I've been missing pets, but not wanting the commitment, so I'm suddenly a cat foster parent. Things I've learned so far: cats are in short supply and foster cats like people. With the pandemic, lots of people are looking for pets, and each of these was adopted within a week. My job is to keep them healthy, give them a bit of love, and write a great dating profile. The potential adopters see the photos and bio I provide, and then meet the pets by video, when I talk up all their cuddly traits.
In other news, both of these cats snuggled me more in one week than Wesley the cat did in a year. He really was a lovable curmudgeon, who tolerated me until his real family came back for him.
Did you have both cats at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI would not be against cats except for allergies and pets restrict travel. But this seems like a good solution
ReplyDeleteI only have one cat at a time. I think the foster place prefers that, because it makes my house a haven for animals that are shy or stressed by other animals.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful way to have the animal without the long term commitment! I love this scheme.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get another one?

ReplyDeleteThe last cat was a lot of work - a joy to be around, but I forgot how just-grown kittens want to crawl into every cabinet and drawer. Work is rather stressful right now, so I think I'll sign up for another one after the holidays. Maybe I'll even foster a dog at some point.
ReplyDeleteWell done you - fostering abandoned pets - and you get to share your lovely home and pamper them with TLC
