Cats Aid are always on the look-out for new fosterers. We currently have some urgent cases of older cats being surrendered through no fault of their own. If you think that this is something you would like to get involved in (even short-term using a spare bedroom) please send us an inquiry to catsaid@gmail.com and we can then have a chat with you about this very rewarding aspect of our work and what it involves.
So if you live in Dublin or the out-skirts and decide that you would like to go ahead please note that this may involve a quick home-check via Whats App. If you are renting you will need a letter from your land-lord.
The following will be the kind of questions we will ask you if you email us enquiring about fostering for Cats Aid –
We currently have a super team of fosterers from all walks of life who do great work. Below are some of their very recent comments …….
‘I love fostering for Cats Aid as when a newbie arrives at my house for fostering on day one they may be very young & scared, unwell or just needing TLC. The transformation I have witnessed over a period of time to when these cats go to their new homes can be hugely rewarding and heart-warming. I highly recommend it’.
