Looking back

We have an 'empty' house now.. Just us two humans and the seven resident cats (and yes, that can seem empty)   I brought the kittens back this weekend and was offered kitties several times over.  There was a pregnant kitty who really wanted out of the shelter and an incredibly sweet older kitty named Emerald.  She had piercing emerald green eyes.  She was also declawed, her fur was a mess and she had quite a few sores on her body.  I wanted to bundle her up and take her home and spoil her silly, but a) I'm leaving town and b) it would be better that her forever home does that.

I thought it would be fun to take a peak at some of the kittens I've fostered in August through the years..

Cranky Minerva and her kittens Crookshanks, Fawkes and  Hedwig. 8/2011

Jimminy & Cricket 8/2010

"Tilly" aka Kit!! :) 7/2007 (she was here in Aug of 2007 alone because her siblings all made weight and went back earlier, but I have so few pictures that month because I was dealing with Em and her cancer) 

Gizzy, Eliza and Kau 7/2005

Tweedle, Dennis, and Google and their mom Joan.  7/2004

Butterscotch, Ennui, Tobin, Kodi, Tigger.  8/2003

Melvin (Eli) Izzy, Scooter (Muffin) and Kodi (adopted then lost to FIP) 10/2002

A little scary but yet a little predictable that most of my 'foster failures' are end of season kittens..
