Short term pet foster carer
Blue Cross is looking for committed people who can offer short term care to needy pets in their own homes.
Would you like a pet but are not in a position to give long term commitment?
Do you have a spare room you could offer a needy cat or time to devote to cheering up an unhappy dog?
What you will be doing:

- You may also offer to foster pregnant females or mums and litters
- You will be providing all the care they need – feeding, exercising, cleaning, socialising, giving medication and grooming
- Keep accurate records
What we are looking for:
- Experience of handling and caring for pets
- You need to live within 45 minutes of the centre and have use of suitable transport
- A spare room if fostering cats, a garden is beneficial if fostering dogs
- Preferably no other pets
- Willingness to learn and follow Blue Cross procedures
- Competent, flexible and self motivated
Benefits to you:
- You’ll be helping pets to have happy, healthy lives
- Enjoy all the joys of pet ownership without long term commitment and cost
