Volunteer Animal Fosterer - RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch
Could you open your home to an animal who needs a little extra time, care and love?
Not every animal is ready to go straight into their forever home. Some need somewhere quiet and comfortable while they recover from illness or treatment. Others need time to grow in confidence, experience life in a home environment or simply have someone give them the attention and reassurance they need.
That's where our fosterers come in.
By opening your home temporarily to a cat, rabbit, guinea pig or another small animal, you can give them something incredibly valuable - a safe place to settle, recover and be themselves while we find their forever home. You could be the person who helps a nervous cat discover that people can be trusted, gives a rabbit the chance to experience life in a loving home, or helps us understand exactly what an animal needs from their future family. And when the time comes for them to move on, you'll know that you played an important part in getting them there.
You won't be doing it alone Our fosterers are part of our wider animal welfare team. We'll get to know you, your home and your experience, and we'll support you throughout the placement.
We'll provide:
Fostering training and an induction.
Food and equipment needed for your foster animal.
Veterinary care.
Ongoing advice and support from our animal welfare team.
Reimbursement of other expenses agreed with us in advance.
You'll always be able to talk to someone if you have a question or are unsure about something.
What does fostering involve?
Every foster animal is different, so no two placements will be exactly the same. Depending on the animal, you might:
Give them a safe, comfortable and appropriate space in your home.
Provide food, fresh water and grooming as needed.
Spend time helping them feel safe, settled and comfortable.
Give them plenty of appropriate play, enrichment and, when they're ready, affection and cuddles.
Keep an eye on their behaviour and wellbeing and let our team know how they're getting on.
Give medication or support rehabilitation where needed.
Take them to routine or emergency veterinary appointments.
Tell us about their personality, likes, dislikes and the progress they're making.
Help us find the right forever home by sharing what you've learnt about them.
You don't need to be an animal behaviour expert. What matters most is patience, commitment and a willingness to learn.
Could you be a fosterer?
Fostering could be a great fit if:
You're aged 18 or over and have good experience of caring for animals.
Everyone in your household is happy to welcome a foster animal into your home.
You have enough time to give an animal the care and attention they need.
You're patient and able to adapt if their needs change.
You live within the area covered by our Branch, as shown on the accompanying map.
You're able to collect supplies from our offices.
You can transport your foster animal to veterinary appointments, including urgent appointments if needed.
Any animals already living in your home have been spayed or neutered. If this isn't possible for medical reasons, please talk to us - we can discuss your circumstances.
You don't need previous fostering experience. If you have the right experience with animals and are willing to learn, we'll provide the training and support you need.
What will you get from fostering?
Fostering can be incredibly rewarding.
You'll:
Make a direct difference to an animal who needs your help.
Give an animal the chance to feel safe and relaxed in a home environment.
Help an animal recover, build confidence or prepare for adoption.
Get to know an animal's individual personality and help us find the right forever home for them.
Develop your animal-care knowledge and practical skills.
Receive training and ongoing support from our team.
Become part of our community of staff and volunteers.
Gain valuable volunteering experience.
And, of course, you'll get to enjoy the company of your foster animal - without making the lifelong commitment that comes with adoption.
Finding the right foster animal for you
We don't expect you to foster every animal who needs a home.
Every animal is different, and we'll take the time to understand your home, your experience, your availability and the types of animals you're comfortable caring for. We'll then look for a foster placement that's a good match for both you and the animal. You'll have the opportunity to talk to us about each potential placement before you agree to take an animal. If a particular animal isn't right for you, that's absolutely fine. We want fostering to work well for everyone.
Could you give an animal a temporary home? If you've ever thought about helping an animal but adoption isn't right for you, fostering could be the perfect way to make a difference. You could give an animal the time, patience and care they need today - and help them take their next step towards a happy life in their forever home.
We'd love to hear from you.
All our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and an initial trial period. We'll ask you to provide details of two referees. Depending on the role and the animals you foster, you may also need to complete specific training and sign a volunteer agreement before you begin.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
