Foster
Animal foster care is temporary care provided in someone’s home for those animals that are too young to be desexed or those who would not cope well in a shelter environment.
Fostering kittens, a cat or dog, and preparing them for their forever home, is highly rewarding. Caring for an animal in need will not only bring you much love and joy but also the satisfaction of having saved an animal’s life.
If you’re not able to make a lifelong financial or emotional commitment to an animal, fostering is a wonderful alternative to adoption.
There are three steps to fostering an animal through Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre.

You’ll be invited to an online or in person interview with a Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre staff member. This is an informal meeting so that we can get to know you and your living environment as well as discuss any concerns you might have.
Step 3. Meet your foster animal
If your application is approved, we’ll deliver the animal or animals to your home along with your starter pack. We’ll advise you on the best food for the animal in your care and answer any questions you might have.
