Familiars Foster Network & Rescue

Familiars Foster Network & Rescue is a completely foster-based 501(c)3 rescue specializing in the care of neonatal kittens and pregnant or nursing cats. We hope to relieve some of the pressure from high intake animal shelters in our area by providing placement for these sensitive populations that will not thrive in a typical shelter environment. We serve southern WI and northern IL.

Additional adoption info

Familiars Foster Network & Rescue encourages an adoption process that matches pets with families through dialogue and conversation. We believe there is a sweet spot between a completely hoop-free process and a painstakingly invasive one. We do not conduct formal vet checks, landlord checks, home visits, or background checks - but instead work to communicate with and educate the potential adopter from a place of empathy and trust. This philosophy is backed by the ASPCA. Our adoption process also empowers our fosters to make the final decision on if the applicant is the best fit for their foster animal based on those conversations and interactions.
