Critters!
-
@Too-Old-For-This One of the other fosters is doing that too. She got ringworm babies last summer and is still in quarantine for a few more months and can't foster.
-
@silverfox Please send the sooty floof in the sink.
-
My roommate wants a kitten so badly, but there's like.. nowhere to put a litter box. So seeing all the lil baby floofs makes me feel guilty, because I've got Logan.
-
@macha You can get litterboxes that are disguised as other things! So like, a sidetable can house a litterbox as needed. If that's an option!
-
-
-
alas, there's no room for a side table sort of thing, either. (She has too much stuff... everywhere.). And Logan /likes/ cats, so that's not the issue.

Another foster!
His name is Gus. The poor guy has been in a cage for 6 weeks getting daily ringworm treatments. The plan (not liked...) was to get him spayed and then put into the kitten rooms. But I've got our super skittish Arya who ALSO was in a cage for a long time and so I offered to take him now that is ringworm is gone, and see if he and Arya can become friends.
He is so stinking cute. Because of the ringworm he has never really had much interaction, and what he did have was people with gloves on. He is being SUPER brave on my lap despite being very very scared.
-
@silverfox I wish to cuddles him and flick the string with the feather for him.

MSB, meet Sylvanas, second of her name.
Yeah so she's a yet another foster failure. In fact this household has yet to experience a foster success. Apparently once in there's no getting out.What sealed her fate is how well that motherfucker fit in with the other critters. Especially with Winnie, the little hyperactive dog I was a bit worried about - they fucking love each other. They sleep together, basically entwined like long-lost siblings.
It took her a week to win everyone over. Gus, my older cat hissed at her once. Now they play all night long. Ruby, my old dog doesn't care for cats (usually he just ignores them completely, even Gus); but he's nuzzled Sylvie in front of my shocked eyes at least once.
What the fuck. Eh, whatever. She can stay I GUESS. But damn she eats like she's been starving her whole life (all of like, eight weeks). She eats her food, the adult cat food, the dog food, treats. She's making me do the cat litter constantly which I think it's on purpose.

OMG LOOK AT DEM EARS! LOVE IT!
-
HI LITTLE BABY! I am so glad she found her forever home!!
It is easier to foster succeed when they come in groups. X.x
My husband and I jumped to get little Gus because then we won't get too attached to Arya.
-
LOOKIT ALL THAT LEGG! Welcome home Sylvanas!!!
-
-
No more fostering for at least half a year.
My Calypso got ringworm, and with it confirmed, I also see it on my elder cat.
So far neither foster, Arya or Gus, has it, nor my other cat Lyra. Going to quarantine Lyra and those two, and just... start ripping my house apart.
Regardless of how well we clean though, it will still be six months before we can foster again, meaning we will miss a lot of kitten season.
-
Ringworm is still alive in my house, but now it is limited to one kitty who is isolated upstairs. This is good because though the most random twist of fate our two ringworm fosters are going to their forever home Thursday!!
It is super bittersweet because we have fallen head over heels in love with both of them, as has our baby Calypso. We made the hard decision to let them go because in the end we know they will get more one on one attention from their new parents, and it will help our isolated-since-January baby reenter the rest of the household without unfamiliar cats

@silverfox Athlete's foot cream is the best for that.
-
We have a medication from the shelter that is suppose to be the good standard, and then are using Monistat 7 for when we popped with it. (Cuz we both have... it is what happens when you share a bed with a kitty you don't realize is infected because she didn't get it where her fur was thin like all the others but instead hidden on her backside...)
-
It has been a week since our fosters went home and I swear my Calypos and my Kiva are depressed. Caly follows us everywhere now, and is trying to cuddle more with Kiva than she EVER has. And Kiva's ALLOWING it most of the time.
I'm so sad I can't bring new kittens in for them to play with.
