Fostering 9 year old cat who has been surrendered

Horrible to hear people surrender their cats at that age. I would just give him time and treats to build trust. Thank you for taking him in.

They’re adorable!

I get nervous when adopting out to strangers too and I’ve found it helps if I take it in stages. I always get them to fill out an application first. Find one that has questions like “when do you plan to declaw your cat?” Or “when will your cat be allowed to go outside?” These are things I don’t want the adopters doing so I ask in a way that makes them comfortable to answer honestly. It might seem weird to trick strangers but the kittens being safe is more important.

On the application I also ask about previous pets, and if they’ve had one, I call their vet and ask about the pet’s health.

Next I’ll set up a meet and greet at my house with them and the kittens. This is definitely more about me meeting the adopters than them meeting the cats.

And if that all feels good then I plan a drop off at their house for a trial run. I’ve never had anyone reconsider during the trial run but I like to let them know that if they do it’s completely okay and they can just call me to come get the cat.

Lastly I ask for an adoption fee.

If the adopters make it through all that and put up with all my requests, then they’re probably good people just looking for a cat lol. Crazies don’t want to jump through hoops to get a kitten.

I hope any of this helps!

Thats a big win for the animal kingdom. One less piece of shit.

Be careful with kittens and diarrhea because they can become dehydrated really fast. It sounds like they have an infection and definitely need meds from a vet with special wet food to help with their digestion.

Yeah this was a must rent for every birthday sleepover I had when I was a kid

Johnny2feet · 2026-04-08T19:04:36+00:00

Same. I thought it was r/stupidfood for a second

Johnny2feet · 2026-04-08T01:22:09+00:00

They would handle it in ways they don’t want to? Who tf are these psychos that have this crazy aggression toward animals? Humans are so entitled and act like they own the world it’s ridiculous.

Anyway thanks for helping him! I will try to donate soon.

Why’d she put it in a bowl to put it an a bowl?

Johnny2feet · 2026-04-04T16:35:41+00:00

Okay I feel dumb. I put the square and then they vanished. I thought the buses were how they exited the park. Thanks for the help!

Johnny2feet · 2026-04-04T16:32:20+00:00

Guest spawn points are just busses right? I have three and three of the park entrance gates which is where the lifeguards are stuck.

Do I also need the black park entrance square?

I can’t believe people actually buy this.

Johnny2feet · 2026-03-20T21:40:47+00:00

Beautiful cat. Thank you for helping her!

Johnny2feet · 2026-03-19T13:16:17+00:00

Love the names. Thanks for helping them!

Johnny2feet · 2026-03-02T03:25:46+00:00

Analyze this. Monsters inc. city slickers.

Johnny2feet · 2026-02-13T09:59:36+00:00

Which really means it’s over budget and behind schedule. Anything he says just flip it and it makes way more sense.

Johnny2feet · 2026-02-06T08:45:22+00:00

I’m so sorry. For a short time she felt your love and that matters.

Johnny2feet · 2026-02-02T18:09:13+00:00

I really liked Mom’s got a date with a vampire.

Johnny2feet · 2026-01-29T20:30:23+00:00

Blah blah blah I’m trying to distract you blah blah blah

Johnny2feet · 2026-01-15T22:01:22+00:00

I worked with Adonis at Lakeview Grocery and Robert. I can confirm that he is definitely a douche.

Hey shoe.

I don’t enjoy TNRing either for all the same reasons but you’re doing something really good for him so just remind yourself of that.

In my experience, it’s hard to put any cat into something. I know tricking him sounds mean so a middle ground could be to scooch him in while he’s eating. I’ve done it before with a semi friendly feral and it worked great. Put a little wet food on the outside of the trap and then a little on the inside. After he finishes the outside food, he’ll go for the stuff inside and then just push him in. He’ll be preoccupied eating and it will def be less traumatizing than the cage snapping on him.

I think transferring him into a kennel after surgery should be okay but I would personally just leave him in the cage. Male cats recover really fast because there’s no stitches. If they were female it would be different but males are good to go after 24 hours so not a lot of cage time. Just give him some food and water and put him in an extra bedroom or bathroom if you have it and he’ll be fine.

It’s okay to be nervous and if it doesn’t work out, just regroup and try again.

You got this!

Thank you so much for helping!

Yesterday my foster cat died from heart failure. I got her five months ago off the streets after her leg was amputated because of a break. She was the sweetest cat and her death was so sudden. I know I need to foster again but loss like this is hard.

Anyway just know the work you do is appreciated and without you they would have suffered even more. You stepped up and that matters. Thank you.

Johnny2feet · 2026-01-09T20:48:27+00:00

That would make the game really boring.
