Does Your Home Have Room for a Kitten?

Have a heart for Marblehead’s furry friends, but aren’t quite ready to commit to a permanent pet?

Perhaps becoming a kitten foster parent is right for you.

The Friends of Marblehead’s Abandoned Animals is in need of foster parents to help socialize kittens. According to a post on the shelter’s website, “Once over a certain age kittens are extremely difficult to socialize. If left, they are doomed to being spayed and neutered and returned to the streets, where they desperately need to find warmth and shelter in the winter and, most importantly, food.”

The shelter has taken in a record number of kittens this year, the post continues, and foster parents are needed to ensure new arrivals can be cared for.

If you’re interested in fostering a kitten, call FOMAA at (781) 631-8664 or reach out through the organization’s website.
