Interested in Fostering?
Most of our cats and kittens are in our primary foster homes.
Sometimes we have a cat or kitten that would do better in a foster
home with one or two or maybe just a couple of other cats or kittens.
Can you help us out with that?
For fostering, Purr Paws Rescue covers the veterinary expenses and the
foster home provides the basic care supplies such as food, water, litter, and toys.
Purr Paws Rescue has, on occasion, provided food and litter to a home that is willing
to foster but would otherwise be unable to do so due to money issues.
If you are willing to foster, please fill out the Foster Questionairre and submit it.
One of our volunteers will get back in touch with you as soon as possible.
