Foster a Cat

Many of KARE’s cats are recovering from injury, illness, or trauma. A foster home gives them the quiet, individual care that a rescue environment can’t always provide.

What fostering involves

A calm indoor space for the cat to recover and socialise
Daily feeding, litter care, and gentle interaction
Monitoring health and reporting back to KARE
Attending vet visits when arranged by KARE

What KARE provides

All food, litter, medication, and vet fees
Complete medical history of the cat
24/7 support from our volunteer team
We handle finding the permanent home

Cats with special needs — blind, three-legged, or chronically ill — especially benefit from foster care. Your home could be their turning point.

Six Reasons to Open Your Home as a foster family

Fostering is the most flexible way to save a life. No permanent commitment — just a safe space, some patience, and a lot of love. KARE provides everything else. Your home becomes a bridge between crisis and forever.

It's Temporary — But Life-Changing

No lifelong commitment. Fostering lasts weeks to months, but the impact on that animal is permanent. You can foster one cat, then another. Each time, you save a life.

You Fill the Most Critical Gap

KARE can only rescue animals if foster homes are available. Without fosters, rescue stops entirely. You are not just helping — you are the linchpin of the entire system.

It Costs You Almost Nothing

KARE covers all food, litter, medical care, and supplies. You provide a quiet room, patience, and love. The financial barrier is essentially zero — the emotional return is immeasurable.

Special Needs Cats Can Only Heal at Home

Post-surgery, senior, and medically fragile cats cannot recover in a shelter. Your home is their medicine — the quiet, routine, and warmth they need to survive and then thrive.

You Might Just Keep Them

The "foster fail" — adopting your foster cat — is one of the most common and beautiful outcomes in rescue. No obligation, no pressure. But don't be surprised when they choose you.

Every Foster Multiplies

Each cat you foster and place in a permanent home creates space for KARE to rescue the next one in danger. Your commitment doesn't just save one life — it starts a chain of them.

"Without foster families, rescue is impossible. Every cat we take off Kuwait's streets needs a home to go to — and that home is yours."

— KARE Kuwait, Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation, Since 2013
