Awww, how sweet! I think fostering kittens is so wonderful–but I don’t know if I could do it, I’d probably end up adopting them all! It looks like Rainy found the purrfect forever home!

If I were rich and lived in the country, I suspect that I would have a hard time saying “NO” to every rescue that came along. As it is, three cats and a dog make for a full and lively household. 🙂

Oh, how sweet! So glad you adopted Rainy….I love the name, LOL. (It’s my nickname). Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST

Rainy was discovered after a storm. Hence, the name. My husband gave it to her. How did you get your nickname?

I have a feeling that if we fostered a cat or a dog, we’d end up adding the animal to our family! Sounds like you have the same problem.
Rainy is a beautiful cat and sounds like a sweetheart too.

One thing I like about how fostering worked out is that because we adopted Rainy through a no-kill shelter, they provided us with a lot of support. They took care of initial health needs and have told us to contact them with any questions.

Rainy is lovely. Good for her to keep trying to make friends. Our daughter has a rescue cat and has fostered feral kittens. Luckily the kittens were all adopted, but her cat Brave remains a work in progress. He is a good for her, now that she is alone after a divorce. Cat therapy!

I found it of interest that your daughter has fostered feral kittens. About a year ago, I started to volunteer with a Trap-Neuter-Release group and became passionate about helping feral. My husband and I are even fostering an adult one.

What a great story! A happy ending for all. I don’t think I could foster an animal and give it away. I’d love to get a cat but have a dog who absolutely hates them, so now isn’t the time. That’s a great picture of Rainy lying on your side as you read.

Our first foster, a silky terrier, hated cats. When the time came for our annual vacation, after we had fostered for a few months, we asked for someone else foster him so our cat could have some peace. Gizmo gave my husband such a heartbreaking look that after vacation, and no permanent fosters came forward, and so we decided to try again. Ultimately, we adopted him, making Gizmo our first foster fail. Although we don’t regret that choice, any future foster dog would have to like cats. 🙂
To be honest, my husband and I aren’t sure yet if we’re cut out to be fosters. As much as we know that fosters are needed, we have now twice decided against letting an animal get adopted by anyone else. I guess everyone helps in their own way. 😉

What lovely photos. Cats do have such unique personalities.

Currently, we have three cats. Cinder typically acts disagreeable about human touch. Bootsie can’t get enough of it, except no hugs please. 😦 And Rainy just wants to play, snuggle, and do everything. Yes, cats are unique!
