June fosters, 3rd week: saying bye-bye

[ginnyinWI]

My four formerly-semi-feral foster kittens are going back to the shelter tomorrow to get ready to find their new homes. In 15 days they have learned to be much more comfortable with humans. But they still startle easily and are happier to be around us if we are sitting down: hey don't like to be picked up and carried to who-knows-where!

When I sit on the floor, three out of the four will happily climb into my lap and the other one will stay when put there, as long as I pet him until he relaxes and purrs (this is Ziggy I'm talking about, the black one) . Then the other three will hear the purring and climb up too and make a purring heap of kitten love.


They will make good pets as long as their new people are patient and make friends slowly and carefully. Once more, here are Tabitha, Ziggy, Dickens and Jordie.

3. A pile of sweetness.

It sounds like you have done a great job getting them ready for the next part of their journey. I wish the very best furever home for the kitties.

4. They will be scooped up!

They are really cute. Thanks for sharing their pics with us and thanks for taking them into your home.

5. Hope so!

The orange tabby is the most social so will probably be first. Then Tabitha the brown tabby. The other two are more shy. My one hope is that they are adopted in pairs!

They are all checked in now. I've got an empty kitten room to clean.
