Purr Partners Feline Rescue

Temporary Foster Program

Purpose of the program: To help people who have found cats and/or kittens vet and find homes for them

Who is eligible?

You are eligible for the program if you have found cats or kittens that are strays and need help vetting and placing them in homes.
You must have an INDOOR space to foster where animals are allowed to be. No cats or kittens can be fostered outside, in garages, or in places where it is prohibited.
You must be in a stable home and not planning a move within the next year.
This is not a program for placing personal pets except under specific circumstances.
Feral and unsocialized cats and kittens are not accepted into this program. Before admittance to the program, any cats or kittens will be evaluated, and Purr Partners will determine if they are adoptable.
Any cat or kitten MUST BE COMBO/SNAP tested and be negative for FELV before it will be considered for the program. These results must be provided to Purr Partners. All cats and kittens coming into the program must be tested individually. If they come in as bottle babies and subsequently test positive for FELV, Purr Partners will no longer be responsible for them, and the person bringing them in will be required to keep them and make arrangements for them.
You must live within 30 miles of Wake Forest and be willing to transport and drive AS NEEDED.
Any animals currently in your home must be spayed or neutered, UTD on vaccines, and tested (and negative for FELV).

You must agree to the following, and if you cannot, please do not continue.

You must agree to foster till adoption. We cannot guarantee the length of time this will take. It could be two weeks, two months, or two years. There is no way to predict. At no time, will cats or kittens you bring into the program be moved to another foster.
Kittens are not available for adoption till 12 weeks old and fully vetted. No exceptions.
Once you are admitted to the program, all cats and kittens must go through our adoption process which means any potential adopters will need to apply with us and be approved.
You must be willing to drive to our intake center in Wake Forest, to vets (Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Bunn) as needed, transport to Petsmart as assigned (Wake Forest Petsmart, Six Forks Petsmart, and Capital Blvd. Petsmart). Kittens and cats are assigned there on rotating basis once they become available for adoption.
You must be willing to join our closed Facebook pages and check them twice daily for information and schedules, and be willing to check email once or twice a day.
You must agree that if you drop out of the program before the cats or kittens are adopted, you will reimburse us for money we have spent.

Once you are admitted to the program, Purr Partners will provide all medical care, food, litter, and do everything we do for all our cats and kittens that gets them adopted.

These are the basics. If you are interested in moving forward, please complete the application to be a temporary foster (link coming soon!) and submit it. Once it is received, someone will contact you, and you will be sent a more extensive version of our Foster Guidelines that we all abide by.

We recognize that this is not an easy task. Fostering is work, and it takes times and effort. Please be sure you can make the necessary commitment before moving on. We get hundreds of requests to join the program, and we do not have the time or energy to process applications only to have people decide later they can’t do the program and drop out.

If you are not able to do the program, we sometimes take in cats or kittens if space allows, we can send you a list of other rescue groups, or you can take the cats to your county shelter.

Please send an email to purrpartners@yahoo.com for a list of rescues or to ask if we have space. Include information and pictures of the cats/kittens. We are usually completely full, so be aware that it is unlikely we can take them directly.
