Why We Urgently Need Your Help

We have an ongoing need of fosters in Los Angeles County who are excited about the chance to make a difference for vulnerable feline populations, including: bottle-fed kittens, kittens learning to eat on their own, sick kittens, shy or scared kittens, moms with young kittens, or healthy and friendly kittens already eating on their own. We provide comprehensive training and help you build caregiving skillsets while you foster.

From March to November, there is an influx of kittens being born in Los Angeles. Many well-meaning animal lovers unintentionally orphan kittens by removing them from their mother and bringing them to a shelter. Once an underage kitten arrives at a shelter, their strongest chance for survival is in a dedicated foster home. To learn about the best way to help kittens you may find outside, please review our interactive Found Kittens tool.

The ASPCA needs fosters who can provide care and support for the kittens who arrive at a shelter until they are old enough to be adopted. We provide all the food, supplies, and medical services, as well as all the support you can ask for—all we need from you is TLC.
