The Rewarding Life of a Foster
CVAS is always in need of foster families! Fostering is an amazing experience, directly saving the lives of one or many animals in need of extra care and attention that could not be provided in the busy shelter.
Kitten Season happens every year during the spring, and still every year we are over-run and understaffed for the amount of cats and kittens coming in.
As a foster, you would be providing a sanctuary for these animals to thrive.
CVAS provides all that is needed for fostering; supplies, education, and the support - both mentally and physically. Fostering, though fulfilling, can be a hard job to take on. It can be an emotional roller coaster at times, but in the end can be very rewarding knowing that you helped an animal in need move on to its loving forever home.
We are here for it all, and want to help you in anyway so that we can reduce your concerns and worries. The goal for every fostered feline is for them to get the care that they need to be ready to find their perfect forever home!
