Bye Kitty, see you!

Last Saturday we went to the animal shelter. I had read on the GT website that they were in need of "foster parents" for puppies and kittens. They are so over run with unwanted/orphaned kittens right now that they just don't have any space for them. So we are doing our good deed for the month of June! We brought home a litter of 7 kittens! They are about 3 weeks old and were brought in by someone who decided they didn't want the litter of kittens their cat came home with. (grr!!) I have such a soft spot for Cats that this really upsets me! I understand not wanting to keep 7 kittens, but the right thing to do is let them nurse and stay with the Mama cat until they are big enough to be given away. Because they didn't have that time with the Mama cat we have lost two of the kittens since last week =( I was so sad! They were having some bad tummy issues (which can kill them super quick) and one was about half the size of her sisters. RIP Tiny and lady Gaga. The other 5 seem to be doing well and are on some meds to help them. Austin just LOVES the kitties! a little too much some times lol. It's been a really good way to teach him "gentle with the baby!". His favorite thing to say to them is "Bye kitty, see you!" I love helping out a good cause but I sure hope the rest of these guys make it!!
