Mom with her kittens

Did you find a healthy kitten with mom nearby?

The best thing to do for healthy kittens is to leave them with their mother, who is often nearby planning to return and care for her babies.

Foster kittens to save lives

When you foster kittens, you become part of a lifesaving team working to create a bright future for homeless kittens here in Northwest Arkansas.

You can foster for Best Friends, or you can volunteer with one of our partnering shelters in Northwest Arkansas. Your help is especially important from March through December, when kittens arrive in overwhelming numbers at our nation’s animal shelters.

When you foster with Best Friends, we'll provide the necessary supplies and support to make sure the kittens get the love and care they need. Do you have questions about fostering with Best Friends? Email fosternwa@bestfriends.org.

Help your local animal shelter or rescue group 

At Best Friends, our goal is to get more dogs and cats out of shelters and into homes and make every shelter in America no-kill. Each and every one of these shelters needs caring people like you to adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, and advocate to help save the lives of pets in your community.
