Foster Application

Cat Foster Application

Thank you so much for your interest in becoming a foster parent for The Feline Foundation. Foster parents provide stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens a bridge between their unhappy pasts and permanent, loving adoptive homes. Please take a few minutes to complete the following application. A volunteer will be in touch with you shortly after receiving your completed application

We specialize in matching cats and kittens
with adoptive parents based on applications and in-depth interviews to
identify the kitty characteristics that will best suit the prospective
owner’s desires and lifestyle.

To be considered as a foster, you must:
  • Be 21 years of age or older
  • Have identification showing your present address
  • Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord
  • Acknowledge that all FFGW cats must be kept indoors
