Purrfect Gifts for kitten foster Parents
Looking to get something for a friend or family member who fosters kittens? Here are some of Kitten Lady’s favorite things that make great gifts for kitten foster parents!
This is a foster kitten FAVORITE! It’s crinkly, massive, and fun to run through and sleep inside. Bonus: it’s easy to clean and sanitize!
Poopy kitten butts need lots of baby wipes, so a wipe warmer is a perfect gift for a foster parent!
No kitten can resist a wand toy, and this is one of the simplest but most popular toys of all!
Adorable handmade cat toys made by a kitten foster parent in California. These are super popular with my kittens and partial proceeds support rescues!
One of the most powerful reminders of the lives a foster parent has saved is to keep a photo collection of each kitten fostered. This pocket-sized printer allows you to print high-quality images straight from your phone, which you can add to a foster photo wall or scrapbook!
Every foster parent should have a copy of this 300+ page guide to kitten care!
An undeniable favorite of kittens! This is my preferred ball chaser, as some others have a hole at the top that can be dangerous for curious kittens’ heads. This one is safe and they love it!
If you’re looking for a practical, no-nonsense gift, look no further! Rescue wipes are the perfect way to sanitize fostering supplies so that kittens can stay healthy and safe.
Kittens are obsessed with these! These are a tried-and-true favorite, so why not get a whole box of them?
Isn’t this the cutest tower ever?! This is perfect for teaching kittens to climb, scratch, and perch — and it makes for adorable photos!
Fostering is all about keeping your space clean and sanitized. A steam cleaner is hugely helpful in the disinfecting process!
Just trust me — your kittens will love these squishy, fluffy cat beds. I recommend using these only with kittens 4+ weeks of age (smaller kittens may get lost in the squishy folds)
These are the perfect size for little kittens who are learning to scratch! Kittens love to climb on top and even use the flower as a step to get to a higher place.
The most popular kitten treat ever! These are perfect for incentivizing kittens to take medications, helping shy kittens come out of their shell, or just bonding with a kitten.
How to Take Awesome Photos of Cats, $18
This is a must-have book for foster parents, and will help them improve their adoption photos!
A personal favorite of mine, this cat tree is absolutely stunning! This is best used with resident cats and healthy, post-quarantine foster kittens.
Interactive butterfly toy, $20
You will get such a kick out of watching kittens play with this battery-operated butterfly! Just push the button and they will entertain themselves, trying to chase and hunt.
Dry erase boards are a great way to keep organized, track kitten weights, write down important dates, and more.
These are the cutest! Kittens love to scratch, climb, and sit on top of these tiny scratch posts, which are perfectly sized for little felines.
Miracle nipple mini - 10 pack, $44
Every bottle baby foster parent will benefit from having these nipple attachments, which make bottle feeding safer and easier than ever.
Foster parents go through lots of baby blankets, and these soft, long-lasting blankets are my favorite!
Every kitten needs a hideaway bed, so why not get a really cute one?
Every foster parent must weigh their kittens daily, and a gram scale is the most accurate way to do it! Pair with a small plastic storage bin to easily contain the kitten during weighing!
By far the easiest way to dispose of cat waste, stop cat litter smell, and keep your litter boxes clean and neat! The XL is my favorite and is what I use with my little ones.
This enamel pin designed by Megan Lynn Kott is a great conversation starter for foster parents, and proceeds support Kitten Lady’s humane education efforts.
