Let’s first first clarify what we consider a long-term foster cat. A long term foster cat is one we have taken in as a surrender or rescued during a trap-neuter-return situation. A long term foster could be a compromised cat taken from a local kill shelter that was not willing to spend their funds or their time on an “unadoptable, imperfect” cat, and in our professional opinion is worth saving and loving in the manner they deserve.

We too have determined these creatures to be atypical and adoption is not a great option but long term fostering fits their needs.

What makes a cat a long term foster cat in our opinion, depends on many factors. In some cases, the cats can be aggressive towards humans, but love fellow kitties. In some cases, the cat is rescued with one or more diseases, injuries, or ailments that most adoptive parents are not looking for. In some cases, the kitties were rescued or surrendered for all the right reasons, but in the end, were determined to be creatures who would not do well in the general human population.

Like all things, the ability to sustain a long term foster cat’s existence, depends upon resources, and many many sacrifices. Sacrifices and resources shared by the long-term foster caretakers and our organization.

We need sponsors to help us help them for the entirety of their lives.

Help us to continue the care for our long-term fosters.
