Thank you so much for dedicating your time and love to our animals in need! 

Desert Paws Rescue (“Desert Paws,” or “DPR”) considers in-home fostering essential to the welfare and proper placement of our animals.  Fostering allows us to provide emotional support for animals in need and gives us valuable insight into the animal’s personality.  These elements assist us in ensuring that our animals are appropriately matched with the right forever family and receive the second chance that they deserve!

Foster families provide:

  • A healthy and safe environment for their foster cats

  • Transportation to and from adoption events, the adoption center, and any necessary medical services

  • Socialization and cuddle time to help teach the cats about positive family and relationships

  • Quality food and litter to ensure that the foster remains healthy

  • Lots of exercise and playtime to help them develop into great pets!

This Feline Foster Guide was designed to provide you with information regarding Desert Paws Rescue Foster-Program operations and foster responsibilities.  It is important that you read through the document to ensure that you are aware of expectations regarding necessary medical and adoption services.  This document is by no means comprehensive, so we encourage you to reach out to a Desert Paws representative if you have questions regarding your foster’s health or the Desert Paws adoption process.
