Friends, we could really use your help. We urgently need foster homes for kittens. We’re seeing an increase in illness this season, and moving potentially exposed cats into foster care is the best way to help keep everyone healthy while we deep clean our cat side.

Kittens should be kept separate from other cats (except their littermates– if applicable) in an easy-to-clean space with hard flooring, such as a bathroom. Carpet cannot be fully sanitized.

They should stay in foster care for at least 7 days, though 2 weeks is preferred.

We will provide ALL supplies and veterinary care, and we will be available to support you throughout the foster period.

If you can help, please email foster@humanesocietytennessee.org.
