Kent County Animal Shelter-Foster Homes for Kittens (click for more info)
The Kent County Animal Shelter is overflowing with adorable kittens and cats needing loving foster homes! 

By fostering a kitten or cat you can help alleviate overcrowding at the shelter, help socialize and prepare our cats for adoption, and can enjoy the companionship of a pet without a long-term commitment.

Each spring, the Kent County Animal Shelter receives dozens of litters of kittens and relies on dedicated volunteers to keep the kittens happy and healthy while they prepare for adoption.

Foster opportunities are also available for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. 

More information on becoming a foster home for kittens or cats is available at accesskent dot com and searching under "animal shelter."
