Want to take care of a kitten or cat, but can’t commit to looking after them permanently?

A’s Service for Rescue Kittens is after people to become foster carers for kittens, pregnant cats and mother cats for a short period of time.

The carers look after the cats while they grow, recover from illnesses and become socially interactive, before they are adopted out to their forever home.

Head rescuer Ashley Nazim said the organisation was always after carers to help look after kittens and cats.

“We basically take in kittens, mum cats and pregnant cats,” she said.

“We take care of them and we give them a chance. Some are ill, some aren’t sociable. We foster them out sometimes for two weeks or sometimes two months to help them grow.

“A lot of them are underage and not desexed, so we can’t adopt them out.”

Ms Nazim said they were always after foster carers to help look after the pets and will work with their availability.

All the cats are desexed and microchipped before they are adopted out.
