Foster

As many animals as we already have, we have opened our home to fosters from the local rescue Richmond Animal League. We didn't think they would consider us since we live in a townhome that only allows two cats and all other animals are not allowed. (We currently have 4 cats, 2 kittens we found outside that we are trying to find homes for, 7 ferrets, 1 dog, 1 sugar glider, 12 snakes, 12 rats, and some fish). We got a unexpected call this morning from RAL and they asked us to foster a 6 week old kitten. We are leaving now to go pick the kitten up. I'm excited. I've never done any fostering before, so this will be a first for me.

Once I have a house, I really want to do rescue. I want to rescue cats, dogs, reptiles, ect, and I want to adopt the older cats and dogs that have a lower chance of getting adopted because of their age. :)

cats are such nasty vermin. it is really sad how people have let their populations get out of control and then let them run loose.

they get introduced into ecosystems and destroy pretty much everything.

Sometimes i wish they would just destroy all the excess cats. This may not sound very humane, but i think for the longrun it would be for the best.

Wow and here I am thinking Humans are the cause of eco problems. Ha...it's CATS? That puts everything into perspective :rolleyes:

Don't listen to him! He's a fuzzy hater!

The little foster is a girl. She was treated for worms, earmites and had a vaccination. She's very cute, and they told me to come up with a name for her. I believe I am fostering her for two weeks.

I don't agree with destroying all the excess cats. All of my cats are so called "excess cats" and I love all of them. Miki I found on campus while at college. I wouldn't give her up for the world. She's my little baby girl. Tyran was adopted from RAL when I volunteered there in 2006. She's my "teenage" daughter. lol. And Ramman would die if he didn't have human interaction. He loves on you and grooms you every chance he gets. He's such a Mama's Boy.

I like the catch, spay/neuter, and release method as well as adopting out as many as we can. There are a lot of excess children out there in the world too, should we just kill them off since there are not enough families to take them in?

Ok, sorry, I'm just very passionate about my furry kids. I love them dearly. We got the little kitten her own little bowls and her own personal litterbox since she has to be kept away from our pets. She's technically feral, but very very friendly.

I heard that Al Gore said that cats are the root to global warming.

and whatever connie, at least i d not go missing for days to avoid people! oh touche!

I'm not a cat lover but that is a pretty bold statement!!!

Good for you Jay_Bunny. I hope everyone gets along well and that your heart is not broken when it comes time for the kitten to go to a permanent home.

there's that ego of yours talking again. Not everyone wants a piece of that pie my friend. :rolleyes:

She is quite the chatterbox. We are not attached to her....yet. We can't really afford to. We have 4 permanent cats as is, when we are only supposed to have two. We gave her a name today as foster parents are allowed to do while they foster. Her new name is Beijing. She is currently exploring the place but we have to make sure she doesn't come in contact with the other pets in the house. Pictures to come as soon as I find my camera.

Oh and I guess this could be moved to the cat section. *shrug*
