Foster kitty update.

Awesome!! Good luck with the new fosters! You are great for helping so much!

Could you be convinced to take Ellie too?
She's so scared there.

I know you can only take a set number, and I love you for taking in those you can. You are an amazing person.

I feel so helpless, no means to help out... and my husband would kill me, as there is no way I'd let a kitty go after I had it for even a day.

I was talking with Kathy about them, when I dropped Blossom off for PetSmart (she is NOT happy there and BIT a woman who tried to hold her... how many ways can you say "Blossom doesn't like to be held and she bites.") So, don't know how long she will stay at PS, lol. She's a fiesty little shit, and needs to be able to romp. I was hoping she'd get to be in the big cage, cause there she can climb.

Kathy asked if I'd take another FIV, but I can't until I get some of the non-FIV kitties adopted. If I take all FIV and no one gets adopted, then I can't taken any cats at all!! I wish more people would take FIV+ kitties. They're just as sweet as non FIV kitties, and many of them are total lovebugs!!

Tomorrow is the day! I will be getting Zaney and Octavius (Skit was adopted YEAH!!)

And the best part, another foster is taking Little John!

AND The even better part.........Another foster is taking Taz and Ray Charles.

Can't wait to meet my new babies.

Congratulations on taking in new fosters, and many thanks for the updates on Taz and Ray Charles which I'm sure made Laura sigh with relief also. Did anybody take Daisy?

And, Jenn, I also wish more would understand the FIV+ are near normal cats. I was at the shelter where Dude came from today, and I visited the FIV+ room where I met a fairly new volunteer. She was amazed that I didn't isolate my FIV+ cats, and I had to reassure her several times that I was perfectly comfortable with their being with both kittens and the very old cats. She said she would use what I had said when talking to other people about adopting FIV cats, and hopefully she will stop using the term "feline AIDS" which is inaccurate and puts people off.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Jen, and don't for a second think that anyone is saying you should add taking in FIV+ fosters. You are constantly at the max between all your own beloved cats and your many, many fosters.

Oh believe me, I HATE the term Feline AIDS. If they are not aggressive kitties, I have no issue with them being with other cats. if they are aggressive, as some are and some "normal" kitties are, then they should not be together. It's pretty simple.

Can't wait to see and meet Jen's fosters!!!
