Meet "Li'l Orphan Annie", our new calico foster!....(PICTURES)
Well, we're trying it AGAIN!:) The Humane Society called me yesterday and asked if I could take in a little 2-2 1/2 week old female calico kitten as a foster. She was in another foster home with some other kittens, but they were all sick and the foster mom brought her in to the Humane Society to try to find her another foster home, to prevent her from getting sick, too. She has pinkeye, which is being treated.
So we're keeping her in the dog carrier, with a litter box, a hot water bottle and a heating pad to help keep her warm. We're feeding her formula with syringes, and she's been sleeping a lot. I'm somewhat worried about her because she sneezes quite a bit, more than Shadow did when we brought him home. But she's eating OK, and she pooped yesterday. She cries when we hold her, but when we put her in the carrier on the heating pad, or on the towel covering the hot water bottle, she settles right down.
We're calling her "Annie", which is short for "Li'l Orphan Annie", while she's with us. We really won't be able to keep her, as two cats and two dogs are already plenty for our household. Shadow looks big now compared to her. He's been looking at her, but he hasn't been pouting or anything because she's now in "his" carrier. (He has "outgrown" the carrier, and the baby gate, and now has full run of the house!)
Well, anyway, on to the pictures: (They're from the Polaroid Instant camera, as the 35 mm film is just going to be dropped off at the store tomorrow morning for developing.)
