Importance of Fostering Cats

When you take pets from shelter home to foster homes, it provides them nurturing and relaxed environment.

There are plenty of good reasons for fostering cats, such as:

· Increases Chances of Adoption

When animals are in foster care, they’re at their best. When cats are in foster care, they learn and adopt essential habits for indoor living. New pet owners won’t have to teach these habits, so they prefer to adopt cats from foster homes.
