And this is Clementine. She's pregnant, and we're thinking it's still early, so probably another month until her delivery.

And Polly wanted to say Hi!! She's our latest foster fail. She's a diminutive poly-dactyl with a big personality. She loves sleeping under the covers and licks your nose raw because she knows that's how you give affection!!

Once they are vetted, and have their shots, we bring them into pet stores that work with our rescue when they have room. From there they get adopted. Generally they get adopted fairly quickly, it's quite surprising considering the amounts of cats and kittens sometimes.

My wife insists on final approval of all adopters, and the rescue stresses strongly that people adopt at least 2, unless they have a friendly cat/dog that will be company to the new cat/kitten.
When people adopt them, part of the fee goes to spay or neuter, which we insist on, and need proff of the procedure being done.
It can be a little taxing at times, but it's fun, and keeps us busy.

do you ever do Periscopes or YouTubes of them? lots of fosterers are doing that these days. brings a lot of awareness to people. brings lots of eyes (and possible adopters) to your precious fur babies too.

This was last year.
These are just the kittens at the time.
All the adults(our personal 4 + I think 3 other adults at the time) got different food so they're off somewhere in the house.

I sit too close to someone who has animals and I have to use my nebulizer. I'd have to be like Bubble Boy.

And those are lucky cats and kittens because of you.

They also happen to be beyond adorable.

Such cuteness overload! We love the Yeoww! stuff, we have that rainbow! Their toys are just so overwhelmingly pungent, they are always a favorite. I love how they are just chock full of 100% catnip and it's the most stenchy stuff too.

Good luck finding these beebers forever homes (I am sure they will find homes!) ?

They are so adorable!!

What beautiful mommies and babies. I have a case of kitten envy right now (I'm patiently awaiting a cat cafe opening in a nearby town).

I suggest this for them. Perfect for them to attack
