How to Help Your Foster Cat Get Adopted Faster

Shelters, rescue groups, and foster homes are full of kittens and cats who are ready to be matched with homes of their own. So the faster we can get our foster cats adopted, the more lives we can save.

When potential adopters meet foster kittens, the kittens are usually either in wild mode zooming all over or sound asleep. And when you foster adult cats, sometimes they hide or take time to warm up to new people. So it's a great idea to have video ready to show off all the facets of their personality.

To all the feline foster caregivers, volunteers, and shelter/rescue staff: We see you! We appreciate you! And we hope this video will help your cats and kittens find homes faster, so you can save even more.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Today, roughly 2,500 shelters are no-kill throughout the U.S. — and 700 more are just 100 pets or fewer away from reaching that milestone.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
