Fostering Cats and Kittens

Cats and kittens of all ages need foster homes for a variety of reasons. We are always in need of foster parents who can care for:

  • Underage kittens
  • Mother cats with kittens
  • Kittens who need socialization
  • Sick/injured cats and kittens

JHS provides all necessary supplies and veterinary care. You supply the space, the time, and – of course – the love!

Want to foster adult cats who could use a break from the shelter?

If you’d like to treat an adult shelter cat to a mini-getaway, then our Shelter Staycation program is for you! Shelter Staycations give our adult cats a much-needed break from the shelter and help us learn all about their personalities. Cat Staycations are generally 2 weeks long. While hosting a cat for a Staycation, you can help them find a home by promoting them online and telling your friends and family all about them!

How to get started:

  1. Check out cats who are eligible for a Staycation here, or visit our Adoption Center at 8464 Beach Blvd. during our hours of operation: Monday-Friday from 12-7pm and Saturday-Sunday from 10am-5pm and look for cats with a Staycation suitcase tag hanging from their kennel!
  2. Stop by our Front Desk and let our team know you’d like to take a cat on a Staycation.

If you have any questions about our Shelter Staycation program, please email our team at [email protected].
