I wanted to add a note to my foster application. I am currently fostering a young cat that showed up at my house several weeks ago, who appears to have been dumped. I have been feeding him twice daily and have made a comfy and protected home for him below our deck where he has been safely residing until I am able to get him to come inside. I’m very pleased to report that he is growing and thriving! I have been working with one of your volunteers, Claire, to get him set up for shots and neutering. Thank you for all you do – you are a wonderful organization and I appreciate all the assistance that Claire and Bianca have provided me in this situation!
