❤️💛Foster Homes Needed: Save a Cat’s Life Today!

Caring About The Strays is in URGENT need of loving foster homes for cats and kittens! Every foster home gives a cat a second chance at life 🙏 By temporarily opening your home, you’re helping cats in need while they wait for their forever family🏠

Fostering is simple and incredibly rewarding. You supply a safe space, while we take care of ALL medical expenses and will supply litter and food. Fostering can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the cat’s situation🐈

Cats of all ages, from playful kittens to loving adult cats, are waiting for a temporary home. We’ll match you with a foster that fits your lifestyle, whether you’re looking for a quiet companion or an active kitty. Plus, no experience is required—our team provides all the support and training you’ll need!

By fostering, you are DIRECTLY saving lives. Without foster homes, many cats would face uncertain futures. 

Are you ready to make a difference?!? 

Apply here and someone will be in contact shortly

Our Mission

Since our founding in 1995 by Lynn Cancro, Caring About The Strays (C.A.T.S.) has worked to find “forever homes” for abandoned, unwanted, neglected, or abused companion animals in the Pascack Valley area. All the animals in our care are in foster homes, which helps socialize the cat or dog and allows us to identify the best type of home for each animal to ensure a successful adoption. We also work to reduce the overpopulation of feral cats with our Trap-Neuter-Release program. In addition, our team also strives to educate the public about the importance of spaying or neutering their pets to decrease the number of unwanted pets.
