Become a Foster Home for Wayward Whiskers
Open Your Heart and Home!
At Wayward Whiskers, we believe that every cat and dog deserves a loving home, even if it’s just for a little while. That’s where our incredible foster families come in! Fostering is a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of animals in need while helping us prepare them for their forever homes.
Why Foster?
Individual Attention
Many of our animals thrive in a home environment where they receive personal care, socialization, and training.
Space for More Rescues
By providing temporary care for animals, you help us open up space in our facilities for more pets in need.
Help in Transition
Foster homes help ease the transition for animals who may be stressed or scared in a shelter environment, giving them a chance to flourish.
What It Means to Foster
As a foster parent, you will:
-
Provide a safe, loving home for a cat or dog until they are ready for adoption.
-
Offer companionship, care, and support to help them adjust to home life.
-
Work with our team to ensure the animal receives necessary medical care and training.
-
Share updates and photos with us to help find the perfect forever home for your foster pet.
