Favourite Foster Foto Friday

We take a million billion photos of fosters when we have them. These are some of our favourites of the Blossom babies- Jimmy the silver tabby, Poppy the tortie and white and Holly the tortie.

Milestones

Generally, we have the fosters until they are over a kilo, which is the weight at which the shelter will desex them. Sometimes the ones who need a bit more socialising will stay a bit longer.

This last weekend, Jimmy Blossom reached a kilo. The girls weighed in at 900grams. We wait until the lightest of the litter is over a kilo, then send the litter back together. At the rate they are gaining weight, we think they'll be ready next week.

Baby Seamus reached 500grams! His cold is clearing up. He is still a bit sneezy, but his eyes are looking really good now. He is such a brave little boy, and is getting along really well with Jimmy. When they were crated on Sunday while their room was cleaned, the two boys spent the whole time cuddling. It was very sweet.

Our wonderful friends at Sumac Stories were kind enough to give us this lovely award.

It came with a guide for passing it on:

Happy almost Finally Friday, everybody!:)

A Partial Absolution!

Hello to you on this fine day! Do you know why it's fine?


Because I have been absolved of this!!

It was this little baby kitten here! He will try to trick you with his cuteness, but don't believe it. He is a peeing machine.

And guess what else!!!! Guess who else has been caught in the act!!

This little ladycat here, who goes by the name of Holly Blossom!

And to think I've been copping the blame all this time. That makes me the scapecat. Shocking.

Time For A Proper Introduction

Hello!

My name is Holly, and I am the bravest Blossom. As such, I have appointed myself as spokeskitten of the group. Poppy and Jimmy are far too sooky to communicate properly, so it really is a necessity!

We were born in a foster home, and are part of a litter of five. Our catmum wasn't in great shape, so the decision was made to seperate us a bit earlier, to try and give her the chance to get strong and healthy again. Because it would be tough work getting five kittens socialised well and caught up on their cat manners, the decision was made to split us into a group of three and a pair.

The good news is that the foster home we were born in is going to be our catmum's forever home, which we think is very cool. The unwed mothers can have a hard time getting adopted at the shelter when there are so many fluffy kittens running around.

We were weaned onto crunchies and stinky goodness prior to being seperated from our catmum. Poppy and I are also good with our litterbox, but Jimmy likes to have a wee on the blankets. He is a bit of a silly boy sometimes!

We love playing with toys, and have so much fun wrestling and fighting with them. Our felt mice are particular favourites. I have a new love for toilet paper rolls, too.

Poppy and Jimmy also have fun playing with each other. Our foster mum suggested including these for your viewing pleasure.

I guess they are kind of cute together.

Hold on...

Hahaha you tell her, Jimmy!

And they wonder why I've taken on the job of keeping them in line... silly kittens!
