What costs should BC SPCA fosters be ready for?

The BC SPCA provides all necessary supplies. Food, and supplies like toys, litter, pet-friendly cleaning supplies, vet care, and training, to make fostering easy and enjoyable for you and your foster pet.

Fosters cover costs for transporting animals to and from appointments, including fuel, vehicle maintenance or taxi/ rideshare fees. These appointments are usually scheduled on weekdays between 8am and 5pm. They can be frequent, sometimes once or twice each week.

Fosters may need to do more laundry than usual or choose to use materials like paper towel for cleaning. These costs should also be considered when thinking about fostering.

The BC SPCA reimburses fosters for pre-approved expenses like greens for small animals. Please keep your receipts and make sure you have expense approval before making new purchases.
