Quebec and possibly Ontario furs? Want to Help Save Cats?
11 years ago
[Journal] Hello everyone :)
I am a foster familly for a cat rescue here in the south shore of Montreal. They are not very well known yet, so I am asking if you mind liking their facebook page and following them on twitter? We are trying to network, especially with local people. If you cannot adopt or foster, simply liking our pages will help. Who knows, maybe someone you know is looking for a kitten? Rescue kittens are great pets :) Otherwise we are hoping this will get us more foster families so we can save more cats, AND of course more families to adopt the cats in question!
Cloud 9 helps larger shelters by taking in the cats that they can and save them from being euthanized. We only function with foster famillies. The nore foster famillies, the more cats we can save.
On adopting:
They are willing to travel up to 2 hours for an appointment so you can meet the kittens and choose your new friend. All cats are fixed, microchipped, de-wormed and have their first vaccines. Good package deal all for 120$ CDN. Cloud 9 makes no profit off of this.
On fostering:
Cloud 9 needs more foster famillies in order to save more cats. You provide the cats basic care: food, litter, love , shelter . Cloud 9 pays all the vet bills. We do a lot of adoption days and social networking so our foster famillies have not been "stuck" with a cat yet. If this should become an issue, a cat can be transfered into another foster familly if you cannot foster anymore. People do not come into your home to visit the cats unless you want to: Cloud 9 will take appointments and bring the kittens to the homes of potential adopters.

Thank you for reading & following :)
PS: Yes I still draw, just progressing slowly but surely due to 40 hr / week job and saving animals on the side.

Sounds like a fun job, though. What are their requirements for foster families?
Its rewarding to raise / socialize cats and find them homes :) Of course there are messes to pick up sometimes but thats just part of taking care of several animals at once.
But yeah, there aren't any major requrements besides giving them a loving home until they find a forever home . The kittens will stay for about 1-2 months until they are heavy enough to be fixed (the operation is too risky if theyre not big enough) , During the mean time people can reserve them. Foster families provide food, litter , shelter and Cloud 9 takes care of vet costs. Besides that its best that the foster family can isolate the small kittens to one quiet area of the place theyre staying. Thats pretty much it! If you are good with animals and have the space thats pretty much the requirements.
Are there any requirements that you don't have any pets of your own? It sounds like you can insist that no-one visits the animals in your own house.
If you are applying to adopt, they can get used to eachother and they have forms for introducing the animals to new pets.
I do not have people visit here. They come get the cats and bring them to the potential adopters place for an appointment.
Sorry for asking all these questions, but this seems like a useful thing for me -- I can have the advantages of having animals around during the spring/summer/fall, without the issues of trying to find a house-sit that will allow me to have pets of my own.
