Mama Michelle & Angel Annie’s Foster Home

Fostering cats with my angel from above My companion, Annie, crossed the rainbow bridge and it was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever experienced.

I decided I would foster cats in her memory. Before she came into my life, she was found with nine kittens, seven were three-weeks old and two were newborns. The newborns were thought to be orphans she took in. She was the most selfless cat I’ve ever met and overlooked many times. Had she not had a foster home available, I would have never had her in my life and I want to give other people and cat

s the same opportunity. She taught me so much in the short time I had with her which is why she’s included in my fostering journey: Mama Michelle & Angel Annie’s Foster Home. My personal Amazon wishlist is here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/GGF2XKXZS6X3?ref_=wl_share
Any excess supplies will be shared among other fosters

Louise is checking twice that she’s not getting coal

Exactly one year ago, she was first spotted on the streets by her finder

Louise got early Christmas presents from her finder Rachel! She won’t have to worry about her meat tube supply for a while and she has a new catnip toy to wear out!

11/26/2022

We visited Louise for Thanksgiving!

I think she remembered me. I held her and she let out low growls. I had a meat tube left in my purse so she of course got a treat.

One of her dog aunties managed to eat all of her food…twice. She came in and out of her room to join the party several times. She really is social, just on her own terms.

She goes on walks every week. She gets playtime everyday. She’s still very chatty and bossy. She yells for her grandparents to let her out of her corner of the house while her mom’s sleeping. They like when she growls while eating and call them “nom noms”.

One of these kittens had a p**p accident and another tried to cover it up so they all got baths. I’ll let you guess who.

Eugene (aka Gigi, Geege, or Bavarian Boy) is the calmest kitten but he can get a little too aggressive playing with Keith and Becky. He talks when he’s slightly inconvenienced. He’s the leader of the pack as he sets the schedule for his brother and sister. They check to see what he’s doing to see if it’s time for a drink or snack, to go to the bathroom, or to take a nap or bath.

He loves belly rubs and isn’t self-conscious about his primordial pouch or his lack of fur in particular areas. He’s a floppy and tolerant boy. He likes a good nap on the couch cuddling the backs of your knees and will move to the floor to cool off. Speaking of, he lays on top of the vents when the AC is on.

His favorite toys are puff balls. He’ll sometimes growl when he has one in his mouth even when no one’s around to steal it. In the mornings, I’ll find puff balls hidden in the covers because he wants to play fetch.

He’s a strange one. He can sleep in any position and his favorite spot on the bed is on top of my second pillow. And boy does he sleep HARD. He sploots on the floor. He’s incapable of drinking water normally, he has to swim in the air with one paw.

Eugene is a loner. He doesn’t mind whether or not he has a cat friend.

Disclaimer: Eugene has an adopter

Here’s what evenings look like here featuring Kit Kat the resident cat. She’s been loving having access to kitten food.

Keith is really out here thinking he’s the main character. Yes, he needs to be in your face at bedtime.

Keith had two costumes yesterday: unicorn and ghost

Keith was in charge of treat distribution yesterday. He gave out zero and wanted Cheetos as a reward.

Which one’s Louise? Table or chair? Only the real fans will know

Becky (aka Rebecca, Becks, Becky Becks, Lil Becks, or Becky Girl) is a sweet and sensitive girly. She’s chirpy and cautious of her surroundings. She’ll scurry away if you approach her too fast but she’s a purr machine.

She’s the perfect TV or nap buddy and finds whatever crevice she can rest her head on. She’s just fine sitting in the chair next to you or on the back of the couch as well. This girl LOVES Cat TV and will chatter at the birds, squirrels, and fish. She enjoys being held like a baby and sploots on occasion.

She appreciates her alone time but is also open to playing on her own terms. She hogs wand toys and makes her brothers back away so she has them to herself. She’s the same way about her puff balls too, it’s tough being little. We love a strong, independent woman. She’s pretty good at the fetch thing if you don’t mind waiting a few minutes. She guarantees same-day delivery. She’s got mad hops too!

Other cats can be intimidating so she needs a proper introduction. Young children would likely stress her out as she’s not a fan of sudden movements and loud noises.

Keith (aka Keke, Keefers, Kooth, or Keeks) is a whole wheat PITA. He’s too smart for his own good.

He can open doors with pull handles which made his foster mom replace the one to the kitten room with a door k**b. He can also open cabinets.

Jealousy is his worst personality trait, everything has to be about this dramatic man. If his siblings gets pets, he needs pets too. If his siblings get picked up, he needs to be picked up too. You get it.

He LOVES chasing and wrestling his brother. They could run up and down the stairs for hours. He’s a talker and won’t let you forget about him between his meows, nosiness, loud landings, and cries if he can’t see you. What a simp.

He enjoys a good stretch, just hold him like a baby and see how long he gets. Oh, and he gives hugs, just tap your chest! He’s a friend to everyone! At bedtime, he’ll lay on your stomach and give you kisses.

New cats are scary but give him time and he’ll adjust. He likes to give love bites so young children might not be a good fit.

For those unfamiliar with The Try Guys, here’s who The Throuple is named after. Do you think they resemble their namesakes?

Worth all the chaos they cause

I’ve been forgetting to give an update Keith and Becky. I was diagnosed with pneumonia Monday and have been busy resting and managing the rescue’s social media (a new task I’ve taken on). While I was at urgent care, I got the news that their PCR results came back negative! They were SNAP tested again yesterday and FINALLY were negative. We had all the kittens out as soon as they got home. They were so happy to see each other but Eugene plays a little rough for their liking so there was some hissing.

10/05/2022

Keith and Becky had blood samples sent off for IFA tests a few weeks ago. The results of those were negative for the both of them.

Today, we went to the vet to have their blood drawn for PCR tests. It’s more accurate but also more expensive. If that comes back negative, they’ll be SNAP tested again. If the SNAP test is positive, the plan is to retest them at 2 years as they’ll still be considered positive.

They’re so tired of being poked and prodded. They’re becoming distrustful of anyone when they leave the house because they know what’s going to happen. I’m remaining optimistic as Eugene is negative but we can’t chance it.

One week ago, Louise went to her forever home. In true Louise fashion, she made sure I wouldn’t forget her last day with me. I held her on my side and she crawled up to my shoulders. She slipped a little bit and refused to come down forcing me to walk hunched over. She made sure to get as many slaps as she could while her new mom filled out paperwork. Everyone at PetCo got a formal goodbye.

Prepping Louise’s Wet Food

This is how Louise likes her wet food. Straight from the can. Not smushed. No added water. She licks up all the gravy immediately and then nibbles on rest throughout the day.

Louise’s Close Up

Louise was such a friend yesterday. I held her and she purred! She normally growls under her breath. She was all over me: jumping on the couch, walking on me, reaching her paw out for more pets, head butts, and kneading. She really could be a great companion for someone out there. Just no cats or children please! Anyone have room for a petite and sassy bowling ball?

The Boys vs. Becky

It’s #throuplethursday! We did it! The Throuple finally had a negative fecal. All the baths and cleaning paid off. They’re getting spayed and neutered Monday. The last hurdle we have to jump over is having Becky and Keith test negative for FELV.
