koalathebear Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) A colleague can't foster dogs because of apartment size constraints but would love to foster cats. She has an existing cat so the RSPCA kitten fostering is out because that requires complete segregation - can anyone recommend a reputable cat rescue in Canberra that would not have a problem with the foster carer allowing the foster cat to hang out with an existing cat? Thanks in advance! Edited August 16, 2012 by koalathebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphra Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Contact Just Andrea from CPR. She's based in Canberra and I highly recommend Just Andrea and CPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just make sure she knows that it is a good idea to keep new foster cats seperate for a wek or two at least to let them settle and to make sure they aren't harbouring any illnesses. But its also very important to understand that many adult cats hate other adult cats, and may never be able to live harmoniously within a home with each other. Cats are very different to dogs, and sometimes no amount of patience ot careful intros will make them get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up but Just Andrea is a very experienced foster carer of cats/kittens and dogs she is after all a carer with CPR :D Maree CPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wildthing Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Just for future reference, I have been rescuing and rehoming cats in the ACT since 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
