(Please note that for every foster’s first foster experience, they will be required to foster teenagers or adults. These are the easiest to foster and require the least veterinary care, and it allows a first time foster to learn our procedures and protocols before taking on a more difficult role with kittens or special needs cats or kittens. This requirement may be waived based on experience and knowledge)
