We hope that you plan ahead, but if you do run out of food you can always call and get more. If it is late at night, please try to feed the animal something similar to what they are already eating; if it is formula (for kittens), there is a recipe in the workbook that Read More
We ask that you wait until your kitten/puppy or your cat/dog has been fully vaccinated and in the home for more than a month.
Great! Have them call the Foster Care Program Manager or Foster Care Coordinator with their information and we will contact them. They will have to come in and fill out an application and pay the adoption fee. They must go through the same process to be approved for an adoption as any adopter.
If you are no longer able to foster, please notify the Foster Care Program Manager to be removed from our program. If you currently have a foster pet in your care, please contact the Foster Care Program Manager to make plans to return the animal (and all supplies). We require a one (1) week notice Read More
Please call the Foster Care Coordinator, the Foster Care Program Manager, or the front desk of the Pet Health Center as soon as possible. The phone number for the Pet Health Center is 516-883-2000.
Sorry, no -- only Animal League-owned animals (foster animals). However, we do have an affordable veterinarian care Pet Health Center at the Animal League. Their phone number is 516-883-2000, or you can email them at phc@AnimalLeague.org.

It depends on your time, space and the needs of the foster pets -- you can foster a whole litter of kittens ranging from 2-8 at a time, or a litter of puppies.
Sorry, no — the foster animal must come back to Animal League America if you go out of town. We can board the animal while you are away and then depending on the animal, you can foster them again once you return.
It varies! We have both short term foster opportunities that last a couple of weeks and longer term foster opportunities that last over a month or until the animal is adopted.
