Skittles's Story
Type of Foster Home:
Skittles is a 14-year-old senior male orange Tabby cat that is looking for a foster break. Skittles would do best separated from other cats or introduced slowly to any resident pets. He needs a quiet, safe space to come out of his shell.
How to Foster Skittles:
New fosters can take the first step by learning about fostering and completing the Foster Care Application. Veteran foster parents can email acfoster@pawschicago.org to schedule a pickup appointment.
Skittles is available for foster pick-up through our Medical Center at 3516 W. 26th St.
Why Foster?
There are many animals that need us today. Each foster family allow us to save more homeless pets by opening their home to a pet or litter in need of love and care for a few weeks. When we are able to send a pet or litter to foster, it frees up space in our Medical Center to bring in more pets in need.
Last year, our foster families took in 3,467 pets. Some needed a peaceful place to recover from illness or injury. Puppies and kittens just needed a bit of time in a home environment with good socialization so they could grow big enough to have their spay/neuter surgery before adoption. Other pets needed a calm and relaxing break from the stress of shelter life.
Consider joining them in lifesaving. Sign up to become a foster today.
