Hi everyone,
My parents finally said I could foster. They don't want me doing bottle babies until later this year when I'm not working full time. So for now I'm fostering older kitties, 8-12 weeks, that are too young to be altered so can't be adopted just yet.
My first kitties are Bill and Bob. They are 8 weeks old. They were caught in a trap on Wednesday. They have been feral up until this point, so they're not fond of human contact. They hiss a lot, but they don't bite or swat at me. Once I have them in my arms they calm down. Their mom was really wild, and once she was altered she was realeased back to the wild. They've already been adopted but are just waiting to be neutered.
I'm trying to leave them alone for the rest of the day and probably tomorrow too so that they settle in here. After that they'll be carried around a lot because they've got to get used to human contact. Luckily their adopters understand that they have been wild, and aren't as affectionate as most kitties just yet.
Bob is the one with less black on his head, Bill is the one with more black. Bob is more tame than Bill, it seems.
Here are a few pictures.
