This is a great idea for those who don’t want the long-term commitment. From the Craigslist ad:
Fosters needed for 8 baby kittens… about 4-6 weeks old. They do not all have to go to the same foster, we could split them into two groups of 4 so they are more manageable.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-rescue, volunteer group helping homeless and abandoned kitties in your community. But to help those kitties, we need foster homes desperately! We get calls everyday, but we don’t have enough foster space for all of them.
What is required of you? Food, water, litter, love, a safe place for them to live, and bringing them to our Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, or Lafayette adoption sites on the weekends when they are old enough (about 8 weeks old).
What do we do to help? I would be your main contact and would answer any questions you have and I will work to find them good, safe, and loving homes. Our rescue group will take care of the vaccinations, testing, spay/neuter and othe misc. medical.
Want to help but can’t foster? We always welcome donations– financial to help cover medical costs, food, litter, bedding, toys, carriers, litter boxes, and other supplies. We also have a Thrift Shop, called Rescued Treasures near DVC where you can donate gently used items, shop, or volunteer your time.
Please e-mail me if you can help. Highschool students can receive commnity service hours for fostering!!! This is a nice way to have the joy of kittens without the 20-year commitment.
