Kitten season is around the corner and we need kitten fosters to handle the incoming kitties!

All new fosters that are interested in fostering underage kittens/puppies will need to attend an orientation class!

If you are interested in becoming a bottle baby foster, please email ani.foster@lacity.org to RSVP.

Once you have had orientation on feeding you can foster bottle babies. 

If the shelter has bottle babies, a feeding demonstration may take place.
