Foster Caregivers Needed for Homeless Cats
Chatham Animal Rescue and Education, Inc.
(C.A.R.E.) needs volunteers commonly referred to as foster caregivers,
to provide quality, temporary, in-home care for homeless kittens and
cats from Chatham County until they can be permanently adopted by a
loving home. C.A.R.E. does not have a shelter. We can only
rescue as many animals as we have space for in our volunteer foster
caregiver network. Short term (as brief as a week) and longer-term
foster caregivers are needed. Fostering can be an incredibly
rewarding experience; however, it is a common misconception that
fostering is easy!
While in the custody of C.A.R.E., the
animals must receive affection, food, shelter, sterilization and
socialization to be successfully adopted. C.A.R.E. pays for the
cost of approved veterinary care and quality food. Fostering takes
a great deal of time and energy - both emotional and physical.
To accomplish the goals of our foster
program, standard policies and guidelines are in place to create an
environment that is beneficial to the animal, the foster home and the
organization. Several of the policies are highlighted below:
·
Each foster caregiver will attend a
comprehensive training session after the approval process is complete.
·
Each new foster caregiver is assigned an
experienced mentor and is given a foster handbook with standard
procedures and guidelines for animal care, fostering and policies.
·
Foster caregivers must be able to provide a
safe and caring home environment.
·
Foster caregivers showcase their animals at
C.A.R.E. sponsored adoption events and should be able to show foster
animals to potential adopters.
