Hey guys,
Wanted to share with you my newest specail needs foster (I foster with Cats Cradle out of Harrisonburg Va). They're up for adoption if you know anyone interested
Higgins was found by a local feeding a colony on a gravel parking lot. It's unclear if he was born without his front...
Foster kittens have really started to "come in their own" with personality as they've become healthier and older.
Not the best pic of me, but I did work a 12 hours day! Left to right, Walter, Alli, Shooter, and Houdini
Once again, my niece has a way with the kittens! I think they know she has...
Met up with my family at my sisters house to celebrate Father's Day. Decided to take my two healthy fosters for the trip. My nieces had a ball, and so did the kittens!

Two more laying on next to the sliding glass door (Mr. G and Romeo)
Thanks for your advice and vibes regarding Houdini and the possible FIP. I believe LDG had it right about him not having it. He's shown no fever and continues to thrive. His belly still swells, but then goes down after a HUGE bowel movement, then swells a couple days later and cycle continues...
Foster kittens were feeling especially spiffy today after their lunch!
I'm coming to get you! (Mr. G)

Mr G outside the box, can you see Houdini in the box?
I just received worried that the rescue is worried about my newest foster Houdini. He is much smaller than the rest of his litter, and has a distended belly, that has them worried. They fear it could be FIP (I think it stands for feline infectious parasite) which is almost always fatal. They...
Today my fosters went to a vaccine clinic held at the home of one of the foster coordinates. They had blood drawn for combo test (EVERY ONE tested neg!) and 4-way vaccines. Only 3 of mine could get the vaccine, one was too sickly. I realized why I could never be a Vet or Tech. Their cries during...
This beautiful declawed Persian named Scherazade (Sha-hair-uh-zawd) was put outside by her owners, when the moved away. Luckily, the neighbors called the rescue for help. We ended up having to shave her b/c she was so matted. She's super sweet, loves to cuddle on your neck! We're fostering for...
I dropped off my first two rescues Friday to take a "kitten bus" to PetSmart for adoption about 2 hrs out of town. They were my first rescues and my first successful adoptions.
I cried when I dropped them off It was harder then I thought
But I did it, knowing that I could help foster more...
I have two foster babies, 6 weeks. Both came in with Coccidia, and I've been treating with Albon. One is doing great and has soild stools, the other still has diarrhea and now and inflamed bum hole. Husband called it "protruding anus"
I wash him frequently, to clean off the diarrhea and...
As many of you know, getting a pic of a kitten is next to impossible! These were the only ones that came out. These are my newest fosters. They were pulled form a hoarder's home. Hoarder had 69 cats, 30 of them sickly kittens. These two are 6 weeks old and are currently suffering from goopy eye...
When I first got Irving, (my first foster kitten) he was so sick with an URI. He had a complete melt down. First he was plucked from a dumpster by his "finder" (and the rest of his litter) was spayed the next day, then to my house all within 48 hours. He hissed, bit me, scratched etc. Only 8...
A while back, there was this great pic that was posted by the member here who made a complete maze/cat trees out of the plastic storage tubs. I'm trying to find that pic, to show someone. I think about that a lot, b/c it was a great idea, and much more affordable. If that member is reading...
In addition to the two fosters I got last week (pics posted in Fur Pics Only) I got two more today. There is a home in the area with a hoarder and she had 30 kittens. They're 6 weeks old and and weight about 1.5 lbs (sorry, I don't know how much that is in metric system). Pics coming...
I'm fostering two kittens who were about to be put down Monday due to over crowding and the fact that they both have an upper respiratory infection. The rescue I've been working with Cat's Cradle saved them, along with many others. I got these two boys. The orange one is Irving and is extremely...
I've put up several posts regarding a male kitty I've been fostering. I've had problems with spraying, and other male cat behaviors.
I took him to his prospective new home last Thursday and everything is going wonderfully! He hasn't sprayed or howled the whole time. She has no other pets, so...
I just got this video link from a friend. Not sure if any of have seen it already. It's super cute.
