We have become foster parents

20/12/11

We have been waiting for what feels like forever, but today we had a call from the RSPCA asking us to come and collect a litter of kittens to foster. Our first litter.

I picked up our litter of foster kittens today. 5 5 week old babies. They are all sooo gorgeous but boy did they stink! I had to drive home with the air conditioner on and the window open with 5 babies trying to escape their carrier.

This was going to be a great surprise for the family.

First things first, setting up th spa as their new home, feeding, watering oh and 5 baths.

Actually they were very good about the baths. Afterwards we let them dry off and nap in a warm bathroom.

It wasn't long until it was time for cuddle and an attempt at names.

Fluffy is the smallest, weighing in at 460 grams. She is gorgeous with a black and white body. She is very cuddly, loving being held.

She has a brother with similar markings, he hasn't got a name yet, just a nickname Mister Mister. He weighed in at 700 grams. He is also a bundle of cuteness, but aren't they all?

Tiger, another boy has been named by DH for his markings. He weighed in at 810 grams.


Monkey a girl, loves climbing and sitting on shoulders. She isn't quite used to people yet. She weighed in at 850 grams.

Then there is Blue. She is grey, ginger and white. She weighed in at 660 grams. A beautiful mixture of colour, and a very sweet temperament, named for her colouring she is very lovable.

They nap a lot, I guess getting dropped off at the RSPCA, checked over by vets and then going to a new home is exhausting.

Remember, these 5 babies will be up for adoption in a few weeks. If you fall in love with them through my stoires, please consider adopting one or more of them from the ACT RSPCA. You wont regret it.
