On the way back I received an urgent call from a foster Mom. She had come home at lunch to discover one of her kittens was "flat" and sick. The poor guy had a horrible reaction from a vaccination and had been on IV - the vet thought he was better and let him go home yesterday. The kitten thought otherwise and became seriously ill again.
I was nearby the foster Mom's house so I picked up the little guy who was wrapped in a lime green fuzzy blankie and drove to the vets. Seriously...there aren't many things cuter than a black kitten in a lime green fuzzy blankie. I glanced down at him in my arms and he looked so pitiful and sweet. It's been a long time since I made a "scary drive" with a sick kitten in my arms. I was all prepared for my explanation to the police officer that would end up pulling me over for speeding. :)
Under the title, "The Reason Why I Do This", here's a BEFORE picture of "Snow White" at the shelter:
There's no place like home....there's no place like home...there's no place like home.

I'm with you on Snow White's "after" picture. She looks ever-so-comfy and relaxed. Yeah
OMG, what a sweet picture of Snow White. Thank you for all you do.
Now, that's contentment. I'm worried, one of my fosters is very sick, at the vet, and I have jury duty tomorrow. I don't think sick kitties constitute a reason to get out of jury duty.
Oh, bless her little heart. You know I have a 'thing' for white cats so her after picture brings tears to my eyes. I love each and everyone but those white ones.....what can I say.
Yep - that is contentment. We hope the baby is doing ok - mom has made those drives before and thought the same thing...it would take a hard hearted police officer to give a ticket to a woman with a kitten in her arms while crying. :)
LOVE! How precious!
I just found out about your adoption event and I am very sorry I missed it. I have left a voicemail for you today as my daughter and I are looking to adopt 2 kittens. I do hope to hear back from you soon, Jennifer
