They sound adorable!!!!
I think it's a great idea. A thank you note will keep you in her memory. Have you thought about sending her a link to TCS? She may just like it here, and it's also proof positive that you'd make an amazing Meowmy to one of her fosters.Originally Posted by emily_325
I just wrote the kittens' foster mom an email thanking her for the chance to meet her and the kittens on Saturday.
I also sent her a couple of pics of Anya to show her the cat that the kitten would be living with should they choose us. I tried to pick ones where she looked extra healthy, loved, and maybe even a little spoiled.
I also said that we were anxiously awaiting a response as to who the kittens would be adopted out to, and if they had any additional questions they wanted to ask me to feel free to write or call.
Think this was a good idea? Too pushy? I just want her to see that we're good people who are capable of loving and taking care of a cat, etc.
I thought that, but then I got all paranoid about this thread, and that Brian's initial hesitance would make them say no to us.
I always like it when people come back more than once, ask a ton of question and otherwise seem VERY excited about adoptng one of our cats. I'd be very happy if you were doing these things with regards to one of our kitties!Originally Posted by emily_325

Haha, it almost is like a quiz, isn't it? There are some experience and well-informed cat people who come in and are basically on-par with us as far as good care knowledge and the like. I love to see those people, too!Originally Posted by valanhb
Good luck and lots of Get the Baby vibes!
I have to say, when we filled out the application for Mojo I felt really good about it because of everything I've learned here at TCS. When we left I told Earl, "I'm pretty sure that I aced their quiz."I knew that I had the right knowledge on declawing and food, and sure enough - they called the next day saying that we were approved!

The 2 of them are inseperable! Him & Louie are connected at the hip....ok at the ankle!
wishing you lots of baby vibes!
I know with me if I have more then one application to go threw it can take me up to a week to decide who gets the baby. If you where applying to adopt one of my fosters you would be top on my list!Originally Posted by emily_325
I haven't heard back anything yet. Not even a return email from the foster mom that I emailed. She does have a legitimate daytime job though, and not everyone is off today. I'M at work.
Where is lionnessrampant? How long do you usually take to get back to people? When shoud I decide they didn't pick us?

At the Humane Society here, it can take up to a week or possibly more to get an application checked. We do call for a vet refernce as well as two personal references, so it all depends on if we can get ahold of them or not! I wouldn't be too worried about not hearing back from them yet. I think their biggest concern is not with getting the kittens out of there so much as it is with finding the perfect home for them.Originally Posted by LuckyGirl
I was hoping they'd pick you right away, especially with the email & pics of Anya, I think that was brilliant. But I remember, DH & I found this beautiful snow shoe kitten we wanted to adopt, we filled out the paperwork, and expected a call in a day or 2, (thinking that there would be some sense of urgency for getting the kittens into a home & out of a cage) when they didn't call I went & got Louie, then almost 2 weeks later they called me. I told her, I wanted to get a new kitten within a few days cause I was off of work and wanted to be around to help socialize them and keep everyone safe, also with litter training & stuff. I think 2 weeks is a long time to wait for a response.....
