spcaLA’s Foster Care: They can’t Live Without You!
spcaLA needs Foster Parents! Year round, spcaLA cares for pets of all ages that require a little extra TLC. These pets may need extra socialization, require medical care, or are too young for adoption, like bottle babies, the litters of motherless kittens that come to spcaLA during Kitten Season (the warm spring and summer months). Foster Parents help pets with special needs and prepare them for adoption into permanent loving homes.
