*Unbearably cute!!*

Wonderful shots!  I just adore Almond's meerkat impersonation.. and her wavy moves in the video.

Adorable!!

So... do you get to meet their prospective families? Or does the shelter find them homes? They're going to capture someone's heart, for sure!

I can see little Pistachio growing up into a sort of warm black, very dark brown coat. You've got a knack for photographing black kittens. I always get little black blobs that don't show their cuteness!

I could not give Almond up. I just know I couldn't.

Both cute but Almond would be the hardest to give up for me.

So adorable! I don't know how foster homes do it. I feel like if I was a foster home, I would just turn into a hoarder!

Hehe, well, Christy's a foster failure so I'm not one to talk, but it really is much easier when you meet the people who are going to adopt the kittens and see them falling in love with their new pets. It's more like they are going away to school and less like you are losing them forever.

Maybe kittens are different, though. I've only fostered adult cats; kittens are so dependent and fragile when they're young, and such a handful when they get older.

I don't always meet the forever homes, but the rescue does a wonderful job at making sure it is a good one. Most adaptors post updates on the facebook page. I LOVE seeing my kittens so happy and loved in their forever homes. That's the part that makes it so great! I have foster failed before but you have to remind yourself that if you kept them all you could not help more. Almond is the first kitten I have wanted to keep in a while. She is oh so very snuggly, but wild and crazy at the same time. She is surely going to be snatched up very quick. Pistachio is a little ham so hopefully that will give him a little bit of an advantage.

Tip for taking pictures of black cats that turn out is natural light. I have a very hard time otherwise getting a picture that is anything but a blob.

Thanks for the tip.  The hubby and I just adopted a 7 week old black kitten last night from a rescue.  We a having a hard time getting pictures of him.   We were not actually looking for another cat when we went to buy cat food.  The kitten adopted my hubby by climbing on his shoulder when we went to pay for our food.
