Foster Carers

 Foster Carers Urgently Required

Can you provide a temporary home to a cat, kitten (and occasionally a dog or puppy) until we are able to find it a permanent home?

We will supply all you need to look after the animal.

You will need to:

  • Give the animal lots of love and attention
  • Be able to provide a safe home
  • Be over the age of 18 years
  • Have adequate space in your home
 

We are urgently looking for long term foster homes for some of our elderly felines.

 
This year has seen an increase in the number of elderly cats coming into our care.  These cats are all very affectionate, and just dream of a lap and some company for their remaining years.  The branch will continue to pay for the veterinary costs of the cat.  If you, or someone you know, could benefit from the companionship of a cat, without the concern of high veterinary costs, and are at home a lot of the time, please contact Jill at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Other kinds of fostering

 

Kittens

Between now and September, we see a dramatic increase in the number of kittens (with and without mum!) needing to come into our care.  A spare room is a must, as a lot are nervous when they first arrive, and need their own space in order to start settling in.
Ideally you will be at home during the day, or at least part time.  They will need lots of socialising as they get older, as well as regular feeding.  Although most kittens naturally use a litter tray, this will also need cleaning regularly.
 

 Adults

These two came into our care through the RSPCA Inspectorate, as their needs were not   being met in their previous home.  Consequently, they were very nervous, but with time   started to build confidence in a foster home.  If you have a spare room, a quiet home, and lots of patience, and are looking for a rewarding way to volunteer, please make contact with us. 
 
 
Fostering would ideally suit people who work from home or retired people. Full home visits are carried out by the RSPCA Richmond Twickenham & Barnes Branch prior to anyone providing a foster home to an animal, and a fostering agreement pack would be discussed and signed.
