FOSTER HOME FOUND!!
2 SETS OF MOM AND KITTENS THAT NEED FOSTER HOMES
Our intake is still closed, but we have been asked to help two little families
(moms and kittens) who were found outside.
There is a Tuxedo mother cat (less than an year old) and her 4 kittens (1 tuxedo and 3 black) who are around 6 weeks old.
Also needing a foster family is a black mother cat (less than a year old) who has 1 black kitten around 4 weeks of age.
Shelters are full and we have no open foster homes at this time in which to place these felines who face a very precarious future if we cannot bring them in to our Abbey Cat program.
If you can help, please fill out a foster parent application.…
If you are not able to foster at this time, please consider making a donation to help with the cost of medical attention when needed and nutritious food for the cats and kittens in our care.
No amount is too small to make a big difference and every gift is gratefully accepted.

Second only to finding a permanent home for each and every cat in the program, fostering is one of the most important aspects of Abbey Cat Adoptions. We do not have a shelter and rely exclusively on volunteer foster homes to care for our cats while they await placement in permanent homes. Every time a new foster place is created through adoption or the recruitment of a new volunteer foster parent, a cat or kitten can be rescued from being euthanized or dying of exposure.
From special needs cats who need to spend a few months with experienced cat owners to healthy well socialized cats who just need an emergency stopover while their adoption is being arranged, ACA needs foster homes for every imaginable situation.
We try to place cats in foster homes most appropriate for their age, temperament and circumstances so we ask that all potential foster parents fill out a questionnaire.
