FOSTERS

“My husband and I adopted two kittens from the SPCA in July 2017- a year later, they were large, full-grown cats. I missed the adorableness of kittens,

so we decided fostering would be a good way to scratch that itch, and we haven ’t looked back since. We ’ ve just reached 100 kittens and mama cats

that have come through our household. The time spent interacting and watching these kittens grow is worth every low point that we ’ ve experienced.

We know how much our own cats changed our lives for the better- knowing that every single foster coming through will do the same to another

household makes every second worth it!”

She Just Knew

In February 2021, we rescued a sweet mama and both of her three-week-old, five-pound puppies from Houston, Texas. Little did we know that Hera, the mama, would steal not only our hearts but her adopter ’ s as well. Hera was the definition of a “ mama bear ” when she came to our shelter with her itty bitty babies. She struggled being around so many other dogs at the shelter while she was raising them, so she was sent into a foster home until her babies, Vega and Ares, were weaned.

When Hera returned to our shelter, she started to decline and had to be put on anti-anxiety medication to help her feel more at ease. Soon after, Hera was adopted, but she was brought back to our shelter a month later. Our staff continued to help her adjust to living in a shelter. They took her on outings to help with her anxiety and found out just how loving and silly she is once she feels safe. In December, Tammy and Daniel came to the SPCA to meet Hera after seeing a video about her on our Facebook page. There was an instant connection! Tammy said Hera just knew to be gentle with her from the second they met. Now, Hera is settled in and loving life in a home!

“It’ s like she ’ s lived here all of her life. ” Tammy said
