Foster Today
PAWS provides everything you will need. All you need to provide is a loving home!
At PAWS, we believe every kitten, puppy, pregnant mom, and nursing animal deserves a safe, caring place to grow and thrive. Many of these cats and dogs need extra support during this critical time, and by becoming a foster, you give them the comfort, stability, and love they need to start their next chapter with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Foster?
Fostering is a rewarding experience that allows you to make a real difference in the lives of kittens, puppies, pregnant moms, and nursing animals with their litters. These cats and dogs simply need a safe, calm environment where they can grow, heal, play, and develop their personalities. As a foster, you provide that nurturing space, and in return, you get to witness their incredible transformation while helping prepare them for a loving forever home.
For Abandoned Kittens and Puppies
Kittens and puppies that need fostering are often very young and require a little extra care to grow healthy and strong. They may need bottle feeding, socialization, and plenty of attention during their first few weeks of life. By fostering these little ones, you help them build confidence, learn positive behaviors, and develop into well-adjusted, playful companions ready to find their forever homes.
For Pregnant Cats and Dogs
Pregnant cats and dogs often need a calm, safe space to rest and prepare for the arrival of their babies. As a foster, you provide that comfort and stability so they can settle in and focus on their pregnancy. You will give her a quiet place to relax, and she will do most of the work once her kittens or puppies arrive. Your role is to offer support while you witness the incredible journey of motherhood unfold.
For Animal Moms and Their Litters
Mother cats and dogs are natural caregivers and typically handle most of the work during the first several weeks. Your role as a foster is simple: provide a cozy, safe environment where mom and her kittens or puppies can thrive. You will watch the babies grow, play, and begin exploring the world around them, all while their mom cares for them. It is a beautiful and rewarding process to witness as you help prepare them for adoption.
