Pics of my foster boys!!

Some of you know that I am fostering for the first time. I took four young adult cats from a local high-kill pound. They are turning out to be very good, furry, four-legged house guests.

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce you to: Archie, Jakie, Prowler and Ghost!


This is Archie - he is such a loving boy - launches himself into my lap, mashes his face into mine and smothers me with kisses!!





Next is Jakie - he is my velcro kitty, underfoot, on his hind legs putting his paws on me, following me around, begging for attention!


this image is a little blurry but he was moving. I just think it's cute he just has to lay on me - often it's my feet!!


This is Jakie's brother, Prowler. They were surrended from the same home. He is the most openly playful and adventurous. Once he settled in he had to look EVERYWHERE. Oh, and he likes my stinky sandals!




And last but not least, my scaredy cat boy Ghost! He is a grey, tan and white Snowshoe mix (we think) with beautiful blue eyes. He is still hiding in my guest bath, but is gaining confidence and strength every day. His neuter incision also got infected and he is very good about taking his oral Clavamox. Purrs nonstop and loves to knead on me!


You can get some idea of his beautiful markings in this full shot.

They're all gorgeous, but most of all Ghost! When do they go up for adoption?

Archie, Jakie and Prowler can go anytime. One of the reasons I took pics is so we can get them on Petfinder and on our own web site.

Ghost needs more time and he has to complete this first round of Clavamox before we put him out there.

I will have a hard time parting with these guys, but probably the most issue with Ghost - he is soooooo sweet and gentle yet so scared. He won't eat his wet food unless I am sitting there... and every few bites he looks up at me with this expression on his face like - is it ok to eat this? I don't know what happened to him in the first 2 years of his life, but I promise to make sure that the rest of his years are wonderful!

We had a kitty that looked like Prowler here - man, everyone wanted him! Our vet adopted him, though. Hopefully they all get adopted quickly, I can't imagine, even being shy, that Ghost will be around long once he's healthy enough to be adopted!

Beautiful kitties!! I don't know what it is, but the first pic of Archie just blows me away... what a HANDSOME boy!!

I know I'm biased, but Archie is super GORGEOUS!!! He looks a lot like my Trent. I just love those black fluffy lover-boys!

All of them are gorgeous, though. I love the little markings on Jakie's face, and how he's so loving. I love Prowler's little dark nose, and his curiosity. I love how unique Ghost looks, and the shy ones always have a special place in my heart.

You know, I was thinking of you and Trent - -and another TCS member - screen name escapes me who has a fluffy black cat - Muddy.

Yes to all - Archie is gorgeous ... and his fur is silky soft. He was picked up as a stray. Someone lost a wonderful cat.

As for Ghost - when I took him to the vet... all the techs just HAD to come see him - so unique looking.

Archie and ghost are gorgeous, well all 4 are really


ghosts markings are stunning

I LOVE Archie He is a very handsome boy

Add me into the line of Archie lovers.... He is stunning, I can only hope that my boys will look like Archie, Trent and Muddy when they get older.

I'll play devils advocate and ask why can't you keep them? They all look very happy at home with you. I was blown away at how beautiful Archie is also. But really, all of them are some handsome kitties.

They are all goooorgeous and wonderful, but I especially adore Archie. Yes, I am another black cat lover, and he is a stunner.

Regarding Archie - he is as lovely inside as he is out. He's a doll-baby. When I first met him at the pound, I said to myself - I HAVE to get this guy outta here!

Yes -they like my condo ... especially running up and down the stairs (townhouse), but truly, I cannot keep them. Homeowners rules state only ONE animal. And I am not really living there... I am living with Mom and running back and forth there 2x a day to look after them and give Ghost his Clavamox. My mother HATES animals - not mean hate... but 'I wouldn't hurt one but dont ever bring one into the house' kind of hate. So I am stashing them at my unoccupied condo... while working on it to ready it for the sales market. I cannot continue to carry two properties.... looking after both, etc.

So in the meantime, it makes a good arrangement.

I have a new foster - picked up yesterday. His name is Tex the Tux.

Darling little boy!! pics as soon as I can.
