They are here!! (And EXCITING news)

[jenluckenbach]

The new fosters are here.

I (temporarily) have Fritto. 9 year old boy who came in place of Little John. L.J. has an URI, and was still in isolation and could not be released. Fritto is a VERY confident boy. Walked right out of his carrier and had dinner.


I have Octavius, who will now be named 8-Ball. He is a gorgeous long haired boy who will be in need of some grooming. (now isn't it lucky for him that I happen to know someone who can do that for him? )
He took a liking to Cameo instanty, but then decided he needed to hide out under the couch for a while until things settled down.


And I have Zaney. Much more inmidated by all the newness than I expected, but I real sweet boy. But Finn (who was so terrific with all the other cats) took an instant DISLIKE to home. I tried to get a photo of Finn's bristle brush tail, but they did not get.
Zaney:


Now for the best news ever. But in order for the miracle to be truly appreciated, I must start at the begining.



So here is the story......

"N", the driver for the shelter, called this morning. She was intimidated by the Nor'easter (super heavy rain storm) we were getting. She did not want to let the cats down But was afraid to make the drive.

When "N" reached the shelter to get the cats and determine how the driving was, "S" was there at the shelter. "S" just happened to be going to Easton (the city we were meeting in). So "S" said she would drive the cats for the rendezvous.

The drive from the shelter to Easton was 1 hour. During that 1 hour Taz (the 18 year old cat) busted out of her carrier and rode the entire way at "S's" side. "S" informed us that she wanted to permanenetly adopt Taz!

WOO HOO!!!!!

A miracle in the making!


"N" was afraid to drive, "S" just happened to be at the shelter at the right time, And Taz found her new forever mom.

Anyone else have goose bumps???

OH, one more side note.. As you read on Taz's bio, she is deaf. "S" is a sign language teacher.

What great looking Kitties!!! I am covered in goosebumps, after reading Taz's Story! WOW!! Such a happy and perfect ending!

[Lizzie]

Thank you for letting us know the wonderful news about Taz, that's a great relief. Your fosters are very attractive cats and you chose my favorite colours - black, tabby and tuxie.

The e new fosters are looking so great. And the Tax story, wow! I am coninutally amazed here on PT as to how cats seem to land with the "right" person. It gives a warm feeling, doesn't it.

Jen, your new fosters are adorable and will hopefully find their forever loving homes soon.

The story you told us about Taz and "S" gave me LES. What a wonderful story with a very happy ending. I've always believed that things happen for a reason and Taz and "S" were meant to be together.

Awe... how sweet!!! I love the pic of Octavius!! Good thing he didn't come to me for grooming!! Speaking of... Jorgie told me he needs to be scheduled in shortly as he's matted by his ruff and on his belly a little bit. Still a shit about letting me groom him... Sigh!

Zaney is adorable!!!

I actually am getting a new foster, lol. I'm taking in Zachariah from the shelter. ALL 24 POUNDS OF HIM!!! Joyce is afraid he's not eating. Hmmm... a diet might help, lol. But seriously, we're worried about fatty liver if he continues to not eat. He misses his family terribly, and this is the 2nd time they've dumped him at the shelter in the past 2 months. Unless they take him back permanently, they are NOT getting him back from me!

I love the story of how Taz chose their new owner! It's wonderful.

The kitties you brought home to take care of are so sweet. I hope you have a lot of success with them. Give them all some extra love from me.

AWWWW Jen, what lovely fosters you have there and that story about Taz is very heartwarming. Enjoy your life Taz. You picked a winner for sure.

[momcat]

Those are a group of beautiful kitties, Jen. How lucky for them to have found you to be their foster! These guys are in for more love and caring than they ever knew possible.
That's quite a story about Taz! Things like this confirm by belief that our pets choose us. Wishing Taz many years to enjoy the love, care, and the life every kitty deserves with his new furever family

[K & L]

OMG Jen what a perfect story! You've got to feel proud, happy, excited, teary, all in one! Wonderful work.
