Foster Care

What is the Foster Care Program?

  • The Cortland County SPCA places some animals in the homes of volunteers, who take care of them temporarily. 
  • The foster care program helps to save lives, by giving a second chance to animals who need special attention and would otherwise have a hard time becoming ready for adoption. 
  • Once the animals are ready to be adopted, they are returned to the shelter.

What kind of animals can be placed in foster care?

  • Kittens and puppies, either with or without nursing moms, who are too young to be vaccinated, neutered and adopted; animals recovering from injuries or surgery; treatable sick animals who need socialization to become comfortable with humans or training to correct behavior issues, are first candidates for fostering.
  • Animals who simply need some quiet and TLC in a home environment are also candidates for foster care.

What do foster parents do?

  • Provide plenty of appropriate food and shelter in the foster parent's home.
  • Ensure basic care (grooming, training and socializing).
  • Give LOTS OF LOVE AND TENDER CARE!!! 
  • Return the animals to the shelter for vaccinations.
  • Make the animals available for adoption events (such as adoptathons).
  • Once the pet is adoptable, return the animals to the shelter or put the shelter in touch with someone who wishes to adopt them.

What does the CCSPCA provide?

  • Vaccinations for all animals.
  • Basic medical care such as injected fluids, flea and ear mite treatment, and antibiotics. 
  • Special diet food if necessary.
