The Foster Roster

Update From Foster Mum: Berg Has a Home!

I'm pleased to announce that Berg, the temperary foster kitten already has a home! He'll be heading home tuesday to a wonderful forever home. They apparently visited and interviewed many of our rescue group's fosters as well as other cats in other groups... And in all their travels; little purring Berg stood out as the one and only cat for them! So congratulations Berg, I won't be home in time to see you off (Foster Dad is there, though.) but have a very Happy New Year! Purrs!

Update From Foster Mom: Foster-less!

We are officially without a foster cat here for a little while. Berg went back to his original foster humans for a little while here (Until they go out of town). I'm cleaning out their room today and it is sure quiet and strange without Teddy in there!

Update On Teddy: ADOPTED!

After a very long day at Petco, followed by a full evening at Barns & Noble: our fearless president Teddy retired from public office and found himself a forever home! He started the morning on a bad note. Within an hour of going to Petco, he met and seduced a couple and their young child with his headbutting, purring , and his all out loving approach to all new humans he meets. They were filling out their adoption form and calling their landlord to tell him they were adopting Teddy, when the President did something I'd never seen him do: he reached over and clawed their child in the face! It was a deffinate: I am not going home with YOU! That was amazing. I really thought Teddy had blown his only chance at a home for the day... I was wrong!

One particular woman kept coming over to see him at Petco, then showed up at Barns & Noble with her husband to meet Teddy. They were the first humans all day to walk up to Teddy, pick him up, and know instinctively how he likes to be held! Teddy just looked at them and you knew he'd made a decision. They have been living with bengal cats for years, and recently lost one of their two spoiled rotten cats. She said they even missed their cat's loud howls around the house... Teddy is quite the talker! As chatting went on, she seemed to be describing Teddy and all his bengal habits. It was a perfect match.

The only thing left is for Teddy to meet her son, who has allergies. (And is the reason they started living with bengals in the first place.) So fingers crossed! Teddy has found a wonderful forever home. Let's hope he can keep it.

ps-- Berg is now staying with us for a few days; then again over Christmas. No need to worry about him getting along with Teddy now! (We hope!) He's a bit shy, so I'm trying not to accost him with the camera too much.
