Ari came to me a little over a year ago as just another foster baby. Emaciated, ridden with fleas and shaking like a leaf. When the shaking didn't stop, I brought him to my personal vet. and he was diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia. I was told he would never be able to jump...never be able...
We have a new addition...decided to keep a foster I have had since 9-days old...Welcome Leo!!

Chucky w/Goliath
Don't ask Yes...Chucky is a male & no he is not lactating to my knowledge
Little ole' Chico...foster/rescue from kill shelter...snuggled up to his buddy Buster...
Chico (named after Taco Bell dog) weighed 8.5 oz. at 4-weeks...now he is a manly 1 lb. at 6-weeks old. I believe I may have a miniature foster
Anyone use goat milk for the little ones? I have been using goat milk for some bottle-feeds (rather than the normal KMR)...feel it is superior to human, cow & store bought formulas...but the little ones have diarrhea.
I have been following a recipe from the mfg. for kittens but now wondering...
2 little fosters at 12 days in age:
Libby
Leo
2 little chubby fosters at 4-weeks in age:
Libby

They grow so fast...Leo is adopted but waiting until of age to go home & Libby is still up for adoption on Petfinder.

Looks like Buster lost about 10 lbs. in fur Actually, it is rather strange... when Buster's hair is full, he seems lethargic & depressed and after he gets a haircut, he runs around the house & plays like a kitten. Great!!...I have a Persian that doesn't like being Persian
Can you believe 1-year has gone by? Dana (and Miracle) are celebrating their 1st year!! For those of you who do not know Dana..."a face only a mother could love" thread has her whole story & boy-oh-boy is she truly the ugly duckling that became a swan...has overcome so much For the Dana fans...
This very busy momma cat w/her 5 babies (all fosters)...one really isn't hers but lets not tell her Couldn't resist taking this pic....she looks like the blurb over her head should read "ay ay ay, can't they just latch onto one and settle down?"
My fav. of the bunch...Otto...such a juicy...
Need to spay my last fuzzy face (out of 12...big ouch on the vet. bill)...and Dana has finally gone into heat. I have been told not to spay a female while she is in heat and if that is true, how long does a heat last? My vet. wants to charge me more to spay her if she is in heat. Does that...
Time goes too quickly...our little Dana is now 10-months old!! Just wanted to share some recent pics. of her and can't wait for her 1-year birthday party (will post pics. of her from her rough beginning to present).
For those of you that do not know Dana (long thread entitled "A Face Only a...

Must share this miraculous story:
Ari came to me as a foster back in July & diagnosed with CH (cerebellar hypoplasia). I was told he would never be able to jump, would have problems w/litter box, food, water, walking, etc.
Ari, who is now 5 months old and no longer a foster (he is home &...
Just wondering if anyone out there has a kitten or an adult diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia?
I am fostering a kitten approximately 6-weeks in age (I've had him since he was 3-weeks) that was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Ari was brought in emaciated, covered with fleas and shaking...
My newest foster, Goliath seems to think Chucky (one of my adult male residents) is his mother Soooo cute & sooo sweet of my Chucky to be patient with this little one.
