Volunteer | Animal Allies

Animal Allies in northern Virginia is always looking for fosters!

We need foster homes for adult cats and kittens in the Woodbridge and Alexandria areas so we can rescue as many kitties as possible off the streets and find them forever families. We assist our fosters with supplies and guidance while you help feed and love them! Most kitties are adopted within several months, and we can support your travel needs and schedule limits.

If you would like to help us with fundraising, social media, marketing, foster coordination, trapping, or other activities please fill out the form on the Contact Us page and let us know what you would like to assist with!

Fill out the foster application below if you would like to foster cats/kittens until they can be adopted by someone else.

If you would like to try fostering to adopt a kitty, please fill out our adoption application instead.

Please keep in mind that some foster situations require time and coordination before we can place them in your home. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
