Well it can't be a blog about foster kittens without kute kitteh photos.These are two of our current foster brood. This was taken on their first day - at approximately 2 weeks old. Featured here are Dora (foreground), so named because she is the intrepid explorer of the group; and Bitey (background), named after the simpsons monorail episode creature, and because she likes to bite the food bowl until she finds the actual food.
Please Note: These are absolutely, completely and utterly temporary names. I must rename them soon, lest they get used to it! Any and all suggestions welcome, and if you want to give the Animal Welfare League of Queensland a donation, we are very happy to let you have naming rights (better yet - reserve one for adoption!).
And since I can't resist, here are Red (suggested by a dear friend from the USA - I think it's her football team's name) and Cheeky - fairly obvious for that one!Their Story
These little guys were rescued from a property in Boonah where people seem to think it's a dumping ground for unwanted cats, and are happy to let the elderly lady who owns the property deal with the situation. On occasion, the Animal Welfare League will go out and collect the, now ferral, cats and desex and re-home them. This litter was found when they went out on a collection and no mother was to be seen.
So that's enough of an introduction to these guys for now. Much better photos to follow as soon as they can sit still for long enough without their heads stuffed into a food bowl (and I do mean stuffed, they bury themselves in it!). The exhaustion of a week full of sleepless nights pulling together catalogues full of very fashionable accessories has worn me thin and I must curl up with a nice warm litter who have just had their bath and become the babbling mess that is me with ones so small.
