Offering cats a foster home

The shelter is no place for very young kittens who need regular feeding throughout the day and night and continual monitoring to ensure their health and development and ensure their socialisation.

Offering a foster home to a small kitten may sound like a fun thing to do, but the sad reality is that many kittens are abandoned and found in terrible condition. It is often a question of life or death, and the specialist knowledge and dedication that some of our carers have in dealing with very young and delicate babies is amazing.

For adult cats who need some extra care and attention due to ill health, lack of confidence or which maybe just can’t cope in the shelter environment and need more individual care than the shelter can provide, going to a foster home is the best solution..

That is why volunteers who offer foster homes are so important to us.  We are very reliant on these heroes who often also work with us to find permanent homes for their charges so that they do not have to come back to the APROP shelter at all.

When you foster for APROP we will provide everything that you need and a team will support you and provide whatever advice and help you may need.

Offering a foster home can be hard work and challenging but it can also be fun and very rewarding.  See the thoughts of some of our volunteers below.

If you think that you have what it takes to offer a foster home, we would love to hear from you.

Companion cats to foster

Cats who are older, have some form of disability or need special care sometimes find it more difficult to be adopted.  They are just as deserving and can give just as much love and affection as any other cat, but it needs a special sort of person to decide to give them a home.

We are looking for long term foster homes for several cats like this, rather than adoption.  This means that the cats remain in the ownership of APROP, who are responsible for their veterinary care and expenses, but otherwise the cats will live in your home and be a permanent member of your family. This means that you can give a home to a cat in need without having to worry about the financial implications of their health. Additionally, our team are always available to help with any queries or concerns that you may have about your foster cat.

If you would like more information about any of the cats, or if you would like more general advice about fostering a cat, please contact us via email at apropcats@gmail.com or Whatsapp 611 08 50 24.
