hi Indysteel,

I've worked with cat rescue groups and my partner with golden retriever rescue groups. Common theme is that they are not very organized when it comes to supporting fosters and the animals in care of the fosters. If you want your foster to be adopted out, its up to you to write up his bio, make it sound cute, and you have to make an effort to bring the cat in for a showing and then spend the day of the adoption at the adoption so your cat gets the attention from perspective new family.

Help you see, is often amongst the core members of the rescue group. So if you are just doing this once or twice a year, you are an outsider with not much help.

My advice is to be aggressive and proactive with your fosters adoption. Call and make sure you have a cage available for your foster for the adoption day. Print up cute or sad bio but be honest. You are marketing your foster. Take good photos if the rescue group has a web site with photos of the animal.

Lastly, keep in mind that it is for the animal. Put aside your hurt feeling and when the foster gets adopted out, you will forget the hurt feeling of being ignored or not being appreciated by the rescue group.

I wish you well.
