Sweet Miss Jingles' enucleation surgery was successful and she has been cleared for adoption!

This sleek beauty looks spectacular in her shiny black coat. Now that she is no longer in discomfort, she enjoys playing and is very quickly adapting to the world around her. She enjoys exploring new things and her confidence is growing daily. Most recently she has mastered the "up" part of stairs, and is working on going down. It won't be long before this gorgeous 4 month old is running and flying through the house with ease.

Spayed, all shots up to date, microchipped, tested, dewormed, no fleas, 100% litter box compliant, good with cats, kids, and adult hoomins. Blind (must be indoor only).

Contact Fosterlings by text or phone at 610-329-4266. She is waiting for your call.

10 month old Miss Crookshanks barely counts as special needs, despite being mostly blind. Both her eyes remain scarred by severe infections, but did not require removing. She is not in any pain and her eyes do not bother her.

Miss Crookshanks is a very loving, active, playful, beautiful, rare orange female. She is spayed, all shots up to date, microchipped, tested, fully vetted and ready for a family of her own.

For several years I've been struggling to answer one particular question: What makes a calico a calico, and why are they usually female? This morning while browsing the internet I came across an article (citation below). The author, Gabrielle LaFrank, provides an amazing explanation that I wanted to share:
------------------ >^^< ------------------
"You may have heard that calico cats are always female—and it's almost always true! The vast majority of calico cats are girls because of the way this coat type is passed down genetically. While females (both cats and humans) have XX chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes. But did you know that the X and Y are the shapes the chromosomes actually make? This means that each X chromosome has one extra 'leg' to store genetic information compared to the Y chromosomes.

Here's where things get interesting: female cats have an extra gene for fur color on that extra leg of their second X chromosome. When a cat is female, the gene for either black or orange fur will be located there! Because male cats don't have this, they can either have the gene for orange fur or black fur.

There are rare cases of genetic abnormalities that result in male calico cats, but they're almost always unable to reproduce. However, they tend to be just as healthy as any other cat!"

(From a Pet Helpful article by Gabrielle LaFrank, "Unique Coloring of 'Orange Tuxedo Calico Cat' Has People Stunned". Seen on Yahoo! 1/30/2025)

MISSING CAT: POTTSTOWN

This beautiful girl got out of her home on Wednesday (1/22/25) near High and Evans St. in Pottstown.

Her name is Luna. She is an adolescent (not quite two years old), no microchip, and not yet spayed (so she may be out partying with the local boys).

She will run from strangers, so please do not chase. Please contact her owner at 484-292-4014 (text or phone) if you have seen or have any information about Luna. Her family has an appointment to spay and update her shots.

It's very cold out there. Let's get this little girl home.

Miss Juno is placed.

Cats are cats, no matter what.

This sweetheart is Mr. Riot. He has moderate CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as Wobbly Cat Syndrome). We received a wonderful donation of food today and it didn't take long for Riot to claim this box as his very own playground.

Mr. Riot is one of four sweet CH cats available for adoption at Fosterlings he is two years old and fully vetted.

Call or text 610-329-4266 for more information.

Congratulations to the newest Fosterlings Graduates, Miss Penny and Miss Pearl! These two sisters will share a young family with two sweet girls and a mom and dad. I'm sure the kittens will have them wrapped around those little paws in no time! Many adventures await.

I got these questions this week:

"Why don't you have any kittens available for adoption?"

"What do you do with kittens that don't get adopted?"

"How old are they when they stop being kittens?"

"Why can't you get more kittens for people to adopt?"

"When will you get more kittens in?"

"I want a kitten, but I want a really tiny one, with all its shots and already spayed, tested and microchipped. Why do I have to wait?"

This is Miss Rogue. She was found at 4-months old in a locked icebox full of ice. She isn't holding that against anyone. Miss Rogue is what I call a "Velcro" cat. She would love to be part of your family.

Rest in Peace.

Taco succumbed to a very aggressive cancer 1/13/25. He was happy and comfortable to the end. He climbed into my lap and I held him forever. He quietly crossed the rainbow bridge, in my arms, surrounded by love.

Sometimes the tears just won't stop falling.
