Title: cat fostering
Post by: bramble on August 31, 2009, 19:40:57 PM
hi all. ibeen thinking for a long time about fostering for a rescue. i am wondering what is involved and what sort of people rescues look for. we have 3 rescue cats of our own and 4 rescue dogs. dont know if this would go against us! we have a spare bedroom, a garage extension and a summerhouse we could use to keep them isolated. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks. dawn

What is involved:
Alot of poo, some heartbreak, tears and a wonderful feeling of happiness when your charges leave for a new home.
Isolating is important so its good you have provisions for that  ;D

Good on you for considering fostering, good fosterers are always needed. You need to have space to isolate, which you have, and time to spend with them while they are in isolation, and time to keep up with the extra cleaning it creates. You also need to be able to be strong enough to give them the love and care they deserve and be able to let them go to their new homes at the end of it. If you feel you can do this, contact your local rescue
