Melissa,
I'd very much like to talk about your fosters! How
old are they? How did they come to you? One, (among many), of the
heartbreaking aspects of my bottle babies being diagnosed with FeLV, is the
fact that I won't be able to foster any more tinnies. I love being
surrogate mom. My trouble is I'm great at rescue, great at
rehabilitation, lousy at adoption. It takes me all of 2 minutes to
become completely attached. It's so hard to let them go into the
world. They don't even write!
Where about in NJ are you? I
found my husband in NJ, we now live in CA.

I am in Bergen County, Hackensack. I have five fosters who are about
5 months old now and are all black. I have had them since they were about 7
weeks old when they started hanging out on my terrace during a rainstorm--their
den got flooded by the downspout positioned in front of it, so they went for
high ground. I caught all but mama cat and took them in. I didn't take them to
the shelter since it was the height of kitten season and when I had them vetted
and they turned up positive, I knew I was in it for the long haul. Once they
have recuperated, I will be flying two of them down to Joy Eubanks at the Marley
Fund who is making room especially for them, since they are losing their foster
situation with me due to housing. Then in a few more weeks the remaining three
will make the trip. Let's hear it for the Marley Fund! Buy their Calendar!!! http://www.marleyfund.com
I know, it's a shameless plug, but they have been so amazing to do this.
Anyway, I have been keeping a web log of the kitten happenings, including
their pictures. You can see it here:
I would attach a photo, but I am not sure it will go
through.
