Newest kitty traveler

This is Aidan, our latest acquisition. We fostered a litter of kittens for a local Rescue that some cruel person abandoned in a parking lot. Poor kitties were covered in their own waste and fleas. Hungry and dehydrated they were bathed, fed and rehydrated, deflead, wormed and brought to my house. This is Aidan's litter in our Foster room at home and later in our RV. I fell in love with him and couldn't let him go when the Rescue picked them up. I only foster until the're old enough to be neutered/spayed.

He took to traveling like gypsy.

Aidan with his sister and 2 brothers. Someone took 2 of the litter before the Rescue got there.



Kitten foster room. Lots to climb and scratch on. :)



From day one they used the litterpans.





Aidan at about 6 weeks on top of a cat-cage looking over the plywood that kept them confined in that room, not the cage, until 8 weeks. After 8 weeks they get free run of the house.




About 9 weeks in the FL room and in the RV a few weeks later.







Latest pic in the RV. He's about 5 months old now.

    As a kid.......Then there was the kitten I named Int because he was always interested in what was right there at that moment. He looked very much like your little one.

    & when my father brought my Brownie Holliday pictures home from the photo shop, he'd say:
    "I wish you'd take pictures of something besides cats."

    I don't have handy access to a scanner anymore.

    :B

    What a neat set-up for fostering! Stimulating enough to let their energy and their little personalities come out. Aidan is beautiful like a calendar kitty. I would've loved to live next door to someone with a system like that, so I could come over and "socialize" (ie: play with) the kittens. Would be so fun.

    Definitely. Kittens need climbing and scratching and running and playing exercise. We spent a lot of time socializing them and playing interactive toy games with them.... fake mice and birds on elastic strings (keep away from them if not there to supervise. Kitties have strangled themselves with this toys on strings). We also have all kinds of toys for them. I was so sad to see them go when the woman came to pick the 3 up. The room was so empty. Poor little Aidan keep looking for them after they were gone. :'( It broke my heart. Those other two boys were vetted and were adopted together. The little gray girl was spayed. I don't know if she was adopted yet.

    It's fun and so rewarding. Not financially, but in all other ways.
