JellyJelly
Jelly is the “spokes-cat” for our Foster Program and was just 4 weeks old when this photo was taken. We are looking for dedicated, energetic, and patient foster parents to care for underage and underweight puppies and kittens, as well as animals recovering from illness or surgery and those who need help with behavioral issues. We need foster parents to provide them with a warm, friendly place to live until they can be considered for adoption. Foster parents will care for animals in their own homes on a temporary basis. Parents will feed, socialize, medicate, groom, and train foster animals according to the guidelines set forth by the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The time commitment may range from a few days to several weeks, from a few hours a day to around-the-clock care, depending upon the age and situation of each fosterling. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria will provide you with the training and supplies that you and your young charges require. You provide the tender loving care and attention these fosterlings crave. Fostering a young animal can be hard work. It can be difficult, frustrating, and sometimes heartbreaking. It also is one of the most rewarding experiences an animal lover can have. Fostering saves lives! If you are interested in becoming a foster parent for the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, please contact Foster Program Coordinator Diann Hohenthaner at 703-838-4774 x216 or dhohenthaner@alexandriaanimals.org. Jelly is now 2 years old and has been adopted into a wonderful home.

JacksonJackson
Jackson is an 8-year-old Bengal. He’s full of personality and loves being the center of attention! Jackson was brought to the shelter because he wasn’t a good match for his previous adopters. He’s now looking forward to finding a new home where he can shine! Jackson enjoys being petted, held, and cuddled. He’s also quite a talker! Since arriving at the shelter, Jackson has told us that he loves meeting new people, being lavished with attention, and spending all day luxuriating in a comfy lap. He also enjoys playing with cat toys. Jackson can become a bit overstimulated when playing, so he would do best in a home without small children.
