    Not sure which side of Dublin you are on but Drogheda Animal Rescue are always looking for fosterers.
    Their website is http://www.dar.ie/index.php?page=home and the email is cats@dar.ie

    It's so rewarding and great fun.

    The DSPCA generally don't foster out cats / kittens. I'd recommend getting in touch with Cats Aid or Kitten Adoption - both Dublin based both long established with good back up available to their fosterers. Google both of them & have a look & see what you think ;) I've been fostering kitties for 4 years now & really enjoy it

    Hey, the DSPCA foster any kittens they get that are under 9 weeks old. They can't get their injections until then, details on the website.

    Tough work, but good fun. And good for the kittens.

    Kitten season must be very close to ending, if it hasnt already.
    Goodluck with the search.

    Thanks everybody for your suggestion. I have emailed cats aid and dspca. Hopefully they email me back.

    I would love to look after the kittens. I already have 2 cats at home so looking after them is not a problem.

    I have found that it is vets that usually are glad of volunters. My local vets are always been handed in cats, kittens and dogs. Why not give ur vet a ring they will prob be glad of ur help.
