About this opportunity
Lifeline offer a free and confidential fostering service for cats whose families are fleeing domestic abuse so they can rest assured their cat will be taken care of until they can be safely reunited. Referrals are handled by a specialist and experienced team, who support owners referring to the service, arrange to collect cats, and organise foster placements through a wonderful network of dedicated volunteers.
By becoming a Lifeline Foster Carer, you’ll be helping to support someone in need of a temporary home for their cat. Lifeline Scotland cover all costs so all you need to do is provide a loving home for your foster cat and send lots of photos so the Lifeline team can give their owner updates. Fostering with Lifeline is completely confidential, so you won’t know anything about the owner and they won’t know your identity either. All communication goes through the dedicated Lifeline team to maintain anonymity.
Before applying, please make sure you have no other pets (there’s no guarantee your foster cat will like the company of other cats or dogs!) and either own your own property or have written permission from your landlord/housing provider to foster cats
