Meet Our Adorable Foster Cats
Maya
Maya was found cold, wet, and malnourished in someone's yard. FFOCAS took her in and placed her in a loving foster home, where she's doing much better. Our sweet senior girl is a hospice kitty. She's blind, has a tumor in her lung, and has arthritis. But she's going to get lots of love and the best medical care for as long as she's enjoying life. If you'd like to help us make Maya's final months happy, consider sponsoring her.
Grizzly
This handsome fellow was relinquished to our partner shelter for urinating outside the litterbox. Turns out the poor kitty had painful bladder stones that were causing the house soiling. (This is why all kitties going outside the litterbox should be seen by a vet asap!). The stones were dissolved with a prescription diet and he hasn't peed outside the box since. Grizzly also has a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Miss Kitty Fluffington
Another kitty who came to us unsocialized, Miss Kitty had been trapped with her two kittens and brought to our partner shelter. Knowing she stood little chance of being adopted, we brought her into our foster program, socialized the kittens and got them adopted, and then turned our attention to Miss Kitty. Like Hesper, she’s come a long way and has become quite an affectionate, playful cat though will need a quiet home and patient adopter.
Hope
Found as a tiny sick, nearly blind FIV+ kitten, Hope required a lot of care to get her healthy, and happily she is now thriving and ready for her forever home.
Finn
Finn is confident, friendly, and playful. But unfortunately, because he was handled in ways he found unpleasant or scary, he is prone to swatting and biting if touched when he doesn’t want to be. He quickly figured out that aggressive behavior got him what he wanted—to be left alone—and learned to use that behavior in other contexts, such as biting to get attention or scratching and biting during play. Thankfully, he’s got an experienced foster mom who is working with our cat behaviorist to implement a behavior modification plan to resolve his aggressive behaviors so he can be a loving, affectionate cat we know deep down he truly is.
Hesper
Relinquished for behavioral reasons, Hesper came to us as a “house feral,” a cat who, often due to animal hoarding, has lived in a home but hasn’t been socialized. Because she’d never known life outdoors, we couldn’t release her to a colony. And because she was fearful of people, we knew she needed intensive behavioral intervention before we could promote her for adoption. Happily, she has blossomed into an affectionate, cuddly cat, though she will need a quiet home and patient adopter who’s willing to give her extra time and support to adjust to her forever home.
Sponsor a Foster Cat
Not able to foster a cat yourself but want to help cats in our foster program? Sponsoring a foster cat with a monthly donation is a great way to help ensure that our special needs kitties get the veterinary care, medications, and prescription food they require. We take in cats and kittens with medical or behavioral issues that require extra resources.
Your monthly donation will help pay for insulin for diabetic cats, subcutaneous fluids for cats with chronic kidney failure, and prescription food for cats with gastrointestinal disease, to name just a few of our regular expenses. Your financial support will also allow us to take the time necessary to help cats with behavior issues. These cats are often healthy but need to remain in our program for longer than the typical foster cat as we help them learn to trust and bond with people.
Sponsor a cat for a life-saving monthly donation that fits your budget!
