The cat with her children to breastfeed

Fostering a mom cat with kittens is a very exciting and rewarding job. You will get to see
intimately how a mom cat cares for her kittens, and the stages of development in their
relationship. The foster home’s job is to be the supportive foster parent, providing a calm,
safe, nurturing environment. Instinct tells mom cats to keep their kittens safe, and in
order to feel safe, they need privacy, quiet, and minimal activity. Stress can cause cats to
become aggressive, and to not take care of their babies properly, and in some instances
even causes extreme behaviors such as cannibalism. Your role is to give the mom cat the
type of environment where she can feel comfortable raising her young.
