Fostering is the perfect way to make a life-changing difference without the cost or permanence of adoption. At Dogs &amp; Cats Forever, we provide all the medical care and supplies you may need, including donated food and litter. All you need to offer is a safe, loving space for these animals to thrive.<\/p><p><strong>Who Needs Fosters?<\/strong> We are in urgent need of fosters for all kinds of animals, but especially:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li><strong>Kittens and mother cats<\/strong>: These animals need a quiet, calm environment to grow and bond before they\u2019re ready for adoption.<\/li><li><strong>Bottle-feeding fosters<\/strong>: If you have experience with orphaned kittens, we need your help! Young, abandoned babies require round-the-clock feeding and care.<\/li><li><strong>Shy or scared adult animals<\/strong>: Some pets have only ever known life in a home, so the shelter environment can be stressful and overwhelming. Foster homes provide a comfortable setting to help these animals regain confidence and prepare for their forever families.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Why Fostering Matters<\/strong> Young puppies and kittens, who cannot yet be vaccinated or spayed\/neutered, cannot stay in the shelter. Foster homes are vital to saving these vulnerable animals. Additionally, fostering provides the socialization and one-on-one attention that nervous or overlooked animals need to shine.<\/p><p><strong>Is Fostering Possible if I Have Other Pets?<\/strong> Absolutely! Fostering young babies often means keeping them separate from your other animals, but it\u2019s as simple as closing a door. A spare room, office, or even a bathroom can become a cozy sanctuary. Dry bathtubs even make excellent playpens for kittens and puppies!<\/p><p><strong>Ready to Make a Difference?<\/strong> If fostering sounds like the perfect fit for you, visit us during business hours at <strong>4600 Selvitz Rd. in Ft. Pierce<\/strong> to fill out a foster application. Together, we can give these animals the second chance they deserve.<\/p><p>For a similar opportunity to make a difference, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/agitated-mcclintock.209-150-31-161.plesk.page\/?p=667\"><strong>Fospice Program<\/strong> [click here].<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e194124 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"e194124\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/agitated-mcclintock.209-150-31-161.plesk.page\/?p=269\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M31.7 239l136-136c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L127.9 256l96.4 96.4c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L201.7 409c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-136-136c-9.5-9.4-9.5-24.6-.1-34z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Adoption Requirements<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/agitated-mcclintock.209-150-31-161.plesk.page\/?p=440\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">Give Love, Get Love: Volunteer at Dogs &#038; Cats Forever<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it Rains, it PURRS Have you ever wanted to help a homeless animal but felt unsure about a lifelong commitment or the financial responsibilities?
