We had a good 8 months of fostering kittens. We were thrilled to raise so many and then send them off to their own homes. But things ended rather disastrously in March. We took in an emergency foster of a mamma cat Brie and two of her kittens, we named Jack (Monterey) and Lacey (Swiss). Lacey was sick immediately and soon passed away but Jack charmed us for a week before he started to struggle and we learned that he had a very dangerous and highly contagious disease. The rescue organization we work with paid a lot of money for emergency care for several days, but unfortunately Jack did not survive.
It was a challenging and very sad time for us. And it ended our foster journey. We are only now a year later ready to try and foster again. We are hoping to host some kittens this summer when Ally is home from Syracuse.
