Fostering and the Future--You Can Do It, and I'll Show You How! Catology: The New Age of Fostering

Another population of cats that frequently needs fosters is seniors, which is another option for those who can't do bottle babies. Like kittens, seniors are more vulnerable to infections in settings like shelters. They are also at greater risk of euthanasia because they can be harder to adopt out.

[@huhdmdnnd3368]

Honestly i would but seniors are usually scared and i have 3 cats a dog and a frog :(

I had a bookshop in Ohio wherein shelter cats were fostered and then adopted by customers. More than 50 were adopted from my shop over the years. I then wrote a series of novels about the experience (Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats is the first) to encourage other shops to look into fostering dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The business that took over my location continued to foster, thankfully.

My husband and I just found a 5 week old kitten last week and we both work full time. We know how overwhelmed shelters and fosters are right now so we decided to make it work and keep him. Since he is 5 weeks old (6 now) he can is ok while I work and I feed him over my lunch break. Since he is starting to eat food I won't even have to do that for long. I'd love to foster kittens but my husband doesn't think he could handle it emotionally. We accidentally fosterd 4 kittens when we adopted a pregnant cat. It wasn't hard for me to say goodbye because I know it was for the best. We do still talk about the kittens but I'd love to do it again.

Some people dont understand how Fostering helps in so many different ways.animals that are to shy to get adopted become used to home life but in a shelter they usually become more timid.

[@princessagatha9991]

We had a pregnant stray find us at our cottage this summer and after some deliberation decided to foster her and her kittens. I am not a cat person so it wasn’t an easy decision but I’m grateful we did. The impact on my kids was so overwhelmingly positive and really gave them something so hopeful to do when they were feeling the impact most. Still not a cat person, but who doesn’t love kittens? We did keep Mom and one baby, the other were adopted together. Happy result all around although our furniture and clothes will never recover from having 10-12 week olds. Our house isn’t set up to isolate babies from our two but would absolutely consider doing it again once the teenagers have flown the coop.

[@princessagatha9991]

@@boomer1954ful I’ve given it a fair chance, but I’m somewhat indifferent to our own. They’re really good cats, nothing wrong with them. They’ll never learn my secret and think I’m part of their fan club like the rest of the family (as it should be with any beings I take into my home). But I like babies of all sorts and the idea of being useful while taking care of something that needs me is appealing. Then, when I don’t want more cats around, I can take a break. I’d have been happy to forgo ownership and just foster but my kids are convinced they have the best and cutest cats in the whole wide world so....

I don't have any knowlegde on how to care for kittens and last year I was given three kittens who are rejected by their mom! Stray cat mom, she was around but despite all our efforts, she didn't want anything to do with the kittens. I took them to the vet, got formula and stuff but I was so lost. Then I found you, and it was such a relief! You are helping people every single day with the videos! I am really sorry to say that they couldn't make it. We did everything we could. Maybe it's because they hadn't even nursed once or maybe they were already sick... But I'd like to thank you for all the info, if it wasn't for you, I couldn't have tried.

Fostering kittens truly became such a popular thing in 2020. It was so incredibly heart-warming to see people step up! I personally took in 4 kittens that came to my backyard patio. They must have been from the same litter, and I looked everywhere in the neighborhood for their mother. Couldn't find her even though I looked for weeks after finding them, but having the kittens to raise felt so wonderful! They gave me a great sense of responsibility and I just love and adore cats/kittens anyway!

[@panayiotagregoriou805]

I fostered my first kitten and took him with me at work for 2 weeks, from about 3 weeks old to about 5 weeks. My coworkers didn't even realize I had a kitten with me the first week and after that they were delighted to come at my office to pet him. It was really surprising how easy it was

[@lmk4ou699]

PERFECT TIMING! Some stray dogs were barking outside my front door, looked out and they were in my Irises. I went out to chase them off since I had seen a feral sleeping there occasionally. Found a newborn kitten, umbilical cord stump still attached. Looked around and found 2 more scattered around my yard but still breathing and mewling. Gathered them all up, brought them in, put them in a box with a fluffy towel. I dressed (since I had been in bed) and ran to PetSmart and bought a tiny bottle and kitten replacement food. I will look for momma and try to reunite her but she’s so skittish it will be difficult. They were wet so I dried them. I did make sure they had their bottoms wiped in case she had been feeling them and were interrupted. Then logged on to your channel and am checking on what I need to do ... I did do a final sweep around the yard to check for any more babies.

One of my cats came to me from the fruit and vegetable market, when I was asked, if I need anything in addition to my order, "a kitten, maybe? ", so fostering in a setting, where you have customer contact, also has the advantage, you can screen future adopters, if they are regulars in the shop.

