FOSTER
During this time we are seeking people who may be able to provide their home to foster a pet for 4 to 6 weeks if the need arises. If you feel this is something you could commit to, and could keep the foster separate from your household resident animals, please contact dogadoptions@parmashelter.org or catfosters@parmashelter.org. We would provide the foster the necessary food and basic supplies needed.

Tabitha is a sweet senior female cat that likes to be brushed. She will hiss if she’s afraid but is very sweet if she’s comfortable with you! She will let you pick her up but isn’t keen on it unless she knows you! Tabitha loves Fancy Feast pate wet food!
She also loves any kind of treats. Tabitha likes walking around the shelter checking out her surroundings! Tabitha doesn’t seem to like other cats but might be okay with a quiet dog and children . Ideally, Tabitha would prefer to be an only pet. She’s also requesting a home with a nice big window that she can look out. Fill out an application online. A meet and greet will only be scheduled once the application has been approved. (dob 4/18/2010)
Petunia is as elegant and sweet as they come. She found her way to PAS needing extra love & care so she was put into a temporary foster home. Petunia loves to be near people and to receive all the head scratches and cuddling she can get. She loves sitting in a bed next to the window to watch all nature has to offer her. At night, she will lay with you in bed to make sure you are warm & comfy. Curious, gentle and loving are just three words to describe Petunia. A quiet or low-key home would fancy Petunia. We are unsure how she would do with other cats or dogs, but slow introductions are recommended. Petunia is also available for the foster to adopt program. (dob 3/13/2019)
Laney is a very sweet and friendly beautiful gray female senior cat. She can be a little shy but will warm up to you if you spend some quiet time with her. She also likes treats so that will help! Laney is a playful cat and will follow the laser with her eyes. Laney loves being out walking around on the main floor checking out all the other cats! Laney also loves looking out the window. Laney might be okay with another cat, a quiet dog and children. She will probably be better in a quiet home with a single person, couple or family with teenage children. Fill out an application online. A meet and greet will only be scheduled once the application has been approved. (dob 3/29/2012)
