Both come with their own challenges but it is so rewarding to care for them and a very magical experience to see a mum and her babies grow and develop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/1626593677587-W9M7OQLL5DXWFFK9ROIO/cat-4282123_960_720.jpg Apply to foster - What kind of kittens will I care for? We have all kinds of kittens come into our care in need of foster homes. It could be a couple of young kittens, an older kitten needing some socialisation, neonates in need of bottle feeding, a mum and her bubs, or older adult cats. If you have a preference, please let us know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/1626591501704-WF37KPTCBNCTIL4RWIM6/rhfIo5hA.jpeg Apply to foster - How do I apply to become a foster carer?

Kittens can be taken directly to foster carers after rescue. This means they will probably need flea and worming treatment. Kittens need to be 500G or over if you are worming them with Milbermax or treating them with spot on flea treatments. We supply these and they can be picked up from Kingsford or can be mailed out to you. Please DO NOT purchase them from the vet as they cost up to 3 times more than the price we purchase them for online. For flea treatment kittens can have a bath in Fairy dishwashing liquid. Make sure the water is warm but not too hot and the kittens are dried well before returned to the crate. Small kittens have difficulty regulating their body temp so it’s a good idea to have a heat pack under a towel while they are still damp. Or place them under an igloo with some polar fleece inside. If the kittens are under 500G and have diarrhoea or vomiting they will require Panacur for worming. We have a supply of this at Kingsford, so please let us know if the kittens show these symptoms. If the kittens are sneezing, have nasal or eye discharge, diarrhoea, vomiting, seem listless or won’t eat, please contact us immediately as they will need to have a vet visit asap. All vet appointments must be booked or approved by Tess or Lisa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/1626594657355-KZI4HITOZ98EOWWWD5FQ/156442895_1111713209301916_8970417128822107960_n.jpg New foster carer info - Feeding kittens Kittens require special kitten food. We use Royal Canin Mother and Babycat . This is a highly nutritious food that also promotes weight gain. For kittens aged between 4-8 weeks it is important they are fed this formulated food to provide them the nutrients they desperately need in this formative stage of life. It can be watered down for very young kittens if you prefer. If your kittens are not eating on their own they may need some help. Syringe feeding can be a good way to get them started and the Kitten Lady has a great video that demonstrates how this is done. www.kittenlady.org/syringefeeding You can syringe feed watered down Babycat or Di-vetalact Cat Milk replacer (please contact Tess if you need some of this). 4 week old kittens sometimes need to be reminded to eat so it’s important to get them up and eating every 4 hrs. If they are not doing this themselves they need a reminder through the night as well. They should get the hang of it after about a week but leave lots of food out for them over night if you are not getting up to feed them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/6d786070-843d-4f9d-9c4f-549200750433/IMG_3155.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/0cb7209d-867f-4327-99be-9fb9ed9ea20f/IMG_9187.jpg New foster carer info - Carers Kit Playpen, crate or secure room: We advise all carers to start off the kittens in a playpen or crate. This makes it easier for you to toilet train, treat and socialise the kittens. We can supply a crate or playpen if needed (pick up Alexandria or Kingsford) or they can be purchased from Kmart along with bowls, litter trays and cat carriers (we can also loan these to you is necessary). Food and Litter: We are one of the few rescues who offer to provide food and litter to our carers if needed. If you are able to purchase these yourselves it would be greatly appreciated and would allow us to have more funds for Vet work, which can be substantial if kittens are sick, and ultimately be able to rescue more kittens. However, if you cannot purchase them yourself these can be provided. Scales: Every carer will need a set of kitchen scales to monitor the kittens weight. Kmart and Target stock very cheap ones that work perfectly for this scenario. F10 antiseptic veterinary disinfectant: can be picked up from us. You will need to bring an empty 500ml spray bottle to mix the solution in. https://www.urbankittens.com/foster-carer-contract daily 0.75 2023-11-05 https://www.urbankittens.com/shop daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://www.urbankittens.com/shop/p/annual-cat-calander-2026 monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/68d03ac3-6ff1-4cf6-9ec7-f113f0cbcbb5/kzdiO-3u.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 3 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - kzdiO-3u.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/03702a14-1b4c-415d-a76c-6f8791ec4cf2/CsbO1S3b.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 3 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - CsbO1S3b.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/73ce554f-0974-4fb8-aeb6-0608befd4c5f/z0GhNhVu.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 3 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - z0GhNhVu.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/31746509-8eb5-4821-8d66-afeda41348de/JGo54Vk2.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 3 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - JGo54Vk2.jpg https://www.urbankittens.com/shop/p/annual-cat-calander-2026-xyans monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/31746509-8eb5-4821-8d66-afeda41348de/JGo54Vk2.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 2 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - JGo54Vk2.jpg (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/03702a14-1b4c-415d-a76c-6f8791ec4cf2/CsbO1S3b.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 2 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - CsbO1S3b.jpg (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/73ce554f-0974-4fb8-aeb6-0608befd4c5f/z0GhNhVu.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 2 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - z0GhNhVu.jpg (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/68d03ac3-6ff1-4cf6-9ec7-f113f0cbcbb5/kzdiO-3u.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - 2 x Annual Cat Calander 2026! - kzdiO-3u.jpg (Copy) https://www.urbankittens.com/shop/p/annual-cat-calander-2026-xyans-4akrg monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/31746509-8eb5-4821-8d66-afeda41348de/JGo54Vk2.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - Annual Cat Calander 2026! - JGo54Vk2.jpg (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/03702a14-1b4c-415d-a76c-6f8791ec4cf2/CsbO1S3b.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - Annual Cat Calander 2026! - CsbO1S3b.jpg (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/73ce554f-0974-4fb8-aeb6-0608befd4c5f/z0GhNhVu.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - Annual Cat Calander 2026! - z0GhNhVu.jpg (Copy) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f271fd6385b311d93f2cf9/68d03ac3-6ff1-4cf6-9ec7-f113f0cbcbb5/kzdiO-3u.jpg Annual Cat Calendar 2026! - Annual Cat Calander 2026! - kzdiO-3u.jpg (Copy) (Copy)
