UTA students have a cat rescue, bc people dump cats on campus. They are foster based. I am no longer in Arlington, so I do not know what they currently have, but I fostered for them. They work hard to feed and vet the ferals around campus and trap the kittens. Their name is Campus Cat Coalition at UTA and their insta is @catsofuta . I am looking at their page….they may no longer take in kittens, but it’s a good start. Good luck!

Buddys cat rescue is good.

There’s a Facebook group called DFW Feral Caregivers that has over 6,000 members of people that rescue kittens and all kinds of cats that need temporary or permanent fosters. You would do the community a huge favor if you joined this group, you could help foster

Is there a reason you are going foster instead of city pound? I only ask because fosters aren't on a time crunch to find a home. Pounds are so full they are euthanizing daily. You get a fixed and vaccinated cat at a fraction of the cost.

From a buddy of mine and a personal experience a cat going from a pound to a home can have major personality changes and its the same for dogs so before getting a cat I want to know what their true personality would be like

We’ve gotten two cats from Averting Cat-astrophe. They do events at the Petco in Mansfield off 287

I saw a post yesterday by Nearby_Airline_3353 featuring 3 foster kittens, along with their names and short descriptions of each kitten's personality. Looks like they are in Plano.
