 Foster Parents
Are you hungry for the pitter-patter of little feet? You can give cats or kittens a chance to find a loving home.
Kittens often come to us several weeks too young for adoption. Some are sick or injured and need a safe place to recuperate. Foster parents provide food, shelter, and unlimited love, Cat’s Cradle assumes all veterinary expenses.
The time commitment varies from a few days to several weeks. A Foster Coordinator will work with you to find the right foster kitty or kitties, and is available to answer any questions.
If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please read our Foster Home Agreement and contact us.

 Trappers
TNR (trap, neuter, return) is a big key to ending cat euthanasia in our local shelters. Often on a weekend, we will trap 60 – 100 cats for Monday clinic appointments. This is a massive effort.
Cats in traps often must be maintained for a day or two until the appointments, which requires feeding, watering and transferring to clean the traps. Cats must be transported to the appointments and returned to the owners.
If you want to be part of this challenging but exciting work, contact us.
