Elvis & Priscilla
On June 19, 2018 two new fosters came home with me. These guys were feral and nameless but quickly became Elvis and Cila. They started off terrified as expected but with time and love it didn't take long for them to become complete doll babies.
Meet Elvis & Priscilla.
One of the most amazing things through fostering is seeing how my own cats accept all these kittens coming in. My tomcat Mister Lily, is extremely dominant and was very wild in his youth. He was so wild his veterinarian said that not all cats are made to be domestic and he may have to be taken away if i came in with more scratches and bites.

Mister Lily also hated all other animals. He ripped a screen out of a window in my living room trying to get to a cat out in the yard. In the process I managed to stop him from escaping but he bit and scratched me pretty badly. So, needless to say, the idea of introducing kittens in the house was concerning.
I begin the process by isolate the kittens for about a week. They begin staying in a guest bathroom with the carrier they arrive with. The carrier is a safe place for them so I think it is important to keep that with them until they adjust. I spend time with them, slowly working up more time as they get more comfy.
After about four days they come from the bathroom and run around the guest room to play and have some space. By slowly acclaimating them it seems to really help, kittens like small places to claim as a 'safe zone', so slowly opening up more space has work wonders so far.

My cats are always curious and sitting impatiently outside the bedroom door, often crying. The curiosity of cats is very true!
Elvis & Priscilla adjusted quite quickly and became my favorite fosters thus far. They are so loving and cuddly, it is beyond what I ever imagined.
They sleep with me every night and both seem they were weened early and suckle on my clothing, ears, and blankets thinking I am their mommy.
Priscilla will come to me when she is sleepy, which is very often, and look up and me and cry for me to pick her up and hold her to go to sleep. I am completely infatuated with these two, they are the ideal kitties and someone will get so blessed with these two.
I kept these two about 5 weeks and they went back to the shelter to get spayed and adopted. The shelter actually called me back and asked me to keep them another week and of course I was happy to get extra time with them.
The only concern was in the mean time I had two more fosters, I had them a full week already and with the departure of Elvis & Priscilla, I introduced Monkey and Mookie to the full house. So now it is a crazy cat house with seven cats running around my home.
