Already know how to foster kittens?

If you’ve fostered kittens in the past, we’re so appreciative. Please keep it coming! Many shelters need help with kittens year-round, so repeat foster homes are always lifesavers.


When you foster kittens, you become part of a lifesaving team working to create a bright future for homeless pets around the country.

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.
