Caturday - Foster 4

 Hello,

Welcome to a new feature on the blog where we share about our foster kittens and cats (when we have them). We are fostering for TNR La Peche (the same organization I have been transporting cats for spay and neuter for).

Last Monday evening, we got a call asking if we could take 4 kittens that were in a barn. We said yes and it has been kitten overload every since. These kittens never stop purring.

Introducing . . . . 

Austin - He is the oldest and only male. He is about 5 months old and weighs about 5 lbs. Austin is super chill and didn't even flinch at the vet getting his shots. He is going to be the perfect compassion for someone who wants a buddy to sit beside them on the couch and watch TV. He likes to be beside, not on people. He also loves to play and run and wrestle. 

Austin will be neutered next week

Phantom - 4 month old Phantom is a cuddle bug. She weighs in at 4.4 lbs and is the most vocal of the kittens. Phantom loves to give kisses. She does not love when Austin plays too hard. She got her name for her colouring, her grey fades to white and it made me think of a Phantom. 

Phantom the kiss queen

Friendly - She got her name because she is the lap cat of the century. Always pushing the others out of the way, this 3.14 lbs purr machine has a bit of a respiratory infection and fever. You wouldn't know it because it hasn't impacted her play. She, and her likely littermate Phantom will be on antibiotics for a week, to treat the sneezes.

Friendly

Last but not least - Miss California

At 4.5 months old, this 4.4 lbs beautify rarely stays still for a picture. She is the most playful, loves to chase toys, hold the others in headlocks to lick them and she is the biggest scratcher.  In the moments she is still, she does love a good cuddle too. 

As this is our first time, we are not 100% sure what the process will be. We will continue to love them, transport them for medical appointments, and provide care as long as the rescue requires us to. They are a joy. We will continue to share their progress and joy. I am so excited to have this chance to love them and be part of the journey. 

If you are wondering how Tigris, Styx and Lanie are with them - well the kittens stay in the cat room (where Lanie lived her first 2 months with us), and will likely continue to do os. Tigris will go hiss at the door, and Lanie has taken to spending more time in our bedroom but otherwise no significant change from the chosen 3.
