FOSTER A CAT IN DELAWARE

You can find our volunteer and foster applications on our website under the “forms” section – if you are unable to print it or need a hard copy mailed to you, please feel free to reach out via email at phcradopt@gmail.com. We are always in need of volunteers to help with caring for cats and cleaning our adoption center at the Dover Petsmart, as well as for other needs including transportation, laundry and special events.

So often people say they don’t want to foster because it would be difficult to give the cats up. It undoubtedly can be hard, but the even harder reality is that without foster homes many cats would be unable to be saved in the first place. And every foster cat that finds an adoptive home opens a space for a new cat to be rescued. When you look at it that way, fostering does not seem quite as hard — fosters are true heroes in animal rescue!

Fostering is the real bottle neck point in rescue work – we could help so many more cats if we had more fosters! It’s a deeply rewarding and meaningful way to give back and to help the cats in your community. It also can be a great option for folks who want cat companionship in their lives but can’t make a lifelong commitment to a cat at this stage in their life, whether for financial reasons, because of upcoming moves, or any number of reasons. The first step is to fill out our foster application, which you can find on our website under the “forms” section (if you cannot download or print it, please contact us at phcradopt@gmail.com to request a copy). We work with foster homes to identify cats that are appropriate placements for their home, considering factors including age, health status and special needs. We provide all veterinary care; we can also provide food, litter and other supplies as needed! You provide the love and TLC.

We strive to provide the cats we rescue the best possible vet care – all Purr-Fect Haven cats receive comprehensive preventative care, including vaccines, spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV and fecal testing, microchipping and more – but also receive specialty care as needed (e.g. dental procedures, cardiology consults). We can only continue to provide this level of care – the care every cat deserves – with the help of our friends and supporters.​You can donate via Paypal – you can donate using the guest checkout option with a credit card and do not need to have a PayPal account -- or by sending a check made out to Purr-Fect Haven Cat Rescue to our mailing address, PO Box 1737 Dover DE 19903.    We are a 501-C3 and all donations are tax-deductible. You can also donate supplies; our Amazon wish list is here. Donations of food and litter especially are always much needed! And if you prefer, you can always support us by contacting one of our veterinary partners to make a contribution directly to our account: Forrest Avenue Animal Hospital (302-736-3000) and Brenford Animal Hospital (302-678-9418).
