Fostering

[Desley (booktigger)]

good luck in fostering - as Milly's mum says, you could ask other rescues if they are interested in your 'services'. It is a good experience.

Foster cats need to be kept separate from your own, at least for a quarantine period. You never know what the new cats are potentially harbouring or even your own. CP like it that way the whole time i think

You are quote right in the interest of safety CP ask that rescue cats are not mixed and indeed rescue catsfrom different situations are not mixed either. Obviously there are exceptions e.g 'Golden oldies' who go into specialised homes, ferals etc.

My George lost the battle with FIP in Feb, if i had had a mum with kittens mixing with him the ickle ones would have been at risk 

A spare room done up with cats in mind is plenty adequate for a needy beasty

A bit of everything really. When Harvey arrived and Toffee and Magnum didn't bat an eyelid at him.They just looked at him as if to say Ok mum's got a new fluff ball. When Sebastian came back he started playing with him straight away. It was Harvey that was having the problem with the others. For a few days after he arrived he was the one that was growling and hissing at them but now he's the bully  So I got to thinking maybe I could foster as the others were fine when Harvey arrived.

Catz, aswell as CP, the other smaller rescues in your area would probably like another fosterer.

With CP after you have fostered in your home for 6 months, they will consider offering you a pen in the garden.
Fostering is a great experience, sometimes difficult but seeing them go off to their new homes all healthy and happy outweighs that by far 

Do you want to foster mums & kittens or oldies or ferals? Or a bit of everything!

Not sure if this has been asked before but how does someone become a fosterer for the CPL?

 

You would need to contact the Co-ordinator of your local Branch. They dropped the 'L' (better than dropping a clanger) a few years ago and is not only use for banking purposes etc.

I have no idea I'm afraid, but just wanted to say well done you for wanting to do fostering

Not sure if this has been asked before but how does someone become a fosterer for the CPL? I'd like to become a foster mum when I move in with my fiance. I've mentioned it to him and he's all for the idea. At the moment I don't have the room so was just after some info about it for a later date.Thanks
