New foster cats. *Pic heavy*
We've had a few overnighters, but the following have been here for at least a week or will be for a couple weeks coming.
This is Rosebud(Rosie) - she's been dealing with a little cold, so we've been getting her medicated and back on her feet. She has a forever home waiting for her and will be leaving us this Saturday.

This is Denny, although we're not 100% sure of her name. We'll see how her personality is, and name her properly. She seems nice enough, but has a tendancy to hiss at the other cats. The others are fairly unimpressed by her attempts at dominance!

This is Carrie. She has a couple issues we're giving her meds for and she's making a good recovery.

and last, but certainly not least, Jersey Girl. She's about 10-12 weeks old and was brought home due to an upper respiratory infection. She didn't seem sick at all when we brought her home. She was full of piss and vinegar and ready to play and make friends. Nonetheless to be safe we kept her separate from the other cats. After 24 hours we let her loose, and she's taken full advantage. She loves running and playing with our young Poe(newly adopted, about 4 months old)

Here's Jersey's first hour here. Poe is the little paws on the other side of the door wanting to play.
And of course we have our permanent, very tolerant 3 who don't mind our guests for the most part. And our dog, she's slightly annoyed, but we're making sure she's not forgotten either.

Thanks so much for sharing and for all you do! 
It seems really quiet around here!
Of course we miss them, but that's the little part of fostering that is painful. The joys make up for it, and knowing you are making a difference in some little lives.
I was supposed to only keep them about a week, so that the smaller two kittens could make weight. But then all the kittens came down with a contagious virus and they ended up staying 8 weeks, and the mom an extra week (moms deserve a rest after raising their families). It was Calicivirus, so best that they weren't at the shelter with it. Distemper shots include immunization against this virus, so Mom didn't get sick, but the kittens were quite sick for a few days there, and then they were on meds for 10 days, and a return to the vet for the all clear, etc.
I actually find it is easier to give up the kittens, because demand for them is high and they are usually adopted inside of a week, and most of the time in a day or two of being ready. The adults usually have to wait a longer time for the right person to come along, so I feel more sorry for them. But yeah they are so cute and cuddly and think you are their momma or daddy, so...
Also, were these kittens ever READY to go! They were finding more ways to be naughty every day at almost three months old. I will remember that next time I have to return some 8-9 week olds. 
So many cute kittehs! You iz good hoomin for fostering them!

This is Pumpkin, she's our matriarch, been with us for 15 years.
She wasn't thrilled when we had some rats come live with us for a year, but she managed.

And finally, Sandy, she's 8 years old and is a most patient dog with all the cats in and out of the house. She triess to play with them occasionally, but just minds her own business for the most part.

Good for you. Fostering cats isn't easy.
