Second only to finding a permanent home for each and every cat in the program, fostering is one of the most important aspects of Abbey Cat Adoptions. We do not have a shelter and rely exclusively on volunteer foster homes to care for our cats while they await placement in permanent homes. Every time a new foster place is created through adoption or the recruitment of a new volunteer foster parent, a cat or kitten can be rescued from being euthanized or dying of exposure.

From special needs cats who need to spend a few months with experienced cat owners to healthy well socialized cats who just need an emergency stopover while their adoption is being arranged, ACA needs foster homes for every imaginable situation.

We try to place cats in foster homes most appropriate for their age, temperament and circumstances so we ask that all potential foster parents fill out a questionnaire.


To speed up the process, fill out an online application before or after you place your call to the main line.                                                                                                                                           Thank you!
