Wow, I am so excited! Last year, I mentioned here that I wanted to foster, but due to life events, was unable to. A while ago, things finally settled down and I finally put my name on the list to take some fosters in.
I got a phone call today saying they have some for me! So tonight, I get to go pick up a mommy cat and her FIVE 8 day old babies!
I'm in love and haven't even met them! I'm very excited. Can you tell?
What I know of their story is that mommy was an "outdoor cat", but in the sense that she is a stray and an older gentleman was feeding her. Not sure if he gave her a name or not, I should find out soon. Anyway, when he realized she had babies, he did the right thing and brought them to his vet. But, since this wasn't really his cat to begin with, he didn't want to and can't very well physically take care of all 6 of them, so he gave them up. And that's where I come in.
They tell me mommy is a very good mommy, and all 6 are healthy. So basically, I just need to make sure they have plenty of food, water, peace and quiet to grow (she's pretty freaked out from the shelter), and lots of love!
I know nothing about their breed or looks, but there are 3 males and 2 females (3 if you count mommy!). But you guys can bet that you will be hearing a lot more from me when I have their stories to tell! And probably for some advice, too.
Evie is a lot of fun, but her stories aren't nearly as exciting as I imagine a housefull of kitties will be!
