Kitten foster mum since June, 2018, currently for the Humane Society of Scott County, Iowa. We’re here just to share photos of my current and former foster kittens! #FosteringSavesLives Oh, and f*** that fascist felon. #FDT

This is Anastasia. I got her and her siblings a few weeks ago; I’ve been reluctant to share photos because she’s the only survivor (hence her name).

She’s a sweet purry little thing and the only torbie I’ve fostered. Happy #Caturday!

The Kitten$ Creek litter had a photo session at Francescon Portraiture this morning with pet photographer Lisa and her helper/husband, Dan.

I can’t wait to share her photos!

Photographer Lisa, reassures Moira, a calico, that getting her picture taken is fun and that dude behind her isn’t all that bad.

After given some instruction by Photographer Lisa, Dan tries to arrange all four kittens for a group photo.

L to R: Stevie (calico), Alexis (calico), Johnny (orange tabby) and Moira (calico)

I didn’t realize how unlikely it was for an orange tabby to be female until I started fostering kittens!

Aw. Orange and black… my two favorite colors of cats (that’s what I have). They’re always the friendliest, most affectionate and loyal.

I’m so sorry for your loss; it’s especially hard when it’s way too soon.

Johnny (orange tabby) tries to pick a fight with Stevie (calico) in the wrestling ring. Moira, also a calico, goes in for the attack.

Girls stick together.

Thank you. Even though his death is devastating, I appreciate you reminding me why I foster tiny kittens.

Sad news. Little David lost his week-long struggle to survive.

Losing a kitten his hard. Losing a kitten that came in when they were 9 days-old only to perish 40 days later is even harder.

Orange & white David, from 9 weeks to 49 weeks.

Oh, my god! David!

My first little bit to eat wet food has decided he doesn’t want to eat and has lost weight. I’ve been forcing him to eat with a syringe (he’s not a fan) and put him back in the incubator.

Of course, it’s a holiday weekend; we see the vet Tuesday morning. Send good juju.

David, a 7 week-old orange tabby with a white face and mittens, lays in the incubator.

It’s no surprise Johnny is the one eating; he weighs 5-11 ounces more than his siblings.

Five 6.5 week-old kittens (three calico, two orange tabby) wonder when I’m going to let them out of this silly play area.
