HELP! I want to foster some kittens through L.I.F.E. Rescue!!

[NoahsMommy]

I really want to foster some kittens.....PetSmart had a lot of signs up asking for foster homes.

I can't even convey how bad I want to do it...how can I convince David that I wont keep them? I know our "happy" limit. We're at it.

I called him from PetSmart and he said "no". That he didn't want any more animals at home.

Well, I do! I want to help. How do I convince him? The only inconvence he mentioned is that the cats would want to know who is in the closet...

Help????

[NoahsMommy]

Awwww! She has two 6-7 week olds!!!! I want to help!!!

Aww Kelly I feel your pain :( I wanted to foster SO BAD and the SPCA even called me and asked if I could take a mom and her kittens, but my landlord won't let me!!!!! :( I don't know how to convince him.. maybe just.. bring them home and see??? ;)

[NoahsMommy]

I'm waiting for her return phone call. Maybe we'll get something situated tomorrow. They are already 6/7 weeks, I know they'll find homes fast!! Lets just hope they aren't orangies!! ;)

YAY!!!!!!!! :D

I am soooo jealous! I really need to learn some of your techniques with David. :(

But I'm so happy for you and the new kittens!!! I hope there's an orangie and a tortie. ;) :D You really need to find a bigger home so we can follow your accumulation of kitties. Especially since Jen already had her 13 before she came here so we didn't get to witness her accumulation. ;) :D

I'm so excited and can't wait for more details....and pics!!! :D

Awww, I'm so jealous of you!!!!!!! How did you convince him????!!!????!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D
Here's what happened to me one day at Petsmart:
Me and my mom and my dad went to Petsmart one day. We saw a beautiful cat we all liked (well, I liked). She was exactly the same age as our Blueberry at that time, and it was also around my birthday. I really really wanted to get her, and my parents talked to the guy there for so long. The guy kept on telling my parents that we should get another one, because two is like nothing, and we could handle it. Well, after talking about it for a long time with that guy, my parents decided to leave and they said "we need to think about it". and that was it, now when I ask, they would say no:( I was really convinced that we would get that kitty, and I thought they would get her for my birthday, but they didn't. I was really sad. I still am, that I can't get another one.
But I'll never give up, every time we go to Petsmart, I keep on annoying them about getting another one.

Oh well, but I'm really happy for you! If that happened to me, I would be VERY happy too.

There has been a change of plans. I know my cats wont be able to deal with Gracie AND kittens in the closet. Click here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25695 to see why. :)

Bluekat,
I have an idea. After Oliver, I promised that I would do EVERYTHING for the cats. I buy the food, bowls, toys, take them to the vets, CLEAN THE LITTER BOXES, get up at 2:00 AM when I hear them making noise. EVERYTHING. That really helped in the bargaining....The only thing David does is get the litter for me. It comes in 40 lb tubs and I cant lift them. He doesn't mind that part.

:) I hope you get another kitty. More is merrier. :) :D :)

I really don't know why my parents don't want another cat,I can't think of a reason. Well, my mom does want another one, but there's probably because there's so many little reasons why she doesn't want one. There's always too much fur everywhere. Well, only on clothes and sometimes in our mouth:p, and Blueberry always follows my mom around. He goes in between her legs, and she could hardly walk. She hates that. Going down the stairs, he would just sit there in front of her, and its easy to trip on him. I really don't think that's the reason why, so I don't know the real reason. They say its not the money, and we do have enough space, and I clean the litter box every night, and groom him everyday, feed him, I do everything. But they do have to help me cut his nails and a few times give him a bath.
But that stuff is not really a big deal, and my parents seem to love Blueberry realy much. I just don't have any clue why they can't let me get another one.:(
They said that when I'm older and get a place of my own, I could get as many as I want.
Or maybe its just that we're too busy?
Thanks for trying to help:) I try telling them that I'll do everything, see if it'll work.
