Thank you for applying to foster for us. We will create a chat with you and offer continuous support. We have a wealth of experience and expertise within the team and we are available virtually 24/7.

We ask that you are willing to foster for a minimum of one month before you ask for a cat to be moved. Of course, depending on the Stray, they may be with you for a shorter time, or longer. We particularly welcome applications from fosters who are willing to foster a variety of different cats, from kittens to older cats, confident cats to nervous, shy cats. Your role as foster is to prepare them for a successful adoption, so we ask that you work with them on toilet training, and understanding household noises and routines. You must agree to keep any cat you are fostering indoors for the duration of their time with you. Obviously, if they seem amenable, it would be great if you could train them to walk on a harness and lead and then introduce them to the outside safely.
