going to be a fosterer


Hello all, not been on here for ages-hope you're all ok.
I have offered to become a cat/kitten fosterer for my local branch of Cats protection. I'm looking forward to it & am very excited. Anyone else on here do it?

Re: going to be a fosterer


there are many rewards but there are also so many heart aches.Hand rearing is such a tricky thing .You can only try.The worst part is when you have managed to rear them you have to hand them back.This always makes me cry.

Yes there is the sad side to it. It must take a lot of time and patience to feed very tiny kittens too - you can't help but get attached to them.
