Foster or Adopt from The Rescue Project
Help Abandoned, Neglected and Forgotten Animals in Kansas City and Surrounding Areas.
Fostering saves lives!
This cutie is in need of a foster. His current foster can no longer take care of him due to the long hours she works and she already has 4 cats. He is FIV positive he so would need to go to a home in Mo.
Foster parents care for injured or sick pets, moms with litters, and single babies who are too young or need training!
With the love and care that our foster parents provide, these animals receive the individual attention that they each desperately need to become truly special lifetime companions. Not only is fostering a fun and educational activity for the whole family, but our foster parents are completely enriched by their experiences.
Steps to Become a Foster Parent:
