LOW TZE YANMessage:
Hi Dr Chan,Am wondering if anyone could help? Someone abandoned 2 kittens just
outside my condo’s rubbish area last night in a cardboard box. My
condo does not allow for pets. I have tried to feed them with milk but
they are not responding. Their eyes are open, and can walk a little.
Might you be able to advise if there is someone who might be able to
help them? I can foot some costs if needed.Rgds
Low
I remember the contact of a kitten fosterer so I gave Mr Low her contact details. We were lucky, the fosterer replied to say she would be able to take in these 2 kittens but would now be full until next year.
So, arrangements were made.
And at 9.30pm:
Dear Dr Chan,FYI below and attached. Hope it works out. Thank for your help too.RgdsLow
We wish to thank the fosterer very much for responding and Mr Low for doing his part in rescuing the kittens and seeing to their safety. All’s well that ends well.If you can help to foster kittens/puppies and would like to offer your services, please do write to me at chankahyein@gmail.com. We definitely need a pool of kitten/puppy fosterers. It is perfectly alright for you to state your terms and conditions as that would only be fair. We will make the connection and the requester and fosterer can then work out an agreeable arrangement. All we ask is that both sides honour the agreement and keep to their word, whether it concerns costs to be covered, duration of fostering or other related matters.
Most fosterers are afraid to offer their services because of the fear of dumping. This fear can be alleviated if everyone would just keep to his or her word.

i had 8 cats. my 1st intention was to put 6 of them for adoption. but i grown attached with each n everyone i had saved so far. i guess i never can be a fosterer.
and im a bit frustrated bcos i know i can save lots of strays if im strong enough to let them go :'(
I’m sure some of us here share the same sentiments, Masni. You are definitely not alone. While a fosterer does a very good deed, an adopter (like you) likewise also does a great deed! Each one has a role to play.
