Kitty Kind Foster Application

Thank you for your interest in fostering! Our foster community is a vital part of our rescue program.

Our fosterers:
help us assess a cat's personality to make excellent matches with potential adopters, and
give cats an opportunity to stretch their legs and bask in some love while they await their forever families.

We will be in touch with you when there is a match of cats with your preferences, at which point we will schedule a chat to get to know you better, share more details about our foster program and answer any questions you may have.
