I always have ...Oh, what wonderful, wonderful news! I always have such an internal struggle when it comes to the moms and babies. I want so badly to help, but after the experience we had with the momma cat that terrorized my 7 pound maltese for 8 weeks, I know it's not fair to my dog in our one bedroom apartment. We don't have a cat of our own just so we can foster now. <br /><br />I was glad to be able to take in the two orphans this week, but my heart broke for that poor momma being kept away from her babies and I had that internal conversation...maybe this momma would not climb out of the play yard when she saw my dog sleeping and go terrorize her, maybe this mom would be used to dogs....you know those conversations where you try to outrun your own common sense.<br /><br />Thank you, Debbie for having the heart and dedication, and Beth, you are fast becoming an unsung hero to me for what you do everyday!Lisa Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912962452420446179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-34123691287829550002010-06-04T19:20:41.631-04:002010-06-04T19:20:41.631-04:00Diana: Well said!

Ozzy didn't just have a foster mom who loved him and will grieve for him; he had a wonderful foster dad too. As you know, I was out of town on business during Ozzy's very sudden downturn, so my husband was the one who actually took care of him, and nobody could have done better. My husband stayed up into the wee hours of the morning comforting Ozzy and encourating him to drink because he could sense that he was scared, was late to work due to the vet run the next morning, and called the vet during the day to check up on him because he was really worried about that little champ. As much as I wish I could take credit for the love and care that Ozzy received in his final hours, the credit belongs to a wonderful man that I have the privilege of rescuing cats with.Diana Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802313401469161711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-81024573308256962622010-06-04T15:17:10.232-04:002010-06-04T15:17:10.232-04:00Amy: Please email me and I'll give you the ful...Amy: Please email me and I'll give you the full scoop!

Just wondering (I've been talking t...Hi Beth, <br /><br />Just wondering (I've been talking to someone who might be interested in fostering, with a little more arm twisting) is it a possibility for a foster cat to be tested for FELV/FIV prior to placement in the foster home, or would that be the foster parent's responsibility? Just wondering, in case it turns into a longer-term foster, and the foster parent has difficulty keeping the foster cat in isolation from their own cats.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005747877187465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-47743280731749862842010-06-03T21:53:01.650-04:002010-06-03T21:53:01.650-04:00I, as well, lost 2 foster kittens....it is so toug...I, as well, lost 2 foster kittens....it is so tough, but at least they knew love.<br /><br />I am so warmed to see the pic of those 3 weeks old....TOO cute!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069117326093443006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-76560843275692039172010-06-03T19:27:18.346-04:002010-06-03T19:27:18.346-04:00Oh how I hope your special blog is about rescuing ...Oh how I hope your special blog is about rescuing the torti mom and her babies.<br /><br />A part of me wishes I lived closer so I could foster them but then I recently took in a feral/stray mom and her six feral babies. <br /><br />As for the poor new foster mom... it is hard and it is very sad. One of the best "cures" is to take in another kitten to warm your heart again.<br /><br />BeckyA Cat's Talehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928142610736808107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-55523525951014953992010-06-03T19:26:04.918-04:002010-06-03T19:26:04.918-04:00Those before and after pics are priceless, its ama...Those before and after pics are priceless, its amazing what a little love can do, if more people knew what we do, the world would be a better place :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-38553911972685584952010-06-03T19:22:28.945-04:002010-06-03T19:22:28.945-04:00Oh those babies - and Clementine - are adorable!!
...Oh those babies - and Clementine - are adorable!!<br /><br />Big hugs to the foster mom who lost a kitten. It's so hard - I lost that whole litter of sickly black littles, plus the wee newborns with that nasty infection. And nearly lost a couple of momcats. It's awful, and stressful. But all of those kittens would have died alone, unloved, and cold if TCR hadn't rescued them. Instead, they got a chance, and a million cuddles and kisses. And the two momcats wouldn't have recovered and gotten wonderful forever homes. So that totally balanced out on the positive side of the chart. I never want to lose another one, of course, but we give them a chance they wouldn't have without TCR (and your) work. <br /><br />ReneeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-82488455756837145592010-06-03T18:18:18.128-04:002010-06-03T18:18:18.128-04:00Beth, your blog has had me so emotional lately and...Beth, your blog has had me so emotional lately and this one is no exception!
