The adoption fair today!

So as most of you know, the shelter that I foster for had an adoption fair today! Just wanted to let you all know that it went VERY well! 21 cats and kittens found their forever homes today, 5 of which were my fosters! My mama Penny, Shea, Betsy, Jewel & Loonie all went home! Still have my foster boys though, but their time will come. I was really, really happy because some adult cats went home today who have been at the shelter for MONTHS! So with the 21 from today, and the 24 adopted last weekend, we've been doing a great job at trying to make some room at the shelter.

Unfortunately it is a revolving door. At the fair today I was saying that we had an empty room now where the girls were all adopted and the manager told me about a pregnant mom they had they would like me to foster. We went right to the shelter after the fair and the mom was in labor and already had 3 kittens, one of which didn't make it. The mama, who is orange and we named Trixie, was a little unsure at first and needed some help, but the 2 she has now are now nursing and looking great. There is a grey tabby and a torbie, both girls and I know there are still more kittens to come as she is still quite big and contracting. Stay tuned!

Oh Kailie, I'm so sorry about Trixie's baby. for the rest, and to you and Dana for being so completely wonderful!

As to the adoption fair... that is FABULOUS news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really great about the adoption fair Kailie!! Unfortunately like you said it's a revolving door... the kitties are lucky to have you and Dana, you do SO much!!

Good luck with the boys and the new group.

What great news on the adoptions, Kailie! I'm so glad the mommas have been adopted!

Congrats on the new momma and babies. They're in a great place now and will be well loved on!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Kailie, I am SO glad the adoption fair was a success

And I'm sorry about the little baby that didn't make it

There seems to be alot of torbies this year! WAHOO can't wait to see mama and her babies, hopefully the rest of her labor and delivery goes smoothly and all the kittens are healthy and happy

Thank you all!

Just an update on mama Trixie: This afternoon, almost 24 hours after her first 3 kittens were born, Trixie gave birth to 2 more kittens. One, a grey tabby, unfortunately was stillborn , however the other, a beautiful orange tabby who looks just like it's mom, is now happily nursing away with it's 2 sisters. Hopefully poor Trixie is now done.

Kailie it's a wonderful thing you do. Happy to hear all the fosters who got forever homes and sad for the kittens that didn't make it.

Oh Kailie! Just caught this thread and was thinking of you and the adoption fair this weekend. I am beyond happy to hear this news . That is a fantastic turnover and I am thrilled also that five of your fosters got homes. Boy, you and Dana certainly are very, very special cat saviors . I hope Trixie is doing well after giving birth and can't wait to see some pictures

I promise I will get some pictures later today! I want to get some new ones of the boys too so that I can get them all advertised like crazy.

I'm so glad so many cats found homes!! The work you do is so wonderful and so important!!

Way to go, Kailie! I'm so happy about the little ones who found forever homes.

I'm so sorry about the little stillborn babies.

Great news about the adoption fair! Best wishes to Trixie and her little ones....
