I love fostering moms with kits. Mom does all the work and I can just enjoy the kittens virtually labor free.
The last one I did was lovely Kiera, who came to me with two kittens. I was overcrowded when she showed up, and every other kitten who was staying with me decided that poor Kiera was their long lost mom, too. Sweet and patient Kiera just mothered all of them.
After all of that the shelter decided that Kiera wasn't up to their standards and rejected her and her two original kittens, Riddick and Vannay. I managed to place her boys with a nice local family, but Kiera is still waiting for her forever home. In the meantime, at least her kitten raising days are behind her and she enjoys long sunny naps in my cat room.
Here's a shot of Kiera buried under her brood, natural and adopted, and another shot of Kiera today, spayed and brood-free.