I began fostering for the first time 3 days ago. A Feral I am feeding I thought was a male (i just got a trap to start trapping the 4 ferals I am feeding) turned out to be a female! She is very fluffy! In a torrential down pour (the 3rd of the day here in north Texas on monday) i saw her bring 2 kittens into my garage! I brought them in my house to save them from being wild themselves. I watched your webinars that first night!!! But I have a 14 year cat with medical issues. That makes this such a challenge. I have a play pen and metal play fence also from my 14 year old mini wiener dog who passed away in Feb. I just brought them out from my bathroom to the loving room. Wilson, my cat will soon find them. He is sleeping right now. He cant get up close because I have the play yard fence around the pet play yard. Wish me luck. I begin trapping in a week. But, how do I find home for these kittens when the time comes? The local foster people say they are full up and pet stores wont take kittens from anyone but them. What do I do when the time comes? I need some suggestions. If this go well, I will consider being a foster parent again in the future.

We've been fostering five kittens with a local stray cat for the last 8 weeks (our first time). Your videos have been helpful. Thank you. Wish we saw the webinar series early on though...LOL. It's been a fascinating and to be honest tiresome journey (so much poop). If I knew then what I know now it would have been smoother. I highly suggest a playpen type set as explained in this video because when they got old enough to run around....WOW! they get into everything. The food and litter costs have been considerably higher than expected so plan for that. Thankfully a local rescue helped out with vet visits (they all got diarrhea for a few days...appears to have been something mom ate) and then mom got attacked by a dog...did not have that on the planned agenda. Thankfully mom is ok but she needed antibiotics, pain meds and staples. We have some prospective adopters. Hopefully, we can get in and get them their first shots this week and get mom spayed (she's already gone into heat). Oh, and they love the Royal Canin kitten and mom canned food.

These and your usual videos on fostering really help encourage us, whether we are fostering cats or have our pets, or just when we need a lift, to see some good in the world, compassion and hope from kittens and cats and some fine people.

I've gotten one foster in the last six months. He was gone to his forever home in maybe two weeks. That was over a month ago and I haven't gotten a second one. I don't know if this means the charity doesn't have another cat to give me (which is the best problem to have, honestly) or if they're just swamped with applications for the ones they do have to find more kitties for me. I'm now ordering a live animal trap online because a stray cat has turned up at my house recently and maybe this little lady was meant to be my next foster. Who knows?

@@aautumn733 Okay, well the point still remains. Some community cats don't want to be indoor cats.

@@ladycaticorn2950 Meaning you stuck your foot in your mouth and chomped down. Hard. There is nothing wrong with getting a socialized cat off the street and adopted if you have the resources. They're doing something kind and helpful for that cat. You shouldn't judge someone with the resources to do that.

Hannah, wonderful video. Loved it & I’m sure people will be inspired to foster.

Thank you so much for making this video. After years of wanting to foster, my husband and I are finally getting out of our tiny apartment and are in a position to bring kittens into our home. However, my long hospital hours and his very strict office job made me nervous about being able to provide care while we’re away. Knowing that there are options for different care levels is very encouraging, and I have decided to register as a foster home for weaned kittens and mothers with litters. Thank you for all that you do and for being a resource for nervous first-time foster parents!

Kitten Lady, thank you so much for being so caring and creative and for teaching us cat lovers how to do better with our cats and kittens. Your videos have helped so much. -- 2019 and 2020 and into 2021 have been a real mess of ups and downs for m, with some successes and a few cases that didn't end well, but which I hope I've learned from; one of which, nothing could have helped. But a mama cat and five kittens fidget to a shelter to get adopted, and one kitten invited herself in to get herself adopted to live with me. I recently lost my very sweet old cat to old age and illness, a hard decision, but necessary. So if a new cat doesn't show up, I'll be adopting from a shelter in a while. Usually, a cat or kitten just shows up, or a couple of times, friends have given me a cat. So...I hope things will get better, and I know I've learned some lessons, just wish they had not been so harsh to get through. I still love cats very much. I miss those who are no longer here, and one I wish I had not given up, and one stray who has disappeared. Bless you, kitten lady. I'm so glad you and your partner and the kittens are doing great.

Omg the kittens are so cute

I would love to foster again. I even have a small room I could dedicate to the little fuzzballs. But I work long hours so I would be strictly limited to fostering with the mama cat present. I'll probably look into it in the near future.

[@desireebetts2332]

Even elderly cats could use fostering! ❤

I foster and love it, love it , love it.

Wow! So so much I didn’t know about all the fostering kittens and mom’s situations. I’m sure you’re video got through to a lot of people. You’re a great speaker, and you do a good job of fostering. It must make you feel sad when you have to say good bye when the time comes. Ty for all you do, and all videos., and you’re knowledge you share. Love you take care. 🥰❤️❤️
