More fosters!



We took-in 18 cats from one household. That's right! And all of these cats come from one single mother cat that they "meant to spay." I know they really meant to - but didn't get around to it.. and a year and a half later, they already had to give away two litters of kittens and we ended up taking the year-old litter, the 8-week old litter and a 1-week old litter of 7 kittens. Yikes!



So far 5 kittens have found homes.. but none of the adult cats. Strange. And sad.

Bob the cat



We rescued 19 cats from someone's home the other day - and Bob is the only one being fostered at our house right now. (Of the 19, 14 are kittens.. and 7 of them are only a week and a half old now!) These guys are the most socialized fosters we've ever had! They like kids, rabbits, dogs, adults, you name it. . . they're as close to a rag doll as you can get without actually being a rag doll!

I'm not kidding. They are easy-going, purrrrry and they hang when you hold them. I just love that. Bob has an orange tabby brother and two solid white brothers - all up for adoption. Videos and photos coming soon.

They're all malnourished and anemic from the fleas.. but after only two days in foster care (flea treatments and better food) they're feeling better and it shows!

Beautiful Jezabel

What a beauty!



We found her on the side of the road a few days ago. She's not spayed, of course, and seems like she's coming into her heat cycle. Hooray?

Honestly, we're not usually around this sort of thing since everybody is spayed or neutered as soon as possible after we rescue them. So, she's been... let's just say, interesting.

Spay is scheduled for next weekend - and hopefully we'll get a few interested adopters soon. She really is a beautiful, fluffy, cuddly, sweet girl!

I just realized we haven't taken many pictures of her yet! Sheesh. I'll have to get right on that.
