Foster Cat Fun!

In this post, I will talk about fostering cats. One day, in 2012, we had the idea of fostering cats - and having no pets, thought it would be a fun experience, plus it would be a good cause.

Our first group:
Our first foster group was a litter of four kitties, not as small as kittens, but also not fully grown. They were brown/white tabbies and all had different personalities. One was really sweet, and we named him Sweetsie. One was shy and had swirly patterns, and we named her Swirl. One had tiger markings, therefore named Tiger. Lastly, there was the kind of naughty one, and we name him Stinker. The shelter changed Tiger's name to Susan though, and they also changed Stinker's name.
Here is a photo of Tiger (left) and Stinker (right).

Our second group:
Our next group was two gray/blue kittens, that we named Angel and Buddy S. They were sweet and cuddly and super cute!

Third foster group:
Our third group was two kittens and their mother.
We named them BuddyJay and Buttercup. We fell in love with them and adopted Jay and Cup after fostering them. They are now almost three years old. It is slightly hard to believe, but BuddyJay is a gray long hair, and Buttercup is a tan/buff shorthair, and they are from the same litter. They are really sweet and amazing and adorable! They were only one month old when we got them.

Little BuddyJay - he was tiny and had an eye condition when we first got him.

Little Buttercup! She was an adventurous little one, but she was still wobbly on her legs when we first got her. :)

                                                       Cup and Jay now! <3

After we adopted BuddyJay and Buttercup, we took a little break from fostering, so we could monitor the kitties and slowly let them explore more rooms. Once we had had them for a long while, we started fostering again.

First cat (first cat not in a group): Our next cat was named Charlotte. Things were a little bit different with her, and all the cats fostered after her, though. She was fostered in my room, because the "kitten room" was made into a bedroom.
Charlotte was very sweet and loved to purr. She was about 1-years-old.

                                                                          Meow!!
Second cat:
Our next foster cat was kitten named Charlie.

                                                                          Purr!
He was such a cutie! Although, it's kind of hard to sleep when you have a kitten pouncing on you.
Charlie was a pretty calm kitten and loved to snuggle and play.

Third cat:
The next kitten was very hyper. He was cute, yes, but he loved to play fight with your hand or foot or anything and he was pretty naughty, adorable, but naughty. He just had so much energy.

                                                          Getting ready to pounce!

Fourth cat:
Our next cat was an adult cat name 'Jughead'.  Please know we did not name this cat - he was named by the shelter. I don't know why they named him that, all I know is I didn't like the name. Anyway, Jughead was very cute and snuggly. He did have a very bad cold/cough and so he needed care.

                                                                Mew. Aww, so cute!
Fifth cat:
Our next kitty was named Nala. She was very sweet and happy and cute. :)

                                                         She had such big, pretty eyes!


Fourth foster group:
This is actually kind of a funny story. We went to drop off the previous cat - Nala - at the shelter so she could be put up for adoption. So on the way home we were kind of talking about how we wanted some kittens. Well, we get home and a in a little while, the shelter calls. "Hi, can you take a mom and five kittens?". So we picked them up the next day, and they were so adorable! They were tiny and stayed in the crate for at least a day (probably more), because they didn't need to come out. They nursed from the mom and slept in the back of the crate. Only the mom came out to get food and water. Well, eventually, they came out. They were really cute. We fostered them during the summer of 2014, so our fostering was spread out.

                                             All of the kitties are piled up in this basket!

The kittens nursing from their mom. Purr!

So those are all the cats we have ever fostered. After the last big group, we decided to take a little break. Hopefully, we will be able to foster more soon! :)
