So...all of my fosters have gone to new homes as of today. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy but wow, never thought I'd miss the hustle and bustle of a full house this much.
Just a little backstory: I fostered a mama cat and her 7 kittens for nearly two months. Mama came pregnant with her next lot of kittens (another lot of 7 ) which we made the heartbreaking decision to abort. She was severely underconditioned, had bloody diarrhoea, about 18months old and this would have been her third litter.
Luckily, all went to new homes. Two went to separate homes and two people took pairs. And mama cat also found a loving home, which I am grateful for.
If you pay close attention to those figures, that makes 6 kittens, not 7. I had a foster fail, my first one. The smallest boy of the lot kinda of just chose me. He formed a special bond with my current cat, and he followed me everywhere. I couldn't bear to part with him, not knowing what he faced in life. So Alfie joins the family.
But I miss his brothers and sisters too.
So to cure my empty nest blues, I would love to hear some of your foster stories, fails or successes.
Haven't fostered? Tell me what made you choose your kitty.
Looking forward to it!
