BABY BOTTLE FOSTER PROGRAM:
The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services is currently recruiting volunteers to serve as foster “parents” to under-age kittens and puppies.
The Bottle Baby Foster Program is designed to save the lives of orphaned puppies and kittens less than 8 weeks of age. Underage kittens and puppies that come into Animal Care Centers without a mother cannot be expected to survive without the help of loving foster “parents” who are willing to feed and nurture them until they are old enough to be adopted. Once the puppies and kittens are ready for adoption, they are returned to the shelters to await adoption into a new home.
What Are the Responsibilities of Foster “Parents?”
Foster “parents” will be responsible for feeding and caring for the underage puppies and kittens in their care and ensuring that they receive medical attention from the nearest Animal Care Center if necessary. Foster caregivers must be able to provide a clean safe environment for the fostered animals, as well as a lot of love and patience.
What Does the Department of Animal Services Provide?
The Department of Animal Services will provide foster “parents” with the training they need in order to properly care for their new foster kittens and puppies. The Department will also provide the foster caregivers with support people who will be available to answer any questions or concerns that may arise.
Each foster caregiver will receive:
* A Starter Kit and an on-going supply of milk replacement; * Any necessary medical care is provided by Department veterinary personnel (private veterinarian costs that the foster chooses to incur will not be reimbursed); * The opportunity to adopt puppies or kittens from the litter being fostered.
Please help us help those puppies and kittens who depend on others to keep them alive. Become a foster “parent” today!
To RSVP for the program or to receive more information, please contact Pat Ott at (323) 276-5022 or ani.fosterbabies@lacity.org.
