Fostering kittens is a wonderful and helpful thing to do. Your local animal shelter probably has small kittens in need of temporary homes before they are old enough to adopt. Doing this takes time, effort and motivation, as well as the strength to let the kitties go back to the shelter to find homes, but it will all be worth when you see your kittens living happily in their new homes. | Fostering kittens is a wonderful and helpful thing to do.

# Contact your local animal shelter. Almost all shelters provide fostering opportunities for members of the community, and would really appreciate their help. Before you can foster, you need to get approved by the shelter and fill out all the necessary paperwork. You may need to go to a training session when shelter staff will explain in depth how to take care of the kittens. Once you have been approved to foster, it may take a while before you get your first kittens to foster. The best time to foster is spring (otherwise known as kitten season), the time when most kittens are born, and end up homeless at the animal shelter. During this time, the shelters are often overcrowded with newborn kittens, and could use your help. | # Contact your local animal shelter.
