Hello world. If you’re in the San Francisco area and want to be our neonate kitten foster mom we’d love to lend you our incubator.

It makes the first few days of life soooo much easier for both kitten and human.

We are actively recruiting foster parents and forever homes.

Feel free to email us if you’re interested in being foster/forever home. Thanks!

Foster-to-Adopt Opportunity: Meet Cosmos & His Sibling – Tiny Purrs, Big Love!

Are you ready to open your heart and home to the most rewarding journey of kittenhood? We are searching for a very special "foster-to-adopt" family for Cosmos, a precious 3-week-old little boy, and one of his equally adorable siblings!

At just 3 weeks old, Cosmos and his five littermates are at a critical stage, needing intensive, round-the-clock care. They are currently being bottle-fed and kept warm on a heating pad, and rely on their human caregivers for stimulation to help them thrive. While they can't be safely held for long cuddles just yet, these tiny babies are already showing their desire for connection with tiny purrs and the exciting new adventure of learning how to walk!

What "Foster-to-Adopt" Means:
This unique opportunity allows you to foster Cosmos and one of his siblings in your home, providing them with the nurturing environment they need to grow, socialize, and become healthy, adoptable kittens. Once they reach approximately 8-10 weeks old (and a minimum of 2 lbs), are fully weaned, and have received their first vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery, the adoption will be finalized. You get to be their loving foster parent AND their forever family!

What Cosmos and His Sibling Need From You:

Dedicated Care: Someone who is prepared for frequent bottle-feedings (every 2-4 hours, including overnight), keeping them warm, and providing necessary stimulation.

Nurturing Love & Attention: A patient and compassionate individual or family committed to showering these babies with the affection they need to develop into well-adjusted, confident cats.

A Promise for Life: The desire to watch these tiny purr machines grow and flourish, with the lifelong commitment to providing a safe, loving, and permanent home.

Veterinary Partnership: Willingness to bring them to scheduled vet appointments for vaccinations, deworming, and their spay/neuter surgeries when they are old enough.

A Bonded Pair:
Cosmos will be adopted with one of his siblings. They are learning about the world together and draw comfort and companionship from each other, making them perfect candidates for a home looking for double the love!

Health & Future:
Cosmos and his siblings currently have no known health issues, a great start for these little fighters. They will receive all necessary vaccinations and their spay/neuter surgery once they reach the appropriate age and weight, all coordinated through the rescue.

If you have experience with young kittens, the time and dedication to provide intensive care, and the biggest heart to commit to two adorable felines for their entire lives, then Cosmos and his sibling are waiting for you!

The Backyard Sanctuary is based in SF - and we accept donations! Thanks!
