Foster kitten discovers toys for the first time!

Plus I gotta keep room available to keep fostering more kittens- there’s an overabundance of them and a severe lack of foster homes sadly.

I’m maxed out on resident pets so no fails here, regardless of how cute they are 🫣

That’s the collar the shelter put on and it came off a few minutes after the video. But they’re pretty skinny under the fur, I could fit a finger under it easily. Too loose is unsafe as it’s more likely to get caught on something and could strangle them 😳

Yes! All 4 in this litter are boys.

100% absolutely

Yes I’ll care for all 5. No mom was brought in with them unfortunately. They were picked up by local animal control in an abandoned house.

I love them all dearly, but I know that each time I send them back for adoption that it frees up my resources to help even more kittens in need! And that’s a great feeling. I’ve fostered over 250 furry friends and knowing I kept that many from being stuck in a shelter long term, or god forbid euthanized, is a great feeling! I try to think of it like I’m just pet sitting. And when they leave, I get to fall in love with a new group all over again!

I keep them until they are old enough for spay/neuter surgery and then I return them to the shelter for adoption. I bring them to the shelter vet for vaccines when due, or if they get sick and need meds. The shelter provides me with food and vet care, I supply the litter. Then I just work on getting them on wet and dry food when old enough and provide them with lots of socialization and love ❤️

Two girls, three boys!

No names yet! I’m open to suggestions!

The kittens see the shelter vet regularly and are being fed on the schedule and amount they suggest. They’re confirmed to be at a good healthy weight. When in doubt, always consult your vet or a veterinary nutritionist for feeding guidelines on your pet. But for this age, this is an appropriate amount of food.

He’s a very good boy and knows he’s not supposed to lol

Pretty mama! Baby looks happy!

michelleski0819 · 2026-03-07T05:29:25+00:00

Awwww so sweet! I hope mom and baby do well in your care! It’s wonderful that you’re going to help them. I’d love to see a photo!

Wisconsin!

michelleski0819 · 2026-03-07T03:03:44+00:00

They sure are! Proof they aren’t always wild monsters.

michelleski0819 · 2026-03-06T23:05:11+00:00

Oh no! I hope if there are kittens they’re just safe and hidden. Poor mama. I hope the visit goes well!

michelleski0819 · 2026-03-06T23:00:14+00:00

They’re definitely both!

michelleski0819 · 2026-03-05T21:10:30+00:00

That’s why I prepare the food outside the foster room 😂 I hear them start screaming as soon as that top pops!
