Fostering Animals

A kitten fostered by Lisa last year. He has since found his 'forever home.'


Some folks have asked us about how fostering works.

Basically, if you have a spare room, and some spare time to look after an animal until a permanent home is found, that's fostering! We provide all food, supplies and vet care, you provide the space, time and love. 

Until we have our sanctuary building in place, we'll be relying on foster homes to be able to take in animals that would otherwise be euthanized through no fault of their own. The more foster homes we have, the more animals we can save! And we'd like to save as many as we can...

The greatest need is for cats and kittens, but all kinds of pets find themselves in need of fostering including dogs, puppies, rabbits, and other small animals. Potential foster homes fill out a fostering application, and decide the type of animal they are comfortable fostering. The LAS matches appropriate animals to that home. The time an animal is in foster care varies depending on the age and health of the animal, and the time it takes to find a forever home. 

This article explains fostering pretty well:

Please contact us if you'd like to be a foster home for the LAS. It's fun and rewarding...and it's good karma!
