Foster Caretaker
Foster parents are our heart, providing companionship, care, and a warm bed to a cat awaiting adoption.
Laps and Naps provides all necessary supplies including food, litter, veterinary care and medications. Foster families allow approved potential adopters to visit the cat(s) in your home at pre-arranged times, along with any necessary in-home veterinary or comfort care visits.
Whether you can offer short- or long-term stays, have pets at home or not, are single or a large family… there’s a cat who would love to stay with you!
Gifts for foster cats are always welcome from our Wishlists.
Sanctuary Home Foster Caretaker
Cats who are not adoptable stay with Sanctuary Home foster families.
These very special people care for the cat in their home for as long as they and the cat are happy, often through end-of-life. “I love helping, and I donʼt have to leave home to do it,ˮ says fostermom Charleen, who began volunteering with bottle-fed kittens but now prefers seniors – especially bonded cats and medical cases.
Cats like Rainbow, at left, spend their days safe and comfortable, knowing they were chosen by a person who loves them. Laps and Naps retains guardianship and covers veterinary expenses, food, and litter, unless the caregiver wishes to donate them.
