Saratoga County Animal Shelter Seeks Foster Homes for Kittens

BALLSTON SPA — The Saratoga County Animal Shelter is seeking compassionate foster families to provide temporary homes for nursing mother cats with their kittens and litters of kittens. These kittens require a safe and nurturing environment until they can be spayed or neutered at three months old. The typical length of foster care is up to 3 months, depending on the age of the kittens when they arrive at the fosters home. 

Foster families are encouraged to offer an isolated space within their homes, ensuring the kittens are kept separate from other pets. This space should be large enough to accommodate food, water, and litterbox access, allowing the kittens to thrive. In addition to providing basic care, foster families will play a crucial role in socializing the kittens by offering love, attention, and playtime. 

While in foster care, kittens will receive regular medical check-ups and vaccinations at the shelter, ensuring they remain healthy and happy. 

If interested in becoming a foster and making a difference in these kittens’ lives, contact the Saratoga County Animal Shelter at 518-885-4113. To learn more about the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, please visit www.saratogacountyanimalshelter.com.
