Cats have strong self-care ability, so owners don't need to worry too much. Generally, they leave for a short time, as long as they leave enough water and cat food. But if you leave home for a long time, for example, your master is on a business trip, you may not be at home for five or six days. Even without water and cat food, cats can hardly live for such a long time, so foster care is bound to be put on the agenda.
First, the price of cat foster care
Of course, there is no uniform charge standard for the price of cat foster care, but compared with dogs, the price of cat foster care is more expensive. In Shanghai, the average pet store spends about 40~50 yuan a day on foster care, providing water and general cat food. If the foster care lasts for a long time, you can provide free bathing service. A better pet store is about 60~80 yuan a day, providing water and high-quality cat food, as well as some snacks and the like, with a better environment. Moreover, these foster pet shops will increase their prices on some important holidays, such as Chinese New Year and National Day holidays, which will generally increase by 20~30 yuan, so owners should be prepared psychologically.
Second, book and buy coupons in advance.
If you are sure that your cat has no friends to help raise it, you should book a pet shop for foster care in advance. Generally speaking, on important holidays, many pet shops are popular for foster care, and there may be no places, and some cheap pet shops will be booked up early, so we should do a good job in advance. If there are coupons online, you should buy them in advance, and determine from the pet store whether they can be used and how much can be used for foster care. , and try to be the most favorable.

Third, cats should do their homework before fostering.
Generally, underage cats should try not to be fostered. Kittens have weak resistance and poor adaptability to the environment. Therefore, no matter how good the environment is, it is hard to avoid not getting sick. Adult cats should also be treated with preventive deworming before foster care. If the vaccine is in the immunization period, no additional vaccination is needed. However, if it expires during the foster care period, it is necessary to inject the vaccine in advance to avoid some possible diseases, take a bath before taking it home, and avoid bringing some pathogenic bacteria home.
There are some family-style foster care methods now. Some owners who own cats have more space at home, so they adopt some foster cats. Such owners are usually more caring and can choose if they have a good reputation.
