BECOME A FOSTER CARER
Furry Friends operates as a non-shelter rescue, placing cats and kittens with foster carers until they find permanent homes.
Fostering is a rewarding experience open to almost anyone.
Before approval, it is VERT IMPORTANT to note that we conduct a virtual home tour to ensure safety, prioritizing secure doors and windows and quarantine space.
HOME
Ultimately, we try to ensure that our foster carers are as little out of pocket as possible, but seeing as we are only funded by donations, sometimes food supply costs can impact our rescue.
Furry Friends Animal Rescue QLD does have certain requirements that need to be met before you can become a foster carer, one of these requirements is a virtual home tour to ensure your home is suitable for cats or kittens.
Most of our requirements are all fairly normal requirements of being a responsible pet owner. Our major goal is to ensure all our foster animals are healthy, happy, social and well mannered and ready for adoption.
Your Home
Is your home escape proof? Do you have screens on your windows and doors?
Kittens will test everything.
Transport
All cats and kittens must be transported in a secure cat carrier large enough for them to stand.
Personality
To build our profile for adoption day, we need to know all the little traits of the cat or kitten.
Quarantine
All cats and kittens coming into your care need to complete 10 days quarantine, so you will need the space.
Photos and Videos
We need plenty of good photos and videos for social media and so we can create a beautiful profile come adoption time.
Treatments
All worm and flea treatments must be administered on schedule and communicated.
If you believe that you can give one or more of our cats or kittens a great temporary home, please complete the foster application form and one of our volunteers will contact you.
