PFA Foster home situation - URGENT

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, WE ARE FREEZING INTAKE OF RESCUED CATS INTO THE FOSTERING PROGRAM.
We are completely over capacity. We have 74 cats and kittens in care.

We have two barometers of how overcapacity we are, and both are ringing alarm bells. The first is my house, where I currently have 7 adult foster cats and five kittens (in addition to my own 6 cats and 2 dogs). The second are the boarding facilities we use in emergencies, where we currently have 5 more cats. So, even when we have openings, we will be playing catch up as we try to move the cats out of these temporary situations.

Cat adoptions are at a virtual standstill. The only adoptions that are happening right now are kittens. We are doing our best, but it is kitten season.

Do you want to help us try to move back into normal operations?
*If you are thinking of adopting a cat, please let us know. Now is the time.
*If you know anyone who could adopt a cat, please encourage them to contact us.
*Can you foster for us to help us get through this time?
*Do you know anyone who can foster? Please have them contact me at badbunnygirl@hotmail.com

When we are able to resume normal operations, we will notify you. This is not necessarily a bad thing - it is a symptom of our growth. We WILL catch up. We just need some time to do that. Please contact me with any questions, and thanks so much for your support on behalf of the animals.
