Intake to Foster Program

Need to Surrender a cat and every place you call is full? 

Find some kittens and every place you call is full?

Our Intake to Foster Program might be able to help!

How does it work? You ‘surrender’ the cat or kittens to us, but you generally keep them for 3-4 weeks* while bringing them in to us when required for necessary vet checks, vaccines and sterilization (if needed). 

Not only does this guarantee your cat or found kittens a place to go in 3-4 weeks*, it keeps the cat or kittens in a home and comfortable, reducing stress, while we get them adoption ready, and it frees up needed shelter space. Once they are ready for adoption, you get a date to bring the cat or kittens in and they are adoption ready!

*Kittens usually take longer depending on age. Please call 623-773-2246 for additional information

Temporary Fosters

The Temporary Foster program is for any cat or kitten that needs a temporary home for various reasons. Some of the reasons we need temporary foster people would be for weight loss, surgery recovery, and additional socialization.  Sun Cities 4 Paws will cover the cost of any medical needs, as directed by the 4 Paws veterinarian. Cats in this program are required to have quarterly wellness checks.

If you are interested in being a Temporary Foster, please email information@4pawsrescue.org

Sun Cities 4 Paws will cover the cost of any medical needs, as directed by the 4 Paws veterinarian. Cats in this program are required to have quarterly wellness checks.
