Consider Fostering

Thank You for Considering the Lifesaving Act of Becoming a Foster

Spay and Stay is not a rescue.

We foster and adopt out cats/kittens that are trapped during the TNR process and who need socialization. Our volunteers work out of their homes, and we do not have the capacity to take in every cat for which we receive "help requests". When our fosters are full, we refer these requests to no-kill options in the surrounding area. A list of these resources can be found on our website.

To be considered as a Spay and Stay foster, complete the foster application today!

Why Foster?

Are you looking for an opportunity to give back to your community?

Fostering with Spay and Stay can be a rewarding experience. It is one of the many ways you can help support our mission for TNR.

How Long Can I Expect to Foster a Pet?

The duration of each foster cat varies depending on the age and condition in which they are taken in. These factors are also dependent on finding a suitable adopter. For kittens, they will get fully vetted when the reach 3 lbs (usually around 3 mos). After they are vetted, they become available for adoption.

What are the Responsibilities of a Foster Family?

Provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for the cat or kitten.
Provide food, water, exercise and playtime as appropriate.
Spend time socializing your cat or kitten with as many people as possible to acclimate them to home life.
Monitor any medical and/or behavioral problems and provide any medications as directed.
Transport to/from adoption events & vet appointments.
Facilitate the adoption of your foster cat or kitten at the direction of your mentor
