Great news everyone!!! Two of my little bitty foster kittens now have a lovely new home to go to when they're ready!
Tonight i had an interview witha couple who was interested in adopting them...i let them come over to the house and set up an appointment to see the kittens/etc. They were sooooooo wonderful!!!!! They spent almost 3 hours with them!
They even wanted to learn how to bottle feed and all that so i taught them and they got to help feed their new little kittens!!!
it was soo sweet to see them all bond together! What a blessing!!!
I am estatic about this couple- they're soo awesome and will give these kittens such a great home when they're ready! They are adopting Piper (the only kitty that survived, her other two siblings passed on recently of fading kitten syndrome.) and they are adopting Lola from my older litter of 3 tiger tabbies
They are renaming Piper, Mimi after a kitty they used to have who passed on a while back- they said she looks just like her!
and they are renaming little Lola, Cali.
The kitties just loved them to pieces too!!!! They took right to them! They are still too young to go to a home yet and I will be fostering them for a while longer...so in the mean time the couple will be setting up appointments to see their new furbabies between now and then!
They will both be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped before going to their new home! I am soooooooo excited!
Also- more great news- two more families are comming later in the week, both looking for one kitten a piece when they're ready to go home- i have two little tiger tabbie kittens left, linus and lily, who need homes so that would be perfect if they each had a new home as well!!!! Keep your fingers crossed,it looks like all of my foster babies will have pre approved homes when they're ready!!!!
Thanks everyone!! I am just estatic about this wonderful couple!!! They are sooo sweet and were just soo great with the kitties! They were also really sweet around my animals as well (something i keep in mind when looking at potential adopters is how they treat everyone and handle them) they passed the interview with flying colors and are just soo great! I feel really good knowing two of my little girls will have a great new home with them! That definitely makes being a foster mommy soo nice when you find that perfect home for your foster kittens- it's a wonderful feeling!!
They're going to set up an appointment in a few days to come back and hang out with the kittens again and spend time with them
They sound like a great couple and the fact that they wanted to spend so much time with them, learn how to feed and bond is a really important factor when looking for potential adopters! It's also good to see the kittens liking them also in return!
I think you will be happy knowing that they have a good home to go to and I hope the others will also get some special homes to go to.
thankyou everyone! i am just thrilled about this wonderful couple- i just know my kittens are going to have a wonderful forever home with them!!!! and the fact that they wanted to spend sooo much time with them playing/feeding/learing to care for them definitely was a good thing! They are going to call again this week to set up another appointment to visit them. They are soo nice! The kittens just adore them too! Little Mimi (i'm going to go ahead and start calling them by their new names so they'll be accustomed to them when they go to their new home) is REALLY in love with the man- she was just purring away while he fed her her bottle and snuggled right up to him to go to sleep!
and little Cali LOVES her new mommy! She snuggled right between her chest and was sticking both paws out and kissing her- sooo cute!!!!! I am very happy- i feel like this is the best possible home for these girls so that made my night finding out they wanted both!! Origionally they were just going to get one,but when they saw my other litter of kittens, they both fell in love with Cali and decided that it would be best to have two kittens together
That's awesome Nikki, and the fact that they will keep coming over to see them will help that bond so when they go home with them it will be an easy transition
Not such good news now guys- please keep little Mimi (formerly Piper) in your prayers! I just got home a minute ago from work and found her laying on top of her stuffie and completly off her fleecy blankets and heating pads. she was freezing!!!!
Even though she's in the warmest spot in the house. I took her out and immedately warmed her up and got some fluids in her. She was doing better when i put her back in her carrier and i took the stuffie out and added some more fleecy blankets/turned the heating pad up to keep her warm. I don't know what happened
It really scared me. I hope she's ok. I don't want to have to call her new owners and tell them bad news if something happens.
My new Jade was sleeping so soundly I picked her up & she didn't respond. It scared the bejeeprs outta me....I can't imagine what's going through your mind right now Nikki! MEGA
it really scared me...when her siblings died- i found them in a similar way. i am hoping little mimi is ok. i'm about to go check on her again and make sure she's still warm.
