You may have to start a Go Fund Me account to support her Cat Nip habit.
Maybe you can make a calendar for the vet. The dog people may complain . . . they'll just have to come up with their own cute pictures.
What a shame about your friend's hand. :-( I hope she heals well and no infection. I guess Polka is a family only kind of cat, but as long as you know that and let everyone know then it's fine. Great that you are able to keep her.
You certainly have a huge pile of calendar material from your photos.

Me either. This picture ought to win a prize of some kind. :lol3:I just can't handle this cuteness.
I think that came out a bit nasty. Certainly not intended. I was attempting to be humouress.

lol! It didn't sound rude at all. I got a good laugh. She does sleep with me. Sometimes I think she's really just waiting until I fall asleep so she can push me out of bed but luckily, I weigh more than her. 
yea. I keep treats in my nightstand now so I don't have to get up and grab them at night. 
LOL I thought my cats were spoiled! Treats in the nightstand. I love it!
Awww my baby Rayne looks a lot like the white kitty <3
Really though, what precious cats you have[emoji]9829[/emoji]

yes she does. We call her tongue her happy meter. The farther out it sticks, the happier she is
How adorable! She certainly looks happy - what a natural and gifted mother she is. I love that she is sleeping with you (and tries to push you out of bed of course, LoL).

Also, I'm very excited to announce my plans. After all the heartache recently, my mind keeps wandering to all the pregnant cats who are immediately euthanized upon entering our high kill shelters. Those babies and mama are never given a chance because the shelters just don't have space or funds to take on all of them. I spoke with our vet today about getting this current litter in for spay and neuter and I asked them if they would discount me on spay/neuter, rabies/leukemia vaccines, and parasite treatments if I chose to take in 1 pregnant mama at a time from a high kill shelter. They said yes! 45 for spay, 35 for neuter, 15 for rabies/leukemia vaccines! So, after these kittens are off to their forever homes, we are going to start our own rescue. Maybe with time and a little luck, we can even get a 501.3c status and receive help with food and litter through different companies. For now, I can afford the costs on my own though. I'm sure I'll spend my life on this site with a billion questions but I feel good about this decision. It will save a lot of lives and ensure the kittens being adopted out will never be bred.
You, my friend, have a heart of gold, or should I say halo, because you are an angel!
It wouldn't take long to incorporate as a 501c3. You would need a mission statement, financial plan, and a board of directors. You could start out as an LLC and switch over later. And there is nothing to prevent you asking for donations from companies in the meantime if you can provide copies of letters from your vet and the shelter you are working with.
I just got very excited for you! I love the way your mind works and every ounce of your enthusiasm and energy!
Oh, and the kitten pictures are calendar cute! There's one way to raise money - make and sell calendars of your rescues!

Awwwww...... Thank you. im no angel though. I just never knew how much fun kittens really are when they have a mother. I get to enjoy them, socialize them, teach them and watch them grow but I don't have to have the around the clock responsibility. Although, I realize that's still a possibility with any litter of kittens. They completely melt me though. As far as selling calendars, that's a great idea! We know multiple people who have adopted kittens we fostered through our vet. I talked to a couple of them today and they said our kittens would be fought over so I don't think we would have any problem homing them. I'm not sure what it is about our home, maybe the constant flow of people, or array of animals, maybe the non-stop attention.... But there's something that causes kittens in our house to take on a very relaxed, almost dog like personality and people want them. It makes sense to use that to our advantage and give these kitties a chance!

You set that tone in your home with the way you operate and your open attitude!
Polka is one special cat. You are truly an inspiration, and what a wonderful ambition and proposal to put to your vet. Where you find the time and energy I do not know but go for it.
Calendars, cards, book marks, you name it: your photographs would be great for any of these, and I am sure you could raise some funds that way.
