Could you foster Bruno? Sophia is going into treatment

A short-term foster for a calm ginger cat in New Orleans while the owner recovers.

New Orleans
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Thursday, for about 6 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Bruno, my seven-year-old ginger cat. Bruno is a bit shy at first but really affectionate. I'm looking for a temporary foster within New Orleans. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Bruno is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better. Glad we found this place.
