In all the years that I've been fostering, this has got to been a first. There are too many available adopters and not enough available kittens to be adopted. Even Mama Pasta has a waiting list of 10-12 people. It's a great situation to be in. VOKRA even stopped accepting applications because the list was getting enormously long (I was told it was in the hundreds).
As soon as my kittens were vaccinated, they were all scooped up by eager families. My two panthers were adopted together by a family whose father had the exact same first & last name as my brother. I was surprised that they were willing to adopt two panthers as most people prefer kittens with coloring. The family knew this fact and were perfectly happy to adopt black kittens as they are always the last to be chosen from a litter - rarely the first. Cannelloni and Ravioli are now Sesame and Mochi.

Two of my tuxedo kittens went to a retired couple who had been waiting pre-Covid for kittens. The husband is a retired doctor and the wife is a writer. They have all the time in the world to play and cuddle with these two. I get frequent updates by email with accompanying pictures, which I'm so grateful for. This is one of the pictures that the new adopters sent me. They're so big already!

Baby girl Ziti was adopted out as a buddy kitten to a family that had a resident cat at home. The husband was set on Ziti as soon as he saw pictures of her, while the wife left it to whichever kitten choose her. Of course, with Ziti being so friendly and sweet, I wasn't surprised that they fell head over heels for her. Just look at that face! Ziti is now called Minou.

We're just waiting for Mama Pasta to be spayed and then she'll be getting a new home as well.
