Fostering Cats

Yesterday my family and I stopped at the pet store to pick up some dog food. In the front of the store they had cages set up with cats and kittens available for adoption, so of course we had to take a little detour.

While my girls ooh’d and ahh’d over the kittens, my husband and I got to talking with one of the volunteers about the three cats we already have. Though we’re not “in the market” for any more pets we do miss having kittens around (and the girls have never had kittens!), the volunteer mentioned that they can always use volunteers for fostering.

Cat fostering is something my husband and I have talked about off and on for several years, but between the kids being too young and not having the room it just wasn’t a possibility. Now, however, the kids are older and a lot more responsible, and we have a little extra room to dedicate to it. Before we left I filled out an application and will hopefully hear back soon!
