Open Your Heart and Home to a Cat in Need
Fostering is a vital part of our mission to help adoptable cats find loving homes. By providing a temporary, safe space, you’re giving a cat the chance to thrive while they wait for their forever family.
What is Fostering?
Fostering means welcoming an adoptable cat into your home and caring for them until they are adopted. It’s a rewarding experience that helps us save more cats and ensures they receive the love and attention they deserve while waiting for their new family.
As a foster parent, you’ll:
Provide a safe, loving environment for the cat.
Help socialize the cat to prepare them for adoption.
Communicate regularly with SCCO about the cat’s behavior and needs.
By fostering, you’re directly contributing to our mission of helping cats in need.
