Welcome to RU4Me Pet Rescue!|
Join Us For Kitten Season!! 
The month of May here in South Florida may bring the warmer weather, but springtime is just the start of a kind of deluge - the annual flood of abandoned kittens and puppies. Each spring rescuer struggle to cope with an enormous influx of tiny babies who have been orphaned. This kitten and puppy monsoon is, of course, in addition to the huge numbers of adult animals always in need of new homes. The unsung heroes in the battle to save these endangered pets are the volunteer foster parents! Becoming a foster parent can be rigorous, but it is always rewarding! Foster parents take animals into their homes on a temporary basis, and care for them as if they were their own pets until they can be adopted to new homes. At the least, this involves feeding, cleaning, grooming, and playing with the animals. Some rescues are special needs and require extra care. They may sick, stressed, or frightened. A frightened or abused animal may require weeks of extra attention and behavioral modification to become ready for adoption.
Unweaned orphaned kittens and puppies, affectionately known as "bottle babies", require the most work of all! As with human infants, around the clock bottle feeding of special formula is required, as frequently as every 2-3 hours for newborns. Most challenging of all, orphans are more likely to get sick because they aren't getting the antibodies normally passed on in mom's milk.
 Fostering is challenging but it's also fun (watch your babies toddle, wrestle, flip, and grow chubby) and satisfying. If you love animals, and have a little space and some time to open your heart to a foster animal, you will find it immeasurably rewarding. If you'd like to talk about becoming a foster parent email us at ru4mepetrescue@yahoo.com . We will have an experienced foster call you to answer all your questions. We will provide training, coaching, and pay for all medical costs! We have all ages, breeds, and personalities of cats and dogs which need your help. JOIN US AND SAVE LIVES!!! |
