Kitten foster carers needed
We are looking for foster carers who are open to socialising wild kittens!
It's an extremely rewarding experience and much easier than most think. Kittens under 8 weeks of age socialise up particularly fast, and can warm up your heart and home very quickly. Older kittens will take longer (2 to 6 months) but it also depends very much on the particular kittens temperament. The key to socialising is to let the kitten decide when to engage with you. No handling is required - only patience!
We provide you training and support as well as food, flea/worm treatment, vet care and all the essentials a kitten needs. You provide a safe, warm and secure separate room or private office, as an indoors only environment for the cat to grow 🐱 Dedication, time and patience is required, atleast 1 to 2 hours socialisation on each week day, and 3 hours "hangout time" on each weekend day. Such as reading to them, studying, listening to calming music etc. The more time spent, the faster the process may be. Your own pets and children will have no interaction with the wild kitties in your foster care. Transport preferred, but not essential.
If you can open up your heart, home and spare room to give a wild kitten/s a much deserved second chance, please get in touch with us.

⭐ Testimonial from a Foster ⭐
I have always loved cats, but I used to be the person that said “I could never foster as I would want to keep them all”. Or, “I can’t foster, my older cat would hate it”. So I would put it out of my mind and not think about it again. I never realised that these were just excuses, until 2019 when I found three 6 week old wild kittens whose mum had died, and if I didn't take them in they would not survive.
I was so lucky to have the support and guidance of Kittycat Rehoming on this rescue mission. Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Saving, loving, taming and socialising these three young kittens, who would have elsewise lived an unfair feral lifestyle they didn't ask for, was the best thing I could have ever done. Watching them grow strong, learn to trust humans and find loving forever homes was an absolute incredible experience. Knowing that these animals are alive, happy and healthy because of the work and dedication I put in, it's an indescribable feeling. Did I sob for days when they were adopted? Absolutely! Did my older cat like having them in the spare room? Probably not, but this was temporary for him and they are kept separate. And would I foster again knowing I am saving lives? In a heartbeat.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
