What It's Like to Foster Kittens

Fostering pets makes a huge difference. Right now, shelters and rescue groups all over the country desperately need foster homes to temporarily care for kittens until they’re old enough to be adopted.

Fostering is an incredibly heartwarming experience that makes a world of difference and saves lives. Best Friends (and lots of other shelters) will support you every step of the way, providing food, supplies, advice, and medical care while you foster.

If you haven’t started fostering kittens yet, now is the perfect time! These precious babies need you today. Visit bestfriends.org/foster to learn how you can save tiny lives in your community.

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. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

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.
