You hang on to her Donna! You've obviously proved that you can foster out so I don't know why they'd be in such a rush to have her at the shelter. The space could go to another cat that needs a home.

Jen,
Her full name now is Matushka Grace, Mattie Grace for short.
I too believe that a home is the best environment for kittens to be born. There are alot of rich brats who use the shelter as a "playground", running all over the place. I don't want that for her. Between you and me, I think the ACO saw "KITTENS!!!!" I've decided she's staying right here with me.
I don't even want to THINK about her testing positive. Besides, she looks VERY healthy. I'm confident she won't.
I'll keep ya posted.
And The Found Cats,all love her,she has such a sweet ,little face!
Even if she tests positive could you try to find her a home as an only cat? FELV cats can live very long happy lives if given the chance.
Cass,
Absolutely!!!! But if she tests positive, it probably means her babies will too. Don't worry though, I've got TONS of people that'll help me find homes.
:D
I'm surprised the ACO would want the mama and babies at the shelter. Our local no-kill shelter is always desperate for foster families for pregnant mamas because they get too stressed out at the shelter. I sure hope you can keep Mattie and her babies with you for a while.
I WAS JUST CATCHING UP, I LOVE THE NAME MATUSHKA:D :D GREAT CHOICE!!
GOOD LUCK ON THE TESTING!!
WOULD YOU PLESE POST KITTEN PICS IN CAT GENERAL?? I DON'T WANT TO SPACE IT:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Lucky cat to be saved by you.Thanks for being such a wonderful kind hearted human being.I love you for doing this.Carla
I, too, am surprised at a shelter insisting on wanting a pregnant cat to give birth there, as opposed to the current foster home . . . odd! Sounds like Mattie-Grace has the optimum environment to bring her new little lives into this world, and I hope you will be able to witness the wonder of it all. If they are FeLV+ it is not the end of the world . . . my two FeLV+ adults are otherwise healthy with no apparent problems and they are several years old now. Blessings to you and her and the little ones!
