Become a Foster


An Important Update: FOSTERING during KITTEN SEASON
Kitten season is here, and we URGENTLY need fosters for moms with kittens, pregnant moms, litters of kittens and neonatal babies. Neonatal kittens are newborn to 4 weeks of age, and caring for them can be rewarding, but also a 24-hour job. There is a reason that they are known as “Bottle Babies”, since they must be fed every 2 – 6 hours depending on their age. They must also be kept warm and dry, and this level of care takes enormous dedication.
If you love kittens and have time, patience and compassion please consider fostering. You will receive instruction, continuing support and be provided with all supplies. You may be asked to take them to the vet, but their veterinary care is paid by our generous donors.
If you have questions or can foster this kitten season. please text or call 480-287-3542 or email us ASAP at Rescue@AnthemPets.org. Consider joining our Volunteer & Foster Facebook Group to see our real time foster needs. Thank you!
* Now, more about FOSTERING! *
Can you love and nurture a pet until we find it a forever home? Fosters, along with Volunteers, are the reason why our rescue has been able to save thousands of pets since 2005.
Foster families provide temporary care for adult cats, kittens, adult dogs and puppies. Some animals need as little as a day or two in your home, while others may need care for an extended period of time. Your help as a foster is essential to our success. By offering your time, love, energy and home to an animal in need, you will save their life and prepare them for adoption into a permanent home. Anthem Pets does not have a facility and we rely on foster families to care for animals that enter our system. We are always looking for more foster homes – our demand is growing every day! Check out our helpful Foster FAQs below and read more at our Anthem Pets Foster Heros page.
If you would like to join this group of animal lovers or if you need more information, please contact us in one of these ways: send us an email at Rescue@AnthemPets.org, text 480-287-3542 or fill out a Foster Application.
A great resource is our private Facebook group, Anthem Pets Volunteers & Fosters where you can keep up with our rescue efforts. If you see a pet you want to foster comment on the Facebook post or send a direct message to the group.
