Fostering Inquiry

Hello,

Fostering provides temporary relief from shelter life, reducing stress and allowing animals to flourish in a supportive sanctuary. It's especially beneficial for those needing medical attention or socialization. Foster homes are vital for animals with special needs, aiding their recovery and social development.

Animals that require fostering include:

• Orphaned Puppies and kittens too young for adoption (0-6 weeks)
• Nursing cats and dogs
• Ill, injured, or disabled animals needing specialized medical care
• Dogs needing socialization and training in a home environment
• Stressed older dogs and cats (end of life foster) that need a peaceful and loving environment to live out their sunset years
• Abused, neglected, or abandoned animals seeking human bonds

Hello,

Successful foster parents exhibit compassion, cooperation within their households, flexibility, and basic knowledge of animal behavior. Anyone seeking to make a positive impact and provide temporary care can be a foster parent, including individuals, families, and those living in Kenya temporarily.

Hello,

Foster parents are required to provide basic care including food, shelter, and love. You help the animal transition to a home environment, nurturing them while they await adoption. Your support helps them adjust, learn, and build confidence.

Hello,

Fostering brings a sense of accomplishment, knowing you're making a tangible difference in an animal's life. It's a way to test if your family is ready for full-time commitment, and you're contributing to the mission of saving animals without a home.

Hello,

The duration varies based on the animal's situation. Some stay for a short period, while others may need more extended care. It's a flexible commitment that aligns with the animal's needs.

Hello,

KSPCA is committed to offering necessary guidance, advice, and veterinary services during the fostering period. You are not alone on this journey; our team is here to assist you.

Hello,

While our goal is adoption, sometimes animals might not find their forever homes immediately. Rest assured, if the animal isn't adopted during fostering, they return to KSPCA, and you've still provided them with a nurturing environment.
