Fostering can change lives. For animal and fosterer alike.
Fostering gives animals a chance who can’t cope in more stressful situations such as living at the rehoming centre. Fostering gives animals a chance to recuperate from illness, to recover from operations or to bring up their babies in a quiet and safe environment.
We are always looking for people to volunteer their time and expertise as fosterers. We provide as much support and guidance as is needed and all costs incurred in caring for the animal are covered by the branch – such as medical fees, food and any bedding requirements. Fostering can be short term or a more long term programme depending on the animal(s) you are fostering.
Fostering is an incredibly rewarding experience and we would love to have you join our friendly team.
For more information please email: fostering@rspca-canterbury.org.uk or call 01227 719113 to find out more information and to register your interest.
‘We have been privileged to foster two different cats that were not coping in the cattery environment. After a cautious start both quickly improved in confidence as they started to settle in. We are delighted that they both found perfect permanent homes within a fortnight of staying with us. It really helped their adopters to see their personalities shine in the comfort of the foster home and we couldn’t be more pleased that two overlooked cats got a chance at happiness.’
