FOSTER CARE PROGRAM
Thank you for your interest in our Foster Care Program. We appreciate your willingness to open your heart and home to homeless cats and kittens. Your dedication allows our organization to rescue felines that we would otherwise have to turn away due to limited space in our current foster homes or at the Adoption Center.
We provide all the supplies necessary for you to have a wonderful experience helping homeless cats - food, litter, crate, bedding, etc. We will give you a time frame for the length of your foster and you may wish to participate in helping place your foster in its new adoptive home.
The guiding mission of the Foster Care Program is to give cats' individualized care and socialization to prepare them for adoption. Information gathered during the foster process helps us place cats/kittens in homes and with families who can best meet their needs. Specific goals of the program include:
· Providing a safe, healthy, nurturing environment for mother cats to raise their kittens.
· Giving our long-term residents time away from the Adoption Center in a home setting.
· Socializing shy or timid cats and kittens.
· Allowing sick or injured cats to heal in a relaxing, uplifting environment.
· Nursing and bottle-feeding orphaned or abandoned kittens.
If you have questions about our foster care program, please contact me at foster@smittenwithkittens.net.

VOLUNTEER AND YOUTH PROGRAM
We are pleased and honored that you have selected SMITTEN WITH KITTENS as the organization to share your valuable time. There's so much to do for felines who have been rescued from homelessness, neglect or abuse.
The world of animal rescue can be demanding, heartbreaking and exhausting. Most of the time, however, it is so gratifying that you won't be able to imagine life without the reward of saving these precious lives. We hope that your time with us will be worthwhile and that you will look forward to each moment that you spend with SWK.
Our volunteer program is a very important part of our success. Volunteers donate thousands of hours each year to SWK in every part of our organization, allowing us to accomplish our mission of helping as many cats and kittens as possible.
Because of volunteers like you, we are able to dedicate our financial resources to the direct care of our animals. In addition, our volunteers provide extensive socialization, handling and training of our felines so they can become valuable members of their future families.
Please contact me to discuss how you can help us save lives. I look forward to hearing from you. You can reach me at volunteer@smittenwithkittens.net. On behalf of everyone at SWK, we'd like to welcome you to the team!
