Foster Kittens in Asheville, NC — Save a Life from the Comfort of Your Home

Looking to make a direct, life-saving difference for animals in need? Fostering kittens with Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance is one of the most impactful ways to help. By opening your home to a kitten in need — whether for a few days or a few weeks — you’re giving them the time, care, and love they need to survive and thrive.

We specialize in newborn and medically fragile kitten rescue across Asheville and Western North Carolina, and we depend on a network of dedicated foster families to care for kittens too young or vulnerable to stay in a shelter.

What Kinds of Animals Need Foster Care?

At Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance, we focus on saving the tiniest, most vulnerable kittens — the ones most shelters aren’t equipped to handle. Our foster program supports a wide range of animals, and we match each foster home with kittens based on their comfort level, experience, and availability.

You’ll help save the most at-risk kittens!
Fostering helps kittens grow strong, social, and ready for adoption
