So I am so so excited! I always wanted to help out a shelter but I don't have the money to donate or the time to work volunteer shifts- I applied for fostering and I just got an email this morning!! They have a litter (don't know how many kittens yet) that will need a foster home next week, she will be taking a feral mom and kittens.. they are 6 weeks old. She said ill have them roughly 4 weeks while they are fixed and vaccinated. I has asked previously about worming and fleas etc and they said they come home with meds for that. In response to the email from her today I asked what is needed of me other than socializing food water litter.. you know, the obvious.
I have raised my own two kittens plus their sister from 8 weeks to three months and loved it. It was a ton of work but the most rewarding thing I have ever done. So I am looking forward to this too. I am however wondering what to expect as mine came from a barn and these are feral, plus 2 weeks younger. Also what precautions should I make for my two cats?
I have extra bowls, a auto feeder and auto waterer and a litter box plus blankets and a spare room.. what else do I need and how many boxes per kittens? Any and all advice would be grand! I am simply so so excited to finally be helping out.
