SPCA Centres across New Zealand are on the lookout for more foster parents for kittens that need temporary homes while they grow big enough for adoption.

Just a spare room, bathroom, or quiet corner of your home can make all the difference.

SPCA provides everything you need, including food, supplies, and veterinary care.

Whether you can foster for a few days or a few weeks, you'll help give a vulnerable kitten the best possible start while making room for more animals needing care.

Learn more and apply at www.spca.nz/foster. 🐾💙
