SPCA seeking foster home help

The local SPCA is on the lookout for foster carers to look after cats and dogs.

New shelter manager Ruth Sandiford Phelan says fostering is all about contact with animals and giving them a bit of love they deserve.

"Those animals that have been fostered have a better likelihood of finding a home. The shelter is continuing to be a good resource but foster care is more about contact with the animals.

"Sometimes the cats are a bit wild and they need someone to tame them before they can be re-homed. Dogs that have been mistreated need contact to help them recover and young animals need extra time spent on them for extra feeding and care."
