How You Can Help From Home
Immediate Foster Homes Needed! Come to our Cat Foster Orientation on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 from 5-7pm. Learn how you can become a volunteer hero by opening a spare room, garage or basement to foster kitties! And plan on leaving with a fabulous new feline friend! The Foster Orientation will be held here at The Seattle Humane Society. Please call us at 425-641-0080 to RSVP. This is open to anyone who has a big heart and some extra room in your home!
Foster Parent Program 
Our volunteers foster more than a thousand animals each year! The care these dedicated volunteers provide is invaluable, both to the animals and to the people who adopt them. You can foster as much or as little as you like, and we need foster homes for a wide variety of animals - kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals! Fostering is a rewarding and enriching experience, and is a great volunteer project for families or individuals who love animals but cannot commit to having a full-time animal companion.

Time commitment can range from one to eight weeks. All you need is a room (even a bathroom) and some spare time. We provide all supplies and any necessary medications. To sign up as a foster parent, simply complete this form and return it to volunteers@seattlehumane.org or mail it to the following address:
