Christmas Kitties

Getting friendly kittens in and taking care of them until they are old enough to be neutered and go to Petsmart is the easier part of fostering.   Twice now, I've gotten a set of feral kittens.   They require lots of patience and time and they steal a part of your heart the other kittens don't touch.  You feel sorry for them, because you know they are genuinely afraid and then you are so touched when (and if) they finally show you their trust.  They are such gentle little souls.    With my first set of feral fosters, we tamed two, kept one, and then one was sent back to us from Petsmart because she wasn't tame enough and no one adopted her.   So, more time was spent taming her and after having her 6 months she was finally adopted with the Christmas rush.  

I have three more little ferals right now.  The two boys are more tame than the little calico girl.  With the Christmas rush they will likely get adopted.  Hopefully they go to good homes  that understand the trust of a wild kitten is a treasure and they never raise their voices to them or break that trust.    So here they are.  Three little Christmas angels.

His little goatee and mustache I think he looks like a little Spanish Conquistador or V from V for Vendetta.  I went the Spanish route and named him Don Gato.  The girls call him "Mini Me" because he looks just like our adopted feral, Sylvester. 





Very timid, very shy little Giselle and Sylvester peeking through the door with a look of betrayal. You can't see it, but trust me it is there.  He ran in when I opened the door to go out - silly boy.


She is just going to be stunning!!


And my little Gray Baby aka Grayson.


See I can touch him without him fleeing!  ;)  I worked to achieve this.  When I brought them home from the shelter they were wild as ginueas and hopping around like hissing mexican jumping beans.



Ginseng isn't feral.  He's the complete opposite.  He is half cat and half parrot.  Super snuggler he didn't go with his litter to petsmart because he wasn't quite ready to be neutered - boy issues.
