Description
Christine Roseveare and co-authors study cat fostering by rescue groups in Aotearoa-New Zealand, using the Ottawa Charter as their frame. The Charter links health to care for others and to a supportive setting. The authors ask whether that idea also fits work with animals.
They surveyed forty cat rescue groups and spoke with fourteen foster programme coordinators. Fostering came across as real care work, at times hard, and some groups used Charter ideas such as building skills and community action. The authors argue that care in the Charter should include human and animal ties, while public health still leaves a gap here.
