Contact shelters nearby - and or vets nearby your place.... Be ready to tell them about your experience and or preparations.
If you arent very experienced,ASK for healthy kittens, whom got orphans or are from a big batch..

Foster homes are often in great demand. A common cause for healthy kittens pts is - there are no foster homes in line...

I suggest you wait until your cat has her kittens and see how many she has. Depending on the size of the litter you may need to supplement some of her kittens. You may have your hands full with her litter. Don’t overload yourself or mama kitty. I know you’re wanting to help, but maybe wait and see.

Did the foster puppies come from a shelter? If you already have contact with a shelter I suggest you ask them if they need anyone to foster kittens. Make sure you let them know that you have a cat that's about to give birth though, just in case the foster kittens have anything contagious that could be passed on to your cat and her litter.

There must be hundreds of shelters in your city that need help. Have you tried reaching out to any of them?
