FOSMAS is a 100% volunteer-run non-profit that provides rescue and foster care for local shelter cats and dogs.
Our primary goal is to lower the euthanasia rate at local shelters, reduce the overpopulation of homeless cats, and provide public outreach services to help the animals and staff of local shelters. We can accomplish this goal by increasing adoptions and expanding our volunteer program. We provide homes, medical and comfort care to all animals in foster care until adopted.
FOSMAS provides specialty services for care of pre-wean kittens, we train fosters in animal care and provide foster homes for rescued cats & dogs. FOSMAS provides all necessary food, supplies, and medical treatments for pets and places them in adoption centers and holds pet fairs to find forever homes for the pets in our foster system.
We partner with local pet stores, such as Petco and PetSmart and local area businesses to run pet adoption fairs and events to showcase our pets available for adoption and educate the public about our rescue group We also maintain our website and Pet Site listings to electronically showcase adoptable pets

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process includes an adoption application, interview, and interaction with the kitty. If everything goes well, we ask for an adoption fee. What the fee goes toward is de-worming, de-fleaing, age-appropriate vaccinations, tested negative for feline leukemia (and FIV if over 6 months old), spay or neuter, and micro-chipping. We require all members of the household to be present for the interaction so we can see how the kitty responds with each person and vice-versa, that there are no allergic reactions, and that all family members are on-board with the adoption and kitty selected. We do this to minimize the risk of the kitty being returned and to make sure there are no allergy issues.
Kittens.................................$125 (under 18 months)
