The Foster Kitten Project

The Foster Kitten Project The Foster Kitten Project rescues orphaned and abandoned neonatal kittens. In 2004 Jenni found her first kitten, Samantha.
(9)

All Adoptable kittens can be found on our website at, https://sites.google.com/site/thefosterkittenproject/available-for-adoption?authuser=0

Our founder, Jenni Riha, grew up in a rural area of Springfield, Nebraska. She graduated from Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in 2001 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. Samantha was found right after birth, with the umbilical cord was still at

tached. With no momma cat in sight, Jenni took Samantha in and cared for her. Samantha was Jenni's first foster fail. After continuing to take care of the occasional abandoned farm kitten, Jenni found herself fostering more and more. In 2014, The Foster Kitten Project was born on Facebook where she could share her happy, and sometimes heart wrenching, stories. In 2017, Jenni found herself desperately trying to reunite a neonatal foster kitten with the rest of his siblings before they were picked up and euthanized for being too small, expensive, and time-consuming to care for. This was when the true purpose of The Foster Kitten Project was born. Jenni wanted to focus on orphaned and abandoned neonatal kittens. In 2018 she earned the not-for-profit 501(c)3 status, and The Foster Kitten Project has been saving neonatal kittens ever since. It is important to note that each kitten costs roughly $250 to care for. This not only includes, food and supplies, but we make sure each kitten is
- Microchipped
- Given age appropriate vaccinations
- Dewormed
- F***l tested
- Virus tested (Including FELV & FIV)
- Spayed or Neutered

In 2020 alone, we took in and cared for 139 kittens and 5 pregnant or nursing moms. By the end of 2020 we successfully found loving furever homes for 119 of them. Please check out our website, thefosterkittenproject.org, to learn about

Mondays … Kitten of the Week!
Wasabi raised her 4 kittens and then was a surrogate mother to 3 more orphan kittens. She was an excellent mother. Now is she ready for her furever home. She loves to sit in her cat trees and gaze out the windows. She is very loving, loves a good head and back scratch. Would be best with older children.

Saturday’s Success Stories with the Foster Kitten Project!
Thanks to the Buchholz family for sharing Gemma’s story with us!

Our kitten is Gemma (FKP Kiki). We had found a young 2 week old kitten at the cemetery on Memorial Day weekend 2018. The human society wouldn't take a kitten that young, so we were bottle feeding her. I met Jenni at a booth she had at a small craft fair selling items for FKP. We realized we were both part of a greyhound facebook group. I told her we were having issues with our kitten (Clementine) biting and she suggested we foster one of FKP's older kittens until they obtained necessary paperwork for placing kittens, and to see if the interaction between the two kittens would help decrease the biting behavior. After three weeks of fostering, we decided to make her a permanent family member After she curled her tail in the exact same way as our previous tuxedo kitty. One of our granddaughters chose the name Gemma. (We did consider "Kinky Boots" due to her white paws, but Gemma seemed a better fit.) While she does get along well with Clementine, she REALLY loves her dogs, Fitz and Coco, and "chirps" to let us know they want to come in. She often touches noses with them and sleeps on the bed with them. She loves, loves, loves to play and will play with her tail if nothing else is available. She's definitely the "sugar" of the sugar and spice feline duo.

What is better than a ginger cat? Two Gingers !
Angus and Pepper Paul are 7 months old and filled with kitten energy!

Born on April 10th, 2024 the Lincoln sextuplets were brought to a local shelter at 3 weeks of age. This is a particularly difficult age to foster because they are almost too old to take the bottle and they don't know what "food" is. The shelter called us and they were placed in their first foster home. Within a week they were all eating food and transferred to their next foster home to eat, grow, and be very spoiled.
Now these two are ready for their furever homes!

11/13/2024

Wednesday Wisdoms with the Foster Kitten Project!
Today we want to congratulate 5 of our KITTENS and their Furever Parents!
Today we share 7 reasons to adopt a cat!

