It's a bonus when I can call a foster parent from the shelter and say, "There's the cutest little fluffy guy here that you'd LOVE...." and before I finish my sentence, she says:
"SURE! I'll take him and one other one to keep him company." (Thank you, Susan!)
I feel like I won the lottery. I went in for ONE cat - came out with THREE:
Anybody who reads this blog knows that I'm not a newbie with regards to cat-related chaos on the road. But this little grey guy that I rescued today was SOOOO sad to be in the carrier, that he kept slamming his face against the cage. Drool was flying all over. I decided to take safety into my own hands....literally: (Hope this makes you laugh!)
What I didn't say, is that this guy was soaking wet from pee. Of course, now *I* smell like pee too. This 12 week old kitten was SO happy to be in my arms, he sighed, started to purr and went completely limp. I just couldn't put him back in that carrier.
Happy Friday....Yes, indeed - it's a Happy Friday :)

Hmm how can I shorten my story... Adorable brown tabby foster kitten about ten weeks old... he had lost his siblings because of distemper. He and I played a game where we look at each other, then I pretend to hide my face and when I look again he's moved closer to me. Lots of fun eye contact involved. He never got distemper but because he had been exposed to it the shelter and I decided to get him ready for adoption in smaller steps. First I took him in for his shot. On the drive home his carrier door faced me while I was driving. He started to make a 'fuss' and got worse as we went. Next time was to take him in for his neuter and again back home to recover. Again he was making a fuss in his carrier. Then I realized, it wasn't that he hated being in the carrier... I wasn't playing the game with him! Silly me was watching the road and not playing.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story Beth, and all the wonderful good that you do!
Beth: It was our absolute pleasure to have these two sweeties come here today. Thank you for rescuing them for us. They are both adorable.
