How much time is involved with fostering?

It depends on the cat(s)! Some foster cats require care/medication every few hours, but most can be cared for while also balancing a full-time job. You can decide what type of fostering situation works best for your lifestyle. Our Intake Coordinator will work with you to place the most appropriate cat(s) with you.

What are the costs?

Feline Rescue will cover all approved veterinary costs and will provide food, litter, and other supplies as needed.

What are the qualifications and responsibilities of the foster caregiver?

Love of cats! Also:

• Live within a 30-minute drive to our emergency vet partners Southview Animal Hospital and Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (Oakdale).
• Willingness and ability to work with the Foster Coordinator and Adoption Team while caring for the cats/kittens in your home and during the adoption process.
• Time, patience, and desire to interact with cats/kittens on a daily basis.
• Willingness to administer medications as necessary (training provided!).
• A clean and safe living environment (separate from other pets), daily care, and attention.
• Provide food, water, and clean litter on a daily basis (supplies provided!).
• Ability to transport the cats to vet appointments, photography sessions, and adoption visits as needed.
