help save the littlest liveS

Kitty of Angels is a foster-based kitten rescue serving Los Angeles. Because we don’t have a facility, every kitten we save begins and ends their adoption journey in the home of a caring foster volunteer.

Most of the kittens we rescue are too young, too small, or too vulnerable to thrive in a shelter environment. Foster homes give them the chance to grow, heal, and prepare for adoption in the safety and comfort of a loving home.
Every foster home allows us to save another life.

As a foster volunteer, you’ll watch shy and frightened kittens become confident, tiny bottle babies grow into playful explorers, and sick kittens blossom into healthy family members.

You don’t need previous experience - just compassion, patience, and a willingness to help. Whether you’re able to foster for a few weeks or a few months, opening your home truly saves lives. You provide the love. We’ll provide the support.

WHAT kinds of kittens YOU can FOSTER

Kitty of Angels specializes in rescuing kittens, so nearly all of our foster opportunities involve kittens of different ages and needs.
​
Depending on your experience and comfort level, you may foster:
  • Bottle babies (training and support provided)
  • Weaned kittens (single kittens or a litter)
  • Teenage kittens/young adults waiting for adoption
Occasionally, we also have adult cats (or moms and babies) who need foster homes, but the vast majority of our foster placements are kittens.  We’ll work with you to find the kitten stage that’s a good fit for your home, schedule, and experience.
​

WHAT KITTY OF ANGELS SUPPLIES

Our goal is to make fostering as rewarding and stress-free as possible.
​
We provide:
  • Veterinary care
  • Vaccinations
  • Spay/neuter surgery
  • Approved medical treatment and medications
  • Guidance and support from our volunteer team
  • Foster education and resources
  • Supplies (when available)
  • Adoption marketing and applicant screening
  • Adoption events throughout Los Angeles

​You’ll never be expected to figure things out on your own. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
​

WHAT WE ASK OF OUR FOSTERS

Fostering is incredibly rewarding, but it also requires communication, flexibility, and teamwork.  As a foster parent, you’ll typically:
Provide a safe, indoor home.
Feed and care for your foster kitten(s) daily.
Keep us updated on how they’re doing.
Bring them to scheduled medical appts.
Take photos to help them get adopted.
Attend occasional adoption events.
TRAVEL EXPECTATIONS
Because Kitty of Angels is a foster-based rescue without a central facility, some travel is part of fostering. Our most common locations include:
  • Santa Monica for vet appointments, vaccine clinics, medication pickup, and supply pickup.
  • Burbank for vet appointments and spay/neuter surgeries.
  • Adoption events held throughout the Los Angeles area.

We’ll always communicate appointments in advance and do our best to work with your schedule.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Kitty of Angels is powered by volunteers, and our foster families are the heart of our rescue. We’re looking for people who enjoy working as part of a team, communicate regularly, and are excited to help kittens grow into healthy, happy cats ready for adoption. If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you!

HOW LONG WILL I FOSTER?
Every kitten is different. Some are adopted within a few weeks, while others may stay in foster care for several months. We do ask that you foster until your kittens are adopted. If you need to go out of town during the time, we can find a temporary foster replacement.
DO I NEED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE?
Not at all! Many of our foster volunteers are first-time fosters. We’ll provide guidance and support throughout your foster journey.
​
who pays for veterinary care?
Kitty of Angels covers expenses at our approved vets for all foster animals in our care.
WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE PETS?
Many of our foster families have pets of their own. We’ll help determine whether a foster placement is a good fit for your household.
CAN I CHOOSE WHAT I FOSTER?
Absolutely. We’ll discuss your experience, schedule, home environment, and comfort level before matching you with kittens.

Answer to question 5

NOT SURE WE'RE THE RIGHT FIT?

Our mission isn’t simply to find fosters for Kitty of Angels. It’s to find more foster homes for cats and kittens generally. Because we specialize primarily in kittens, and because many of our foster-related vaccine appointments and supply pick ups are located on Westside of Los Angeles, we may not be the best fit for everyone. If another rescue or shelter is closer to home or better matches the type of cats you’d like to foster, we wholeheartedly encourage you to foster with them instead.  Every foster home saves lives - no matter which rescue it’s with.
