Interested in becoming a foster parent for underage kittens? 
 

The purpose of being a foster parent is to provide a temporary home for kittens that are not old enough for adoption. Some kittens require special needs such as bottle feeding, socializing, or medical attention. We will make sure to match the right kitten or kittens to fit your home.

For more information please direct your questions to the front desk of the shelter, you can also email questions to
