Cats in Need (Yorba Linda) are seeking local families this to help Season with fostering kittens and cats found in our local communities

Did you know...? Underage kittens have the highest rate of euthanasia at our local shelters due to the lack of available fosters? Thousands of babies will be killed unnecessarily this season, but we can save many of them with your help!

Our wonderful fosters are all local families and individuals who are able to balance kitten fostering alongside their careers, families and extracurricular activities!

Our fosters live all over north OC including Brea, Yorba Linda, Placentia, Tustin, Fullerton, Buena Park, Orange, La Mirada, Corona, and every city in between!

All you need to get started is:

SPACE- A clean bedroom, bathroom, or space for a playpen in a corner of the home

TIME - Kittens enjoy playtime and socialization, and of course need to be fed, litter cleaned, etc...

You decide how many kitties to foster at once, if you can handle medical needs or not, what age, etc...

Cats in Need provides all medical care and vetting, and can provide supplies as needed

Your High Schoolers can earn their community service hours by helping to care for cute kittens!

To get started, please text 714-561-3117 with basic information about your home and family, and/or with additional questions you might have!

Here are some FAQs:

Q: "How do you give them up? I worry I'll "Foster Fail" and want to keep them!"

A: Our rescue thoroughly vets the families that adopt our kitties. By opening your home to one or more babies for a short period, and then sending them to their new loving family, you're not only saving a life, you're then able to save even more by continuing to foster again and again!

Q: "What if I have cats and dogs of my own?"

A: Fosters that have resident pets (and kids!) contribute to some of our most well-rounded foster kittens! The kitties learn to live comfortably with other animals and in a loving environment full of lots of noise and wet noses!

Q: "We work full time, can we still foster?"

A: Absolutely! Most all of our fosters are employed full-time. Foster kitties over 6-weeks or so can happily chill at home with their kibble and water until you get home for snuggles.

Fostering may not be right for you if:
- There is a working dog door
- Cat allergies or unknown allergies in the home
- Resident dog(s) with high prey drive
- Toddlers or non-pet-responsible children in the home
- You actually want to ADOPT a kitty. In this case, please visit this link to find the right kitty for you!
