First Foster Fuzzies of 2022

I realized today when I came on to post about my first lot for 2022 that I did not post 3 other litters in 2021! When Genesis moved to Woodinville in 2021, I started fostering for a brick and mortar dog & cat shelter with their own vets and clinic. Fostering became a true revolving door. Where I had to wait my turn with the small rescue and often spent weeks in between litters, the fostering experience has been back to back! (Also because I'm a workaholic and can't say no when kittens need fostering) I also got their less socialized kittens which needed more time from me.

But without further ado, these are the Koh Kittens (shelter designation ) and thanks to a friend who came over to cuddle kittens, are Felicia, Wednesday and Portia.


Rumble! Felicia who weighed a whole 1lb 12oz wrestling with her baby sister Portia who was only 1lb 4oz. At about 6 weeks.


Portia - this little girl likes getting under the covers. Scare me to death one day when I got home and could not find her. I kept hearing this distressed mewing, opened all closet doors, chest of drawers, looked under the bed, was worried that she had somehow gotten behind the wall / in the ductwork. Found her inside the pillowcase with a pillow.


Wednesday on a cool Sunday morning, napping in bed with me after breakfast - see that nice full belly! (I had climbed back in to read).

They are growing by leaps and bounds. All are over 2lbs now. With the littlest - Portia, just making 2lbs. They get their first shots Thursday.


Portia - I actively discourage kittens from sitting on shoulders/chests. It might be cute when they are 2lbs. Not so much when they are 12lbs.


Cuddle puddle with Daisy on a cold day. It hasn't warmed up yet here in Seattle!


They do love their Uncle Baer. I call them his entourage as they follow him everywhere.

The kittens have been spayed. They received a long-acting pain shot after surgery which made them hyper. I always laugh at the post surgery instructions they give us foster parents.

"Your foster cat needs time to rest and heal. Do not allow rough play, running, or jumping for the next 5 days. Anything you can do to reduce the activity level of your pet will assist with healing."

They were bouncing off the ceiling, tipped over the basket of cat toys, scattered toys all over the house and finally only calmed down enough to nap last night. Today, they are behaving normally, which is "eat, poop, zoomies around the house, nap" - rinse, repeat.

Afternoon snooze. Better than climbing all over my keyboard, trying to help me type.


They look adorable, don't they? But they sure can get into trouble!

Do those things turn into cats, or stay cute and cuddly.

They turn into cats. But who says they don't stay cute and cuddly? They just grow bigger!
