A Team of foster carers!
Ten Lives‘ foster care program is an essential part of our work looking after our kitties.
- You don’t have to foster all the time, you let us know what suits you. Fostering even for a short time helps with our vital work of caring for our kitties.
- Foster carers volunteer to care for kitties in their own home until they are ready for adoption, at which point they are returned to the Ten Lives Cat Centre.
- Foster carers do an incredible job helping our kitties become confident and playful, or in some cases providing the love and care they need to get back to health.
- You are never alone as we provide complete support and information. We also provide all veterinarian services.
- It is a great way to spend time with cats for people who aren’t able to make the long term commitment that adoption requires.
- Our foster carers talk of the joy and reward they find in caring for a cat and seeing them find their own forever home.
How you can help
- Fostering is a truly wonderful experience which is extremely rewarding for you and lifesaving for the cats or kittens you care for.
- Fostering allows you to experience a huge range of emotions and have a lot of fun, whilst offering a nurturing environment for our cats or kittens.
Some of the reasons our kitties need foster care before they can be adopted are:
- Shy or timid
- Recovering from surgery
- Too young
- Illness
