How to apply to become a foster parent in this special program First, you must fill out our Foster Care Application to describe yourself and your home environment. Once the application is reviewed, an interview and home inspection is made to ensure your home will be appropriate for a cat. Please understand that not all applicants will be accepted this program because we must make all decisions based on what is best for the cat in a long-term living situation. We also want to ensure a positive experience for the foster parent. Once everything is approved, we may place a cat shortly thereafter or wait until a good match is found.
