We ask that foster carers are compassionate, empathetic and adaptable to the needs of the animals that come into their care. This care includes feeding, training and taking the cat to any necessary appointments. You don't need prior experience as Battersea will give you all the training, support and guidance you need. However, a lot of the animals that would benefit from foster care may need a little more work, so we really welcome people who have cared for more challenging animals. Battersea will provide you with everything you need to care for your foster animal, including food, bedding, toys and veterinary care. We have a dedicated fostering team who are on hand to answer any queries or concerns and give ongoing support.