1. Giving a home to a cat who needs one: According to the Humane Society of the United States, every year 2.7 million animals are euthanized in shelters. Every cat (or dog or hamster or bunny) that’s adopted makes a dent in that number, and helps make room for another fuzzy friend who needs help. Adopt Don’t Shop!
2. Do it for the love: Adopting a cat means opening your heart to a new fuzzy family member, a beautiful new best friend, one that will fill your home with love, cuddles and two-way adoration.
3. Pets are good for your health: Again, because of the love. Animals have been shown to be emotionally and physically fantastic for their human parents. They provide a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and reduce stress and loneliness. Recent studies have shown that petting a cat releases endorphins and even lowers blood pressure.
4. They teach kids a sense of responsibility: A cat is a great way to create a connection between a child and an animal, often one they’ll both remember forever. And it’s an easy way to teach that while a cat is fun to play with and pet, he also needs to be fed — and have his litter cleaned regularly.
5. They’re independent: Cats are perfect for city-dwellers and other busy people because they can entertain themselves (though prefer to play with you). Make sure you still make time to spend with your fuzzy friend: They need snuggles and companionship, too. Though we’re guessing with an irresistible new friend, that won’t be too hard.
6. They’re litter-trained: Usually, and if not, can be taught fairly easily. Unlike a dog (though we have nothing against dogs, we love all animals), you won’t have to take your cat for a walk outside at the break of dawn or in the cold, dark and rain.
7. They’re endlessly fascinating creatures: Cats are gorgeous, mysterious little beings who are so much fun to play with, to get to know, to bond with and of course to snuggle with. Love all around.

Are you a Harry Potter Fan ? Then these kittens are for you! Eligible for the $75 discount!

Moody had a super rough start. He was septic before he even opened his eyes! He recovered! He isn't in pain but the septic arthritis made his elbow kind of wonky, so he's not as good at jumping as his sisters. He runs like a little bunny though! He's determined that it's not going to slow him down! He is most comfortable when he's sprawled out on top of you. He's a feisty little purr monster!
https://petlover.petstablished.com/pets/share/2058946

Cho is a mini panther, she's super tiny and dainty. She moves like a little dancer. She gives full body head bonks, in fact if you don't catch her when she's giving you loves she'll just fall over. She is an absolutely lovely pure black glossy kitten who is going to be a gorgeous cat.
https://petlover.petstablished.com/pets/share/2058948

Padma is a gorgeous kitty. She is just as silky as one spot. She loves to sleep in the crook of your neck at night. She is the biggest cuddler of the bunch. She's a talker, she even talks to herself when she's in the litterbox! She always brings a toy to bed with her! She is a super confident, friendly, loving kitten who will come to anyone who will pet her, and who could resist!
https://petlover.petstablished.com/pets/share/2058942

Parvati is the hunter of the litter. She absolutely loves toys! She loves to cuddle and drape herself across whatever of your body parts she can. She feels like silk! If she finds herself alone in a room she cries while she's looking for company, and honestly I think she needs either to be adopted with a sibling or to a home with a friendly cat.

Felius, Ursa and Bluebell are eligible for the $75 discount! Help us find them their Furever home!

Felius and Ursa were born in a shed in South Omaha. Neighbors took in the kittens for a few days but after learning how intensive the care was they called FKP. After some work the mother was found and reunited with her kittens in fostercare. They were kept as a family in fostercare until ready for adoption.
Date of birth 4/9/2024

Bluebell also known as POOTS (her foster mom affectionately calls her), is the lovliest little girl. She plays fetch and has a great time with other fosters. She does have a significant heart murmur which has not progressed but will need to be continually monitored throughout her life. See her full story on Wagtopia at the link below

He is dressed in his finest tux of black and white – ready for any occasion. Shane is a great guy and if you want to romp with him, he would love to meet you.

Zane has blossomed into a fine full-fledged member of the family! He continues to be very playful and affectionate.
