This manual is intended to help you get ready for the arrival of your foster kitten and provide support during your fostering journey.
This manual provides step-by-step instructions for fostering orphaned kittens, including how to prepare your home, feed bottle babies, handle illness, and schedule vet visits. It also outlines different types of kittens needing care and the requirements for becoming a foster parent.
Foster parents must be able to dedicate daily time, separate foster animals from household pets, and handle potential health issues. Kittens are typically fostered until they reach 2 pounds for spay/neuter surgery, with varying care needs depending on age and whether they have a mother.
You must be able to devote daily time, bring kittens to the shelter for exams every 3 weeks, handle emergencies, be at least 18 years old, separate foster animals from household pets, handle cleaning, and emotionally handle sickness or death of foster animals.
Kittens return every 3 weeks for vetting until they reach 2 pounds, at which time they are spayed/neutered and placed for adoption.
