BECOME A FOSTER CARER

---

We are seeking long term volunteers who can provide a safe and loving temporary home for our rescues.

We have dogs, puppies and occasionally cats/kittens who have been abandoned, neglected, abused or surrendered.

As a foster carer you will be required to provide a safe, secure home with basic training, food is often provided.

Requirements

• Over 18yrs of age
• Live in Cairns, Mareeba and surrounding areas
• Renters must have owner/real estate approval
• Fenced/secure property

Our non for profit rescue organization is volunteer based and rely on the kindness of those who give their time to save lives.

PLEASE NOTE: We are the ONLY NO KILL Rescue in Mareeba.

Also

PLEASE NOTE: We have absolutely no connection to the Mareeba Shire Council Owned and Operated KILL Shelter (Mareeba Animal Refuge-Friends of the Animals).

Animal Rescue Tablelands Inc in Mareeba is urgently seeking a new cat/kitten foster carer to take over from our current carer who had dedicated her time over the past few years and is now retiring. This is a volunteer position, and we provide absolutely everything you need to get started.

You will receive:

Outdoor enclosures

Litter trays

Carriers

Cat toys

Scratching poles

All supplies needed for fostering ready to go

There is no cost to you. ART covers:

All food

All vet work

Ongoing flea, tick, heartworm and worm treatments

At the moment, we have 6 kittens needing care. They are fed twice a day, and litter trays are cleaned twice a day. You can also spend time sitting with them, talking to them, and helping them socialise, they absolutely love the company.

Sadly, if we are unable to find a new cat/kitten carer by the 30th of June 2026, we will have no choice but to pause all cat and kitten rescues and temporarily remove cats from our Last Litter Program, as we cannot continue these services without a dedicated carer in place.

All you need is some time and a big heart.

If you can help, please fill in the below form, message our page or call Sandy on 0487 430 443.
