[jenluckenbach]

With the adoptions of Smiley and O'Brien there seems to be room at the inn....or so you'd think. ;)
Look who showed up for dinner!

Josie

and Enoch

They are 3 months old and HUGE! (for that age)

I don't know a thing about them except that there were 4 and the mom being kept by a lady who was awaiting foster space. Well I had 2 adoptions and another 1by1 girl had 2 adoptions so we split them up and now mom cat can go get spayed.

They are beautiful. Josie doesn't look very happy. Don't look now, but your third floor is being overrun by tuxies and orangies! :D

[catcrazylady]

[CatDad]

Well Jen at least the number of kitties is stable.;)

Both are very cute, however Josie does not look very happy at the time the picture was taken.;)

Thanks for the pictures.

[jenluckenbach]

Josie was hissing at Asper who got a little too close to her. :)

But ALL the other pictures were blurry :(

[jazzcat]

They are adorable! Jen you do seem to get a lot of tuxies and orangies.

How is Tang?? I love those eyes.

I'm so shocked here. NO WHINING FROM DEBBIE.:eek:
You're slipping girl.:D

Oh Jen they are adorable and yes they do look big for 3 months.
I hope they are all healthy and find a forever home soon.
I got dibs on Josie. She looks so much like my RB Mittens.

[carla and mike]

Lucky cats.It's always nice to have new comers but also so much work.
Good luck.Their in good hands now.:D :D

[christa]

YAY!!! There's another Josie cat in the world! They're both so adorable!!!

[Kirsten]

Little Josie is really looking upset! He resembles my RB Katz so much! :)

I'm glad they're in a good place now and will hopefully find some good homes soon!

CONGRATULATIONS!! ON PLACEMENTS!! FOSTERING ROCKS:D :D :D

[Vermontcat]

Josie is so cute!:D
She looks like she has a lot of Tuxytude!;)
But Jen, now you have two beautiful Tux girls that I want, Josie and Barbara Ann!:)
How did Barbara Ann do with her spay surgery? Any updates?

[jenluckenbach]

How did Barbara Ann do with her spay surgery?
She did very well, as expected.

I am telling you, Barbie NEEDS to be with you and you KNOW it!!

[Vermontcat]

Well, I know it but I wish my husband knew it too!
How many years are you willing to foster Barbara Ann?
I don't think there will be a spot for a new cat here for that long.:(

[QueenScoopalot]

There's never a shortage of kittens now is there? What a cute and enormous pair. :D

Yes, you can tell! At first I thought it was just the picture, but to me Enoch looks like he's about 6 months old, not 3! :eek: :eek: 'Course what do I know about how big 3 month old kittens should be. ;)

They are adorable and I'm sure you won't have them for long - that's the bad, but good, news. :)

jenluckenbach - where do they come from and what are you doing to get them adopted?? Are you working with a cat rescue organization?

I'm curious, as I've been doing a lot of kitten fostering this summer for Save Our Strays in my area (Cincinnati). Seems like getting cats adopted is never very easy. Early summer, the little kittens went pretty quickly, but now there are SO MANY kittens available everywhere, that it's taking lots longer. We have cages available at PetSmart stores to display them, and we hold adoptathons every other weekend or so. What do you do??

The problems you describe are universal. My first litters this spring were adopted at lightening speed. Now the adoptions slow and the supply of kittens sky-rockets.
We do many of the things you mention, adoption every other weekend, Petsmart cages and Petfinder.com website picturing them all.
As for where they come from....EVERYWHERE! More calls come into the organization every day asking us to take kittens. We can't take them all, but we take as many (if not more) than we can handle.
Ans yes, I work with an organization (named One By One) because I could not do this on my own like some people can.

Aww, your new babies are gorgeous!
