Fosters Needed

Fosters families are desperately needed for homeless cats and kittens! Foster families provide much-needed shelter and care for these wonderful felines until they find their "forever" home - and we cannot rescue them without this "temporary housing". We have both adult cats and kittens, long-term and short-term fostering available.
Fosters are reponsible for caring for the animals, coordinating transportation with an FCF member for vet appointments and adoption events and helping with photo shoots and personality write ups for our website and Facebook pages. FCF can provide any needed equipment (cages, litter boxes, etc), medication, and vaccines.
FCF provides the medical care - you provide the love. If you can help, please call our hotline at (925) 829-9098.

If You Find Kittens

It is very important to assess the age of kittens BEFORE handling them. If you pick up a kitten that still has it's eyes closed, chances are the mother will reject the kitten. Babies this young have a very slim chance of surviving with bottle feeding. On the other hand, waiting until a kitten is 6 months old to attempt socialization is also asking for disaster. Here is a guide to age and appropriate action.

Cat of the Week

Noche

Little Queen of the household! This is a kitty for all seasons! Noche is particularly fond of our fierce-looking- but oh-so-sweet!- 97-lb pitbull, Guy. In fact, there isn't anyone in the house who doesn't just love Noche, and she, them! She plays with the oldest and grouchiest cats... Who can resist that sweet disposition! So because of her wonderful, congenial attitude, she needs to be adopted into a home with at least another cat. She loves her humans and likes to sleep under the covers, loves her laptime when you're busy on the computer of watching TV- but she also needs that feline interaction. If you are interested in our wonderful Noche, please email with some info about yourself and your household. We'll get back to you asap and make a date for you to meet her! Call 510-635-7680 or email Tutta2@aol.com. .
