It's not unusual for a foster family to be asked to provide food and litter for a foster fert. Many rescues have never been able to offer that to their foster families. They should be responsible for all vet care. I also volunteer for a dog rescue. They provide the leash, collar, and crate if you need one but the foster is responsible for providing the food. -- Kristie "...Saving just one pet won't change the world...but, surely, the world will change for that one pet..."
