It's true. Never thought I'd attempt to do this, but I took in a foster. I just couldn't tolerate seeing her at the shelter, and then to hear she's been there a year. I had seen her attitude change, she got depressed, I think she was tired of being at a shelter even though it was a nice one.
So, I checked to see if I could be a foster parent, and I am eligible. So today I brought home Ms. Kitty. She looks a lot like Mason, a little more orange and a lot heavier. She also has some urinary issues, might be one of the reasons she hasn't been adopted in a year. Poor baby.
My girls barely notice she is here. Evie sees her but just watches her. Bailey is too busy chewing her bones and playing with her toys to care that a new cat is around.
Mason and Ms. Kitty are buds, and Nikita is being her typical self, staying away and hissing at everyone and everything. We all just ignore her.
The biggest adjustment so far for me is that it has been a very long time since I've had a cat with front claws. I worked the kitty cages tonight at Petsmart for Cat Haven and while I was at Petsmart bought some of the cardboard cat scratchers for her. She liked them at the shelter so we'll see how she likes them at a home.
You can see pictures of her at CatHaven.org under adoption under Ms. Kitty.
