After 26 years of fostering cats and kittens for Friends For Life, a foster mom and dad are retiring from fostering, down-sizing, and moving to Virginia in May. We are grateful and thankful for their service and help with rescuing cats and kittens with Friends for Line.

Unfortunately, they currently have some foster cats that cannot go with him that urgently need either adopted or a new foster home. All cats have been recently vet checked, are up to date on vaccines, micro-chipped, and flea-treated. If you have room in your heart and home for one of these fosters, or know someone who might, please contact us for more information.
