Volunteer to be a foster parent this Fall

Open your heart and your home to cats and kittens who need to get well or get bigger before they can go out for adoption. Sick animals recover faster in a stress-free environment. Your home is the perfect place for them to get one-on-one attention and the love they need to grow and/or get well.

If you're interested in helping us expand our walls by fostering, send an email to dee.cordell@kingcounty.gov or complete the Volunteer Application.
