Fostering a rescued cat is very rewarding, especially when the cat is successfully adopted into a loving forever home. The Cat Channel has provided a list of The Top 10 Benefits of Fostering Cats*
1. Fostering saves millions of cats’ and dogs’ lives each year.
2. Fostering gives one-on-one attention to orphans and animals with trust issues that shelters otherwise would have to euthanize immediately.
3. Fostering allows cats to live in a home environment and become accustomed to typical sights, sounds and smells rather than being confined to a cage.
4. Fostering allows the foster owner to get to know the cat and give potential adopters a better idea about its personality.
5. Fostering helps socialize shy cats.
6. Fostering helps shelters build their facilities as well as keep them staffed.
7. Fostering allows parents who want their kids to experience the miracle of birth to do so without adding to the pet population by fostering a pregnant queen.
8. Fostering cats provides short-term companions for seniors without the personal pet expenses.
9. Fostering gives you an opportunity to really get to know a cat before you make a long-term commitment.
10. Fostering allows you to have no out-of-pocket expenses except food and litter because many rescue groups pay for all the foster cat’s medical needs. All you add is love.
