I fostered 3 kittens this summer as a volunteer for the (very large)
city animal shelter. This is not a 5013c organization, just a terribly
chaotic, underfunded place which gets by only because it has a large
number of inhouse volunteers and outside foster parents.
I incurred various expenses during the time I had the kittens.. cage,
food, driving back and forth-- nothing major. Ultimately I adopted
out one and kept two.
Am I allowed to deduct my fostering costs... say, up to the point
where I decided to keep the two... on Schedule A, despite the fact
that this organization is not formally classified as charitable and
despite keeping 2 of them?
