Introduction

This site is dedicated to my experience as a foster care provider for a previously stray pregnant cat. She had her babies on September ninth and the babies are doing just fine. Most are already promised for adoption. You can check the status of the kittens here.

Re-arranging my home and deciding who goes where!

Filed under: The Fosters; Tagged as: bedroom, foster, mom, new foster

For the last 8 months my cats have had free reign of the place here. Heck even when they were tiny kittens. Well when they were really tiny I kept them at my side obviously. But they were little and couldn’t walk so it’s not like I was restricting them.

They also have their own ‘kitten room’. It’s my master bedroom. Here are a few pictures of the messy room

This all sounds great. But there’s a problem. The new foster is going to need some dedicated space. I can socialize her with my cats, but she’s going to need privacy when the babies come. I need to give her enough room to run around, and still know her kittens are safe. But she’ll also need room to get away from them when she needs a breather. So my thoughts initially are that I’ll close the room off when she gives birth and keep my cats out of that bedroom. I don’t know how it’ll go because the mom cat will need some attention and I can’t just leave her locked up all the time, but we’ll play it by ear.
As it sits now I just got an email from the lady and she’s bringing her over in about 4 hours.
