🚨 Emergency Fosterers

Be the call that saves a cat.

When we catch a stray or take in a cat unexpectedly, we sometimes need a safe place for them within a few hours — just for a night or a few days, until we arrange a longer-term foster. Emergency fosterers are the people we ring when that happens. We provide everything the cat needs; you provide the safe space.

Availability

When we catch or take in a cat, we often need somewhere safe for them within a few hours, just until we can arrange a longer-term foster. These questions help us know who to ring first.

If we ring you, how quickly could you take a cat in? *When is best to ring you? *

Which days are you usually available? *How long could you keep a cat until we find a longer foster? *

Could you collect the cat, or would we need to bring them to you? *Anything else about your availability?Shift patterns, school runs, times you can never answer the phone…

Your Home

Do you have a spare room or quiet space where the cat can be kept separate? *Newly rescued cats need to be kept apart from other pets while they settle and see a vet.
