Adoptable Kittens

We will provide all the necessary food and equipment (ie:harness, leash, bowls, collar, beds, crates, toys, etc) and NASAP pays for any medical expenses through our partner vets.
You should not be out of pocket if you foster an animal for NASAP.

We are able to provide tax receipts for any donations made toward your foster animals.

Travel will be required as a foster home; for vet appointments with our partners veterinarians, to bring the animal to events happening around Edmonton and area, and to home checks to support intake team with screening potential adopters at their home.

It is always helpful to us and the animal if our foster homes can transport their animals independently but we occasionally have volunteers who are able to help if needed.

When dogs and cats come into NASAP’s care they are screened for behavior and temperment. We screen all foster homes to ensure we place the proper animal with the proper home. We ask foster homes to allow all fosters space to decompress with the rule of 3.

NASAP fosters are either strays from our partner pounds or surrendered animals. We have trainers who will assist with specific behaviour concerns. If things are really not going well then we will always remove that animal from the foster home and find it another place more suitable.

We have vacation foster homes, pet sitters and kennels that are available for vacation or emergencies. We are completely volunteer run and encourage at least 2 weeks notice about vacations or to have an animal relocated.

Typical course for fostering a dog is 3-5 months while cats are typically 3-12 months. This allows time for the animal to decompress, receive full medical care, recover from surgery and screen adopters. All animals get homes in the end!

It is of course in the animal’s interest to stay in the one foster home until it is adopted to a permanent home.

Foster homes always have the option to adopt their foster animal. We know the dog/cat will have a wonderful home and hopefully you may even feel comfortable to continue to foster for us. If not, then it is the best way to lose a foster home!

NASAP cannot be responsible for any damage done to your property.

NASAP will provide all needed supplies for foster homes. We strongly recommend that the dog is kennelled when the family is away.

Some of the dogs you will be asked to foster will be housetrained, some may not be or if they are they may forget their training in the stress of all that has happened to them. A few accidents in the home should not come as a surprise – there are very good products now on the market which clean up dog soilage and absorb the smell.

Cats will be provided with cat trees and enrichment toys to deter damage to furniture. Litter boxes and litter will be provided to ensure proper hygeine and training will be provided to limit damage to your home.
