Just make sure you say NO if someone tries to get you to take any, or you'll never go on your trip

No fostering here. We can take them if Chris is doing the fostering.
Time is flying by and I have too much to do here this summer.
No way I am not going on this trip. Not going is not an option.

Kritter - that sounds like an exciting trip! Nice and long too, so you don't start to get into the relaxation mode after a few days and then have to start packing to come home.
What happens to the older regular cats at your home? Will someone care for them or are you boarding them out somewhere?

What happens to the older regular cats at your home? Will someone care for them or are you boarding them out somewhere? My friend, Linda, will be taking care of them. She will come by once or twice a day and clean litter boxes and make sure everybody is still alive. I told her I would get a cat sitter but she said it will hurt her feelings if I do. My job is to get everything set up so it will the easy for her. The only ones that she will probably see are Kenya who will be nagging her for canned food and Tanji, the one in my bedroom, who will be lonely.

Feel free to let Linda know I'll be happy to be a backup if for some reason she has to miss a day.

Thanks! I will give her your number just in case. I fell into the black hole of compression socks for the plane ride this afternoon. I need to take a break and get some mulching done in the front.

You know you're going to buy the ones with cats on them, so why look at any more?

Pepsi and Posey have been adopted. Now it is Pansy's turn. She is the buff colored one.
ETA: Pansy was adopted this afternoon. All of these 6 kittens were adopted within 48 hours of being at the Humane Society

The adoption fee for kittens is $150 so that pretty much weeds out people who don't see the kitten as a long term family member.

Looks like the next foster opportunity had arrived. Momkat and 3 kits at a construction work site. My foster, Chris, is on her way to pick them up as soon as she gets the address.

The poor Momkat looks rough. I'm so glad that she'll be getting some help with her kits!

Yep, looks like she has had a hard time recently. It will be baths, flea meds, and dewormer times 4.

Poor momcat. She deserves some TLC. I hope she can be socialized. She looks like she's going to be really pretty once she's cleaned up and fattened up.

Mom got flea meds, Droncit, and Capstar for fleas. The kiddos all got baths. They are around 5 weeks old.

Mom, Greta, is very sad because the kittens would rather play then cuddle with her. She is very vocal and complains to Chris that her kittens are being disrespectable.
Gypsy is the calico. Gideon is the lighter one and Gigi is the wannabe Snowshoe.

We took the dad of these kits into foster yesterday. The people who saved this family brought him over to Chris' house so she could get some good pics. He and Greta had a great reunion. I think they were glad to see that each other looked healthy and safe. Greta went right up to him and then showed him around her house. When I saw them together and how they reacted to each other, I am thinking that they are brother/sister. Greta Toby

We adopted out Gigi and Gideon to great homes over the weekend and Gypsy was accepted at the Humane Society this morning.

LOL My Gypsy is a rockstar kitten. Lil diva girl was adopted 3 hours after she went into the cattery and was the only cat out of 27 that was adopted today. Wasn't even there long enough to make any friends or take a good nap.
