The Fayette Humane Society (FHS) has an aggressive spay/neuter program, and thanks to donations from the community and several grants from national animal welfare organizations, fixed more than 1,000 cats and dogs last year.
Nevertheless, kitten season has arrived, and rescue groups such as the FHS are overwhelmed with requests to take unwanted litters of kittens and puppies in addition to the usual stray and surrendered adult cats and dogs. There simply are not enough homes, and consequently, many healthy, adoptable cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies are being killed in animal shelters. Young kittens are especially vulnerable.
Because of this, those who can’t make the commitment to adopt a pet right now are being asked to consider becoming a temporary foster. FHS, a 501(3)(c) nonprofit animal rescue group does not have a shelter, but is always looking for foster families to care for homeless cats, dogs, kittens, or puppies until they can find them permanent, loving homes. FHS will provide food, supplies, and medical care for the animals; you provide the love.
