Fostering kittens - You can do it

I do not know the protocol, so when he called, I just said I would do it. The woman in charge is off till tomorrow or Wed. so they won’t call till then. They had a desperate post about being overwhelmed with kittens on Saturday on FB so I called and left my phone number. I expected a call Sunday and didn’t get it. I believe this location is closed on Monday and Tuesday. I doubt I will be able to pick. but if they are overwhelmed…
But then again, I do NOT want to be a foster fail. I already have 3 cats, with one being a ring tailed bitch. If they will bring me a crate and a smalllitter box I will be fine.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an orange cow kitty. Seems like they are always black and white. All the gingers I can think of are either solid orange or tuxedos.

Calico mama is gorgeous!

The orange one has super kitten 'tude, lol!
They’re both so cute but mom is the real looker of the family.
Have fun with them!

Oh the orange one is super sassy! My husband has now fallen in love and I’m pretty sure we’re going to fail at getting rid of him!

From what I’ve been told by other ginger owners and from personal experience of having 5 gingers…I can wholeheartedly agree.

Ginger cats are super duper sassy…but their bark is bigger than their bite!

Your dog looks like a kind, patient soul. Was the kitten trying to nurse on the dog?

The dog is HORRIFIED. :joy: She was initially terrified when he first arrived and would run into the other room to hide with her tail between her legs if I carried him anywhere near her. But kitten goes for babysitting at her best friend’s house, and that dog licks him all over so he comes back smelling like her bestie. Now she’s willing to at least kiss him and is very excited to see him when he returns home.

He makes a beeline for her every time he gets a chance to walk and it makes her very nervous. She leaps away like like she’s being scalded if he touches her or waves his paws at her. That photo was taken in the moment of dawning horror when she realized he was going to touch her tail. :scream:

Awww… I hope soon she tolerates him half as much as he loves her… makes me want to pick him up and kiss and hug him.
