Thank you for deciding to become a foster home for cats and choosing our charity.

Cats Help is a charity formed by volunteers to help mostly cats, but also other abandoned pets. We have been helping animals all over Estonia since 2019. Our rescued cats live mostly in foster homes and we opened our cat room in autumn 2021 in the Nõmme district in Tallinn. Our mission is to help rescue abandoned animals from the streets, medically treat them if necessary and eventually re-home them. We also neuter, microchip and socialize them before sending them to their new homes.

As a new foster home, you will be assigned a mentor who will initially support and help you.

We also have a guide for foster homes with all the information you might need.

Most of our communication takes place in the Discord app, where there are several channels for foster homes to use. You can use Discord to communicate with other volunteers and foster homes. This means that a foster home is never alone with any problems and issues that may arise.

As a foster home you are entitled to receive the supplies that the cat will need such as food, litter and other essentials. During the fostering experience, if you are able to provide food and litter to the cat(s) from time to time, we greatly appreciate the help and consider this as a valuable donation. This is definitely not a prerequisite for becoming a foster home. If you DO decide to buy your own food and/or litter, your mentor can advise you on what are the best places to purchase quality food and litter for the cheapest prices.

If you don’t own a car, we can assist you with transport in case you need to visit the cat room to pick up the supplies or take a cat to a clinic. Again, if you are able to find your own transport or get a taxi, you are also more than welcome to do that.

In order to get an overview of what exactly your capabilities and needs are, we kindly ask you to fill in the below form.

Our volunteers will contact you via e-mail once they receive a filled-in questionnaire.
