Cats may become homeless if the circumstances of their families change. If a family moves to a residence that does not allow cats or has a financial setback, the family may need to surrender the cat to an animal shelter or cat rescue home.
A member of the family may have developed an allergy to cats. At times, a litter of kittens is surrendered due to the familys neglect of having the cats fixed and a lack of ability or willingness to care for the litter of kittens.
These homeless cats are often surrendered to animal shelters or cat rescue homes. A majority of pets are surrendered to rescue groups and shelters due to changes in the family and not due to problems with the animals.
A cat rescue home can be a small rescue group that shelters the cats in homes or people who choose to foster cats who are currently without permanent homes. Some cat rescue homes are dedicated to fostering a particular cat breed, though breed-specific rescue homes are more common with dogs than cats.
Animal shelters are often in need of fosterers to care for pets in their homes. This helps the shelter by alleviating some of the strain of numerous animals. Placement of a cat in a foster home is often beneficial to the cat as well since the cat will live in a family setting and have normal social interaction.
Being a fosterer can be a very positive experience. The fosterer can take pride in contributing to animal rescue efforts. The fostered pets often show affection and provide companionship.
Some people would like to become fosterers but have concerns over the costs of caring for the animals. Some animal shelters cover many of the costs of fostering cats including veterinary care, litter, and cat food.
Many animal shelters recruit volunteers to foster animals in their homes. Fosterers care for shelter animals in their own homes. This helps keep the pets in the shelter at a comfortable limit and provides the pet with a family environment until it is placed in a permanent home.
