What do our cat fosterer volunteers do?

CDPA Kitty Fosterer volunteers provide a temporary, loving & safe home for our rescued cats & kittens with the support of other CDPA volunteers. Fosterers prepare the kitties for their forever home by helping socialise, train and administer medical treatment to kitties rescued by CDPA.

Foster kitties are usually with fosterers between 1 to 3 months – the exact time depends on the kitty. If something changes and you cannot volunteer anymore just let our team know and we will reallocate the cats!

What our volunteers say about CDPA!

“It’s purr-fect! Everyone is very paw-sitive and fur-indly. I feel very fur-tunate that I can be a part of CDPA”

”It had been an amazing experience where I have learned so much and have meet such an amazing group of people and I get to help animals who need help”

”I am so glad I found the rescue and hope to continue volunteering and fostering with them for the foreseeable future.”

 ”I love my role within CDPA and find it very fulfilling. The people I volunteer with are lovely and everyone is friendly and helpful. If only I didn’t have to work at all I’d be doing it full time!!’
