Hi Juanita, if you're not able to feed your starter, the refrigerator is generally a safe place to store it. However, we recommend giving it a feeding, leaving it out at room temperature for a few hours to start bubbling, and then placing it in the refrigerator. This will ensure that your starter has some nourishment while it's in the fridge. While a generally well-maintained starter can survive in the fridge for a month or even longer, the longer the starter has been stored in the refrigerator, the more room temperature feedings may be required to bring it back to its normal aroma and rising behavior. If you're able to give your starter a feeding once a week while it's stored in the fridge, this will help to keep it more active.
