Foster a homeless catUnfortunately thousands of cats each year rely on the help of animal charities because of a change in their owner’s circumstances, they have been abandoned or have strayed. Volunteers at The Cat Corner give these cats and kittens a second chance in life and help to create happy endings for cats across Hampton Roads and beyond.
Fostering is just one way you can be part of these happy endings for cats in your community! As a foster you take a cat into your home temporarily and provide the care and TLC it needs until it finds its new forever home.
Fostering not only benefits cats and kittens, it provides cat lovers with an opportunity to give back and help cats in the best way they can. Some volunteers can’t commit to owning a cat 365 days a year, others foster because they can’t guarantee that they will lead a cat-friendly lifestyle for the life span of a pet cat, others prefer doing something practical rather than donating money to the charity; all love cats and do it for the joy it brings them every day…
Whatever your reasons for getting involved we welcome those with cats in their hearts as fosters. Almost anyone can foster, you just need spare time to care for cats, be confident around cats, have a caring but practical personality, enjoy interacting with people and are happy to follow our cat care standards and charity policies. A thirst for knowledge around all things cat and happy to keep up-to-date information and complete paperwork for cats in care are also key for this role.

Mom Cats & KittensWe rescue a lot of mothers with nursing babies, young kittens without mothers, and neonatal kittens that need round the clock care.

Recovering CatsWe often take in cats that are recovering from surgery, aliments, and other medical conditions that would not be suitable for shelter life yet.
|
Senior & Hospice CatsWe try to make The Cat Corner as stress-free as possible but try to utilize foster homes for our senior cats and cats with terminal illnesses
