THE BIG 5-0

Come this November, I will have been fostering kittens with *VOKRA for almost 4 years. To date, I have fostered 14 batches of kittens ... some with their mommies and some without.

Today, I have hit a milestone number: the BIG 5-0. My 50th foster kitten is a frisky little tuxedo kitten named Dugan, and his beautiful mom, Mrs. Fitz.

KITTEN #50
Dugan at 11 weeks old - Aug. 27/17

The Oh-So-Captivating, Mrs. Fitz

This mom and son duo are so sweet to be around. Mrs. Fitz loves to be brushed and will walk circles around your leg while you brush her beautiful mane or makes biscuits with her paws while you brush her while she is laying down.

Dugan loves (and I mean LOVES!!) to play with his cat string toy. The minute he sees me pull out the toy, he's jumping all over the bathroom to catch it. Wait until I introduce him to the laser light! He's going to be exhausted from all the running back and forth that I'll make him do trying to catch the darn light.

Dugan has been vaccinated already and Mrs. Fitz has been spayed, so we are just waiting for a potential adopter to fall in love with them both and hopefully take them to their forever homes.

It's just a waiting game now. Hopefully not too long of a wait.

ADOPTED: CHATTANOOGA & CHOO-CHOO

My little TV stars have been adopted by a wonderful Brazilian goddess! Well, that's what I thought of her when we met her and listened to her wonderful Brazilian accent.

Of course, my TV stars were dressed to impress in their little bow tie and yellow ribbon. The poor lady didn't have a chance. The kittens were just too darn irresistible. My mastermind of a plan worked!

She's never had cats of her own ... just coveted her neighbour's cat in her childhood. So, these kittens were will be perfect to both familiarize herself with general cat behavior and to keep her company for those long days and nights that her partner is at work (he's a top chef at a newly opened French restaurant).

Enjoy the hours and hours (AND HOURS!!) of playtime and cuddles with these kittens. I miss these little fur balls already, but I am 150% confident that they have found their perfect forever home.

TV STARS

Chattanooga and Choo-Choo were featured on our local news station this afternoon.  *VOKRA was being featured in a segment that highlighted the work that the organization does for cats and kittens in the Lower Mainland.

Chattanooga was very relaxed with Coleen Christie, while Choo-Choo was a mischievous little rascal, jumping off the lap of Jay Janower and strolling around the news studio.  The poor meteorologist, Yvonne Schalle, had to chase Choo-Choo around the studio to get her back in front of the camera. You could tell that Yvonne is not used to being around cats just by how she picked Choo-Choo up.  It was funny to watch from the side lines.

As you can imagine, I was taking tons of pictures and videos from the peanut gallery.  My husband said that I was like a proud mom ... a proud foster mom - that I was.  My foster kittens were on TV!  I had to capture the moment for my fostering posterity.

Of course, with Chattanooga and Choo-Choo being featured on TV (and looking absolutely smashing with their bow tie and yellow ribbon), I knew there would be a lot of interest in adopting these two cutie pies.

Why not take a nap while we're waiting?

BATCH #13 - THE TRAIN HAS ARRIVED

My newest foster kittens are an 11 week-old brother/sister combo, each with a gorgeous mane of fluff and an underlining silver coat. They are simply gorgeous!

I have taken over fostering from their previous foster who is going on holidays at the end of the week. She has had these kittens since they were 3 weeks old, bottle-fed them until they were 6 weeks and states that in her 12 years of fostering, these kittens by far have the best and sweetest dispositions.

I have been advised that these kittens were found at the train yard on a train that came in from the Prairies.  So, they were dubbed the 'train kittens' on their intake forms. So, I thought it only appropriate to continue with the train theme.

Chattanooga (Male)

Choo-Choo (Female)

As you can see from their pictures, they have beautiful faces ... kind of reminds me of a panther.

These sweethearts are purr monsters as well. As soon as you come into the room or pick them up for cuddles, they will start purring almost immediately. I love them already.

I've got to spend a few more days with them to figure our their respective personalities before I can write their biographies for the adoption page.  In the meantime, I've arranged for their vaccination tomorrow evening and hopefully they don't have any adverse reaction to the vaccine. They'll be ready to go up on the adoption page as soon as next week if all goes well. Fingers crossed!
