Open Your Home. Save a Life.
As a 100% foster-based rescue, our ability to save cats is directly tied to the number of foster homes we have. We coordinate authorized veterinary care and provide support — you provide the love.
Foster a Cat in SCCCP Care
Fostering means welcoming a cat already accepted into South Carolina Community Cat Project into your home temporarily. You provide a safe, indoor environment and daily care while we coordinate veterinary treatment, supplies, and adoption. Every foster home opens a spot for us to rescue another cat.

Every Foster Saves Lives
When you take a cat in, you open a spot for us to rescue another cat from an overcrowded shelter or dangerous street situation.

A note on supplies and veterinary care: South Carolina Community Cat Project is a foster-based rescue, not a veterinary provider. Veterinary services are performed by licensed veterinary professionals and partner clinics, and must be authorized by SCCCP before they are scheduled. Supplies depend on available funding and donated inventory.
Fosters are expected to keep cats indoors, provide daily care, transport them to scheduled appointments, and communicate regularly with our team. We do not promise unlimited supplies, immediate support, or unrestricted veterinary coverage.
