Introducing the newest member of our family - Mu Shu. He is the foster kitten that stayed! We have had him since he was four weeks old (I bottle fed him). His brothers went to their new homes on Saturday, but he is staying with us. He is very strange looking - black/white on top and grey on his back with tabby stripes. I hope his color stays!
Our family has been fostering kittens for Philadelphia Animal Control/PSPCA for the past year. Formally know as PAWS, it has been their goal to pull the adoptable animals from the Animal Control, foster and adopt them out. Up until 2005, only 20% of the animals got out. Now it is about 60%. We are helping to raise that number!!!!!
Remember, there are plenty of good pets waiting for you at your local shelter. Check them out before you goto a breeder or pet store. Help make shelters no kill!!!!!!
He is so cute! As a huge cat lover I have three myself. One from Phiadelphia SPCA, one from Montgomery County SPCA, the other was from a feral cat colony outside of my old job. I caught three kittens and took them home and socialized them. Of course I ended up keeping one. I have often thought of fostering cats, but I know how hard it was to give up those other two kittens.
ReplyDeleteWe have been good so far! My kids very bravely hand them over to their new adoptive families (with some tears). This little guy got no responses, while the other two had 7! He really liked our adult cat and dog, so he is still here!
