Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Open the Foster Care Application from the Foster Care page at merakianimalsanctuary.com/foster-care, or email merakianimalsanctuary@gmail.com with questions first..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Fostering is described as short term. You care for a mother cat with kittens, orphan kittens, or a friendly adult stray, and the sanctuary provides a starter kit with food, a litter box, litter, bowls, a carrier and a few toys. The page does not give a stay length, housing rules, or any training step.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Fostering starts with an application, though the sanctuary offers help with questions along the way, so there is a step to complete before you can start..
