Volunteer & foster
Fosters are the heart of a rescue.
You don't need experience — just patience and a quiet space. We train you for neonatal care, give you the supplies, and stay with you the whole way. If fostering isn't for you, there are many other ways to help.
What fostering involves
Honest about the commitment
Feeding every 2–3 hours
Newborns need round-the-clock feeding. For the tiniest, that means a night alarm — and a lot of heart.
Warmth, always
Kittens can't regulate their temperature. A heat source and monitoring are essential.
We don't leave you alone
A mentor, a supply kit, and a phone line you can call at 3 a.m. You'll never figure this out by yourself.
Roles
Ways to help that aren't bottle-feeding
Neonatal foster
Bottle-feed a litter in your home. We train you, supply you, and support you 24/7.
Transport
Drive kittens to vet visits and foster placements. Flexible and high-impact.
Photography & social
Help us tell each kitten's story — the thing that gets them adopted.
Event crew
Staff adoption events and fundraisers. Great for groups.
Behind the scenes
Admin, grant-writing, and data — the invisible work that keeps us running.
Supplies & laundry
Bedding, cleaning, and kit assembly. Simple, and deeply needed.

Daily kitten updates, milestones, and rescue stories — join us where you already are. Handles are being set up; they'll go live here first.
Social is our lifeline
Most of our kittens are found and placed through the community — a share can save a life. We'll post feeds, live milestone counts, and foster calls here.
Coming soon: live Instagram & YouTube embeds, a milestone counter, and a volunteer sign-up flow.
