Foster: the CASA Cat Coloring Book
Foster: The CASA Cat Coloring Book - A Bilingual Coloring Book for Building Connection
The first meeting between a child and their advocate can feel big, awkward, and a little scary, especially for a child who has already been through so much change. Foster the CASA Cat gives our advocates and children a gentle place to begin.
Through the friendly, familiar character of Foster, this English and Spanish coloring book turns a first visit into something that feels safe and easy. Coloring side by side takes away the pressure of eye contact and big questions. Children can relax, express themselves at their own pace, and start to see their advocate as a caring, consistent presence. The bilingual pages help Spanish-speaking children and families feel seen and welcome from the very first hello.
The coloring book includes interactive questions and activities. Each page is an invitation to talk, to share, and to build trust one crayon stroke at a time. For advocates, it's a practical icebreaker and a reminder of why those early moments matter so much. For children, it's a small, colorful sign that someone is in their corner.
Foster the CASA Cat: because every strong relationship starts with a first hello. Your donations to the "Foster" campaign help provide books and coloring books to our kids!

Foster and CASA, friends for 10 years
Foster was only around 6 months old when we first saw her. She knows her name and talks to us, but has never allowed us the privilege of petting her. A friend to all kitties, Kari fell for Foster when she joined Piedmont CASA in January as our recruitment and training coordinator. She wrote Foster's biography and now it's a book. A seasoned educator with 17 years of K-12 experience, Kari wrote Foster the CASA Cat to promote empathy and support for children in foster care.
