It's been a wildly crazy morning - picking up kittens, delivering kittens, and delivering our special pregnant girl "Marney" to her foster Mom. The staff at the shelter said she was sweet, but I wasn't prepared for how incredibly adorable and sweet this little girl is!!!
Marney has been at the shelter for A MONTH in a tiny cage. I can't imagine what it's like to be pregnant and have so little space, fresh air, stimulation or even a reason for living. But Marney is just adorable! As usual, the sound of my own voice makes me cringe)
If you didn't notice, I guess I got a little distracted during the rescue. *sigh* That little fluffy calico and grey tabby just about killed me. I should've taken all of them and I'm already regretting it as I type this post.
Apparently, I had missed a FAWN at the shelter by a few minutes. I think people forget that Animal Services provides OTHER important services other than "killing cats and dogs".
Anyway, I'm very grateful to the foster Mom that came forward to save her life and also very grateful to the volunteer that pointed her out to me. It's been an emotional day as I always feel drained when I leave the shelter. I'll look forward to when my house sells and I can foster again.
There's just too many that need help....but I guess you already knew that.

I'm so happy for Marney. Why don't they put those kittens together so they have each other as company. I can never figure out the lack of common sense in people. Deb
Beth thanks for the video - she looks to be in good shape with clear eyes and friendly behavior.
Wonder when she will deliver - she looks bigger in the video than in her pictures.
Your cheque is in the mail :-)

Beth, please tell me you are going back for those kittens and will not leave them behind. I swore I would not foster kittens but if it made the difference between them living and dying I probably would. I am TNRing a colony now and have already rescued 11 kittens that are in foster homes, it seems endless this time of the year.

Robin: I have a feeling after this blog post they'll be rescued tomorrow. Don't worry - I won't let them die. I've already had a foster parent willing to take them. LOL
