The Kitten Project
The Kitten Project started on July 1st when Dane and Carrie received information about a young cat stranded at a Denver hotel. Having subsisted on handouts and who-knows-what for several days, she was thin and piteous. Being kind and generous souls, Dane and Carrie decided to bring her home and take her to her first vet visit.
Imagine their surprise (and a smidgen of horror) when they learned this little scrap of fur was pregnant! Barely 9 months old herself, this little lady was about 30-35 days pregnant. Jumping on the chance to love and nurture this kitty, Todd and Tara decided to become foster parents for her until her kittens were weaned and could find homes.
This blog will detail the experiences of humans and cats alike and will be a great learning experience for the authors and, hopefully, the readers! Through this medium we hope to detail the experiences of fostering a pregnant cat, share resources on pet care (most especially the importance of spaying and neutering your pets) and cat adoption. Many pictures will be posted of Queen and kits once they arrive and we look forward to your help naming them and finding them top-notch homes.
