Fostering a cat is a heartwarming experience that not only brings joy to your home but also helps bring families closer together. Caring for a furry friend creates shared moments of love and fun, and it teaches children the value of responsibility as they help with feeding, cleaning, and playing. Watching a cat blossom in their care fosters empathy and teamwork, making the whole family feel connected to the life they’re nurturing. It’s a beautiful way to bond, while also making a positive impact on a cat's future.
We asked our Foster Carers: "What is the best thing about Fostering?"
These are their responses…
“That magical moment when a cat chooses to trust you - whether it’s their first curious sniff of your hand, the first time they let you pet them, or they snuggle up beside you.”
“Witnessing the transformation from a scared, lost animal to a confident, playful one.”
“Seeing the joy they bring to their new owners once adopted... And knowing I made a difference.”
“I love building their confidence and building them from a lone animal to a family member. Teaching them how to interact with other cats and dogs so when it comes time for adoption, they are ready to slide comfortably into their new families, no matter who else lives in the house.”
“I was very depressed after my father's death just over 10 years ago, and getting the litter of kittens (and their Mum) took my mind out of dark places as I focused on their care, and watching the kitten antics. They improved my mental health amazingly.”
“Just knowing that you are ALWAYS learning something new with every cat/litter. Each cat/litter is different and will need to be treated differently to get the best out of them.”
