    fostering 3 kittens...PICS #22,#42,#47,58,70,#80-81, HS Website 88

    for the local Humane Society. The only room I can block off that my boys don't need to get into is my bathroom - so my friend who is volunteer coordinator for the HS said I should take the kittens as my bathroom will be bigger than the space they are in now.

    They are weaned, one is a runt...and I will foster them til good homes are found. HA HA HA HA!!!!

    Pics will be forthcoming. I wonder if I will find out what it is like to fail Fostering 101. A little girl kitty would be good for the boys....

    Good for you

    I have a friend who fosters for our local Humane Society. She recently had four orange girl kittens - and they all got adopted at an adoption event. Then she brought home three others, but only took them for a couple of weeks - she's headed out of town for a trip.

    She said she was surprised how difficult it was to give up the first ones when the time came. But as she divides her time between here and Florida, having another of her own would be difficult. The fostering satisfies an itch

    Hear hear!!! LOL

    Candace, I am sure you will enjoy fostering. Initially they need to be separated but over time, you can let them mix in, right?

    You didn't say how old they are at this point! And I am drooling in anticipation of the photos, so once you have them, don't delay, he hee.

    I did see that the CHS was overrun with kitties. Good for you for being able to help them out. What fun you and the boys are going to have!!! Looking forward to your photos.

    This is exactly why I have never fostered. I know for sure I would be a foster failure, no doubt about it.
    But I just love seeing others here be foster failures. Hee hee I also can't wait to see pictures. Kittens are so much fun. Although, I've never had more than one at a time either.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    They are so adorable. Have fun. I really just don't know if I can foster much more...I get too attached too quickly...it's fun while they are here but letting go can be so hard too but at certains it might be a relief to get things semi-back to normal but the joys of kittens are wonderful.

    You know - as cute and lovely as these three are (Giz actually mews to be picked up and held!), I love my big boys.

    I was reading the other day, with Oscar on my lap; he was purring with his green eyes half-closed - and, as he often does, he rested his chin on my arm while looking at me that way. AWWWW!

    I am in no current danger of failing Fostering 101. Maybe I just haven't met the right kitten yet....

    Little ones got out last night...Giz, of course, went her own way, exploring my bedroom. The two grey ones went down the hall and STOPPED as an Oscar Monster was there.

    Oscar sniffed noses with one of the grey ones, then hissed. He sat down again and hissed once more. But no hackles up.

    Not sure about the kittens' tummies yet. The poo looked a bit better last night, but not so much this morning or tonight. Gave them another dose of meds, and they have one more left for the morning.

    I decided it was time to move their litter box out of the way and get out some Melaleuca, hot water, rubber gloves and rag&scrubbie.

    Someone tell me - a main ingredient of kitten poo is Crazy Glue, right?

    So far, so good. Will try and get some lap pics soon.
