Could you give a cat the chance to thrive, feel safe, and prepare for their forever home?

We’re seeking compassionate, responsible people like you, who:


  • Are aged 21 or over.
  • Live within 45 minutes of our Norfolk sanctuary and can transport cats for vet visits or adopter meet-and-greets. *
  • Have other pets familiar with cats and any resident cats must be up to date with vaccinations.
  • Can provide a safe, secure, and indoor environment (catios may be accepted case by case).
  • Can offer minimal leaving hours if your foster cat has dietary or medication needs.
  • Are willing to commit to fostering cats long-term, providing a stable and loving environment.
  • Understand some cats may not be suitable for homes with young children.

**We will consider applicants who live further but are still willing to travel to the sanctuary for appointments.


Foster Carer Responsibilities:


  • Daily Care: Feed, groom, socialise, and provide a safe, loving environment for your foster cat under guidance from your foster coordinator.
  • Appointments: You will bring your cats to the sanctuary for vet visits or adopter meet-and-greets; urgent visits may be needed if a cat becomes unwell.
  • Stay Connected: You will keep in touch with your foster coordinator, providing updates, photos, and completing assessments.
  • Follow Their Plan: Each cat has a tailored care program—by following it, you give your foster cat the best chance of success.
  • Adoption: If you decide to adopt your foster cat, let us know early so we can complete checks and paperwork smoothly.


This is a voluntary role.


Fostering gives a cat a calm and loving home where their unique personality can bloom, helping future adopters discover the purr-sonality they’ll fall in love with. ❤️
