Our foster and adoption process is looking very different these days. We require fosters to promptly respond to potential inquiries and schedule phone/video meetings with potential adopters quickly. We also require fosters to take pictures/videos and write descriptions of their foster cats as quickly as possible in order to facilitate the search for their forever home.
If I am accepted to foster a cat, I will follow guidelines and promptly upload pictures and bio to the google drive according to established procedure. *

I understand that I am fostering animals on behalf of Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition. I will therefore not surrender any animal for the purposes of foster or adoption unless under the explicit direction of Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition staff (initial to confirm). *
