Well this is it. She's going to the shelter in the morning.

I swear, she has been so nice today. I didn't feel well and she cuddled
up on my chest while I laid down all afternoon.

I got her stuff all together ready to load in the car, and she went
over and sat on the turbo scratcher, looked so cute I took her picture.
She looks sad in the picture though! It about makes me cry.

PLEASE continue purrs that she gets a foreverhome with somebody who
will put up with her nonsense until she grows out of it.

Awww... I'm sorry it's Angel's day to go to the shelter :(  I always cried
when it was that time with my fosters.
Does your shelter have a kitten room?  I found that helped little
destructo-kitties like Angel.  They got to hang out with other kittens and
sometimes would find a playmate that we would try to adopt them out with.

Awww, she's *adorable*!  I'm sure she'll get a great forever home.  I
love that tent you have too.  I think Vino needs one of those :-)

Aawww, she does look sad. She had a good thing going there with you.
We'll be purring that she finds a forever home that's almost as good as
her foster home (couldn't be better).

Awwww!  Purrs for a forever home for Angel, quickly.  She looks sweet (even
though we know she's often not).

sriddles@aol.com - 01 Aug 2005 07:28 GMT
Whoa. I better clarify something.

Angel is a foster kitten. She is going back to the shelter because she
is old enough for adoption.

I just got two e-mails from people I don't recognize. I think they
think she is my cat that I'm taking back to the shelter becasue of her
"nonsense."

I wonder sometimes how many lurkers we have that never post. I bet it
would surprise all of us.

They must not read an awful lot, since it's pretty well known that
your house a revolving door, or maybe part of an underground railroad.

Awwww, she does look sad.  We're sending big rumbly purrs that she very
soon finds a forever home where they love hoolikittens.  It can be a
surprise how rowdy they can be!  I know that you are wise in the way of
kittens, but I wasn't expecting it when Mike was tear-*ssing around.  I
thought kittens were sweet little purring puffballs who took a lot of
naps.  HA!

All our kitties know what it's like to have lucked upon someone to love
them, and can be counted on to provide their very best purrs for the
little darling.

I thought kittens were sweet little purring puffballs who took a lot
of
naps.  HA!

When we got Speedy Joe (RB) our first furball we were not wise to the
ways of kittens or cats generally. So Rusty the guy who had his mum
brings in this box containing kitten (I had already been very impressed
by the volume of noise coming from the box in the journey over someone
asked Rusty what he was doing with the poor kitten because the noise
was designed to tub at Hoomin heartstrings, I was fully expecting when
the box was opened to find something the size of a small-ish tiger!)
and says "Got any milk?"

My answer of "Nope we drink our coffee black" worried him somewhat

"For the kitten" he said probably wondering what he was doing letting a
poor defenceless kitten (Okay anyone who ever knew Speedy Joe wouls
have never used the word "defenceless"- we once had our next door
neighbour knock to ask if her doberman could have her bone back only
our cat had stolen it!) stay with us

We muddled through somehow

Awww, she's got a lot of stuff for a little kitten.  I'm sure it will
be sad for you.  I hope she gets her home right away, she's awfully
cute!

Big purrs that she finds a forever home PDQ.

Claudius sez hoolikittens are the bestest and should be treated
accordingly.

Honestly, Sherry...there is no way on earth I could be a foster mommy.
I'd never give them up and then I'd have 487 cats roaming around my
house. Thanks for doing what you do!!!!

That's Bosley the Grandcat. We have temporary custody of Bosley.
Probably permanent custody. His Daddy got him when he moved out on his
own, then started driving a truck and Bosley was spending days at a
time alone in an apartment. He loves Grandmother's house :-)
Bozzy is just over a year old and already weighs 18 lbs. He's a poster
child for those big orange male love-sucks we talk about.

Yes, and I remember not thinking there was much hope for Bosley to ever
act like a little gentleman and now he does.
Well, its done now. I took both cats + stuff and just got back.
The stray kitty did fantastic. She sniffed and purred around and rubbed
on the cage and didn't act distressed in the least, making friends with
a cat in the next cage.
Angel just got verrrrry verrrry nice. She was quiet and still but not
really scared-acting. Just wide-eyed and quiet. She certainly didn't
hiss or try to terrorize the other cats though.
I'm not as upset as I thougth I'd be. They seem fairly happy and I
think their chances are good.
But thanks to all for the emotional support. It does make a difference.
Just when I start thinking "this is so stupid, I am so stupid for
getting so attached to a cat when I've got too many already", I can
always count on you all for support.

Well, that's weird. I typed an answer, but it didn't show up.
We stopped on the way to the shelter at the vet's. The ELISA test came
back negative. Yay! The sores around her mouth that I was so worried
about turned out to be just scabs from an injury. I was afraid they
indicated sores inside the mouth, but it was clear. She got wormed, got
the first kitten shot, got treated for ear mites. The vet said as far
as she could tell "She just needs some groceries."

Poor little thing! She does look a little like she's saying "I promise not
to do X again!"
I hope though that she'll find a WONDERFUL forever home with people who love
lively kittens. She's a very cute little thing, which always helps!

I don't know how you could part with her....two years later we still
have our bits.  Bright Blessings to you for doing this.

Aww, she's so adorable, and has so much spunk. There's hoolikittenism
just oozing out those fuzzy little ears of hers.

Sherry, I don't know how you could possibly do it. I couldn't give a
fosterling back after falling in love with them (and falling in love I
would - thats why IBKFergus is with us). I *know* its in there best
interest to be adopted into a foreverhome, but I'd be just too selfish
to let them go. You are a very brave woman, kudos to you (and allt he
other fosterers out there, you have my utmost admiration to be willing
to go through heartbreak after heartbreak to ensure that the
fosterlings get the best they possibly can in life)
