It's always a lot of fun to have pile of kittens! Our latest cuties from The Seattle/King Co. Humane Society arrived this week to recover from the usual cold (or more technically, upper respiratory infection or URI). While a "cold" is normally not a major concern for an adult cat, it can be very serious for a kitten if not treated properly - so our little guys are getting some extra care to make sure they stay healthy. Right now they're on the road to recovery.
The kittens are about 10 weeks old, two boys and a girl. I refer to them as "the kittens" because we haven't given them names yet - one of the common jobs assigned to foster parent. It seems right somehow to wait a little and learn more about their personalities before giving them names. Even though people adopting cats and other pets from shelters are perfectly free to give their new family member a new name, we still like to give a little thought into what we end up calling them.
It's always hard to say how long our fosters will be staying with us, but the goal is always to get them ready for adoption as soon as possible. Since space is normally tight at virtually every shelter in the country, we want to keep those adoptions rolling! In fact, the Humane Society has been running an "adopt two adult cats for the price of one" special; if you are thinking of adopting, now is a great time. While our little guys are getting better, we'll provide updates here and let you know when they're ready to go to that special new home - who knows maybe yours!
