Cat Fostering
I got an email from Mrs. Sheridan (Founder & President of Soi Dog Rescue). I don’t have time to help SDR yet so here I hope you guys please help me spreading this news.
Foster parents provide temporary homes for cats prior to adoption and for cats needing time to recover from an illness or injury. It’s a wonderful and rewarding way to contribute to saving homeless pets, and a fun and flexible way to volunteer some of your free time. Best of all, it’s a great way to enjoy a pet if you are unable right now to make a lifetime commitment to adopting one.
Skills needed…
It’s good to have knowledge about companion animal behavior and health, but at SCAD we provide basic cat-care training. Most cats adjust quickly and just need some TLC and time in a home environment to learn to trust.
What else is required…
A spare bedroom or bathroom – or for anyone wishing to help longer term, a garden or balcony closed-in area. Cat fostering is suitable for apartment or house dwellers, but to better facilitate easy viewing for potential adopters, a central Bangkok location is preferred. Foster parents have to be prepared to visit the vet for vaccinations and other health issues, and be willing to set aside time for play and interaction, and regular updates to SCAD.
Taking a cat into your home, loving it, and then letting it go requires a spacial kind of person. A cat foster parent role is to prepare the kitty for a adoption into a loving home.
