Not for fostering as such, but cat ownership in general... lint rollers  :naughty:

Frontline flea spray and rubber gloves for the application of

Some sort of recovery type foods we use RC and Hills for the ones who need slowly building up

Lots of toys that are washable so they can be used fro several cats

Cardboard boxes which can be used as hidey holes or beds with a blanket in them

Worming tablets such as Millibex for small cats and Drontal for the larger ones

A good brush and comb for grooming

Our first aid kit contains things like a pill popper, Small tub of Sudo cream so useful for a number of things, latex gloves, baby wipes non perfumed for wiping of appendages
