Wait 'til 8 means waiting until the kittens are 8 weeks old before turning them into a shelter. Our program empowers our citizens to become foster parents for neonatal kittens until they are 8 weeks old or at least 2 pounds - the minimum age and weight for kittens to be spayed/neutered so they can be made available for adoption.
Driver's License or Government ID (please attach a copy)

To qualify for the program:
*
You must be able to safely house kittens and/or momma cat with nursing kittens for the duration of the program - typically until the kittens are 8 weeks of age or 2 pounds. (Exception - if mama is a "community cat", then she can be spayed and released back to her outdoor home as soon as the kittens are weaned, typically about 5-6 weeks of age)
*
Give adequate and age-appropriate food, fresh water daily (ASoSC can help with supplies if needed)
*
Provide a location indoors (a garage, basement, spare room) to enable the kittens to be in a clean environment. Provide clean bedding and litterbox (ASoSC can help with supplies if needed)
*
Must spend time each day socializing the kittens (Kittens need to be socialized and friendly in order to be appealing to a potential adopter). If upon exam, the kittens are not able to be held, petted, etc. We will provide an appointment to get them fixed and returned to you.
