Looking at these beautiful kittens, all in wonderful health, one can understand why foster care is so important. Some kind people have taken it upon themselves to keep these young ones in their homes until someone else decides to adopt them. Any infant usually thrives under these conditions. Personal care, a roof over their heads and plenty of love and good food - this is what is provided by a foster parent.What does this type of compassionate person get in return? Plenty. There's a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when a little one grows into an energetic youngster full of beans! Looking after a kitten is fun, full stop. Looking after two together is hilarious as they play, collapse for their instant naps and eat in complete unison. The best moment comes when the little one actually gets a home with a loving family.
The little fatties in the pictures following were not so lucky. They are both at our Deonar Centre with their injured moms. That's not a bad thing as they can still enjoy their mother's milk which helps to build up their immune system. But they are in real danger of becoming sick, just due to the presence of hundreds of other dogs who come in for the ABC operation. It's pups like these who are in need of foster care to give them a good chance at staying alive and well and getting a good home as soon as possible. So if you have the time, some patience and the inclination, go ahead and become a foster parent. It's for a short while and it's extremely important, rewarding work.
