Description

Becoming a foster home with Sammy’s Forgotten Felines is a meaningful way to help save lives—without the long-term commitment of adoption. Fostering is flexible, rewarding, and perfect for students, working professionals, or anyone who wants to make a difference from the comfort of their own home. 

Whether you’re home between classes, working remotely, or studying at night, your time, space, and love could be exactly what a cat needs to heal, grow, and get ready for a forever home. 

This is the right role for you if you are someone who: 

  • Loves cats but isn’t ready for full-time pet ownership. 

  • Has a calm, safe indoor space to care for a cat temporarily. 

  • Can transport cats to vet appointments, if needed. 

  • Has landlord permission if renting. 

  • Is dependable and able to follow care instructions. 

  • Wants to make a tangible, personal difference in an animal’s life. 

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Provide daily care, feeding, and love to your foster cat. 

  • Monitor health and behavior and communicate with our team as needed. 

  • Transport your foster cat to veterinary appointments if required. 

  • Help your foster cat get socialized and ready for adoption! 

Time Commitment: 

We ask that volunteers agree to foster cats on an as needed basis. Fostering is an ongoing responsibility once started. Each cat will have different fostering needs and time commitment. 

Sammy’s provides everything you need, including: 

  • Food, litter, toys, and all basic supplies. 

  • Vet care and medical support. 

  • Ongoing guidance from our foster coordinator. 

Help a cat, gain a furry study buddy, and make a difference. 

Must be able to transport cats to vet appointments, if required.
