>^.^< The Kitten Story =^.^=
It all started when I lived in a neighborhood overrun with stray cats. They liked me because I feed them, they liked me so much they had their babies in my attic or garage. So I'd take them in and try to find new homes for the kittens as well as the mothers. I started selling on Etsy to create revenue to continue rescuing and re-homing these homeless animals. The rescue and fostering of cats and kittens fill my heart with love and determination to do the best I can for them.
2012 RECAP: Homes for over 30 kittens and six mothers spayed.
2013 RECAP: 43 kittens and 5 mothers rescued. 24 kittens adopted (5 kittens too young to adopt still).
2014 RECAP: Only found 6 new kittens this year and found homes for 10. The focus this year is to get as many of the stray cats fixed, and I think we got all of the ones that we feed, 6 females and 12 males. Without any new kittens I missed the pitter patter of little paws, so now I am also a foster mother of five for a great local organization called Second Chance Pets, they can not go to their new homes until their health checks out, they are old enough or weigh enough to be fixed and are micro-chipped.
2015 RECAP: Well I 've had sixteen foster kittens this year, 10 of them have found their fur-ever homes and I now have six still waiting. I take them to adoption day every Saturday at the Petco on Bay Area @ Space Center so stop by and visit when you are in the neighborhood. I have been blessed with customers whose purchases help to fund my animal rescues and fosters. Please have a big heart and buy from me for them.
2016 RECAP: This year I started with 6 foster kittens and Buddy, a cat I have been taking care of. I was able to foster 7 new foster babies and had 8 fosters adopted and Buddy making 9 by the end of the year. I also bottle fed 8 kittens, 6 that went to their own foster homes when they were eating on their own and two I got to foster.
2017 RECAP: I started this year with six cats/kittens 2 of them belong to me and 4 are foster babies. I also have had 12 new cats/kittens fosters, 10 adoptions and one sadly passed away. Personally, it's been a tough year especially with Hurricane Harvey and a few health issues, but I have a good feeling for 2018, So if you have room in your home and heart, please adopt a homeless animal from a shelter or rescue group.
01/01/2018 UPDATE: I still have my own two cats Gatsby and Annie and my current fosters are Possum, Mao and Mr. Nosey, Mama-Mia and Persia. Possum has been in the rescue program since 2015, Mao is still a big scarred cat, Mr. Nosey like his mom, Mama-Mia are full of love and want only to be near you and petted. Persia is my newbie but I'm sure I won't have her for too long. She is a beautiful Snow-shoe kitten who purrs as soon as she is picked up. So let's make this a great year for these and my future cat and kitten fosters.
01/01/2019 UPDATE: The 2018 final count, I fostered 24 cats and kittens this year, 4 kittens passed away due to a URI all in the same week, it was a very sad time for me. Which left me with 20, four of which were carried over from 2018 and Mao who is STILL too scared of everything to show on adoption day. So I start 2019 with four fosters Yen a beautiful calico cat, her son Chan a very soft solid black kitten, scaredy-cat Mao and Rudolph a feisty little tabby I got when he was only 5 days old. Of course, I still have my two cat's Gatsby and Annie (seven if you are counting). I will remember 2018 as the year with the most Vet visits and teeth extracted. Three of the cat's needed dental work one of which was Gatsby and his bills so far are over $1000.00 and it's still ongoing. So with that said, let's make this year the year I remember as the most income to help support my hobby of "collecting" cats ;-)
