Does it seem a bit tiring to be a kitten foster?

Fostering kittens is when you take in kittens (usually with a mother) and take care of them/socialize them while they're in an adoption shelter/organization until there's a home for them. It's done to save space in animal shelters so they don't kill animals just for overpopulation problems (Spay/ neuter your animals please!)

Personally, as a long time cat owner. Im glad to see such an organization. Cats arnt dogs. lol
You can socialize them, but they have their own rules. Wont come every time they call you. And always a sense of independence.
It painful to see some consider them...*rodents* And they do get put down alot where I am, as there is no real consideration to keep them alive.
So dispite how tiring it may seem, your doing something that few places in the world allows.
Hopefully it will help motivate you and continue your work.

The four we took in to foster (on top of our nine house cats and five feral cats outdoors) are a momma cat that's 5.6 pounds when she should be around 9 or 10 pounds who still nurses her 4 week old babies even though it's such a strain on her health. Then we have her three kittens who thankfully are pretty healthy and are running around like crazy.

>: So ....... I am going to go crazy D: on your post >:
I have three cats >: I didn't buy them. >: But we did save two >:
Short story.
Rain was giving to us. She would have been put in a pound and either put down. Not every one wants a cat. They want kittens !!! So that is one problem her owner had. ( I was friends with his sister in law ) So we took her in. Free of charge. What was nice was she was all ready spayed and de-clawed before we got her. ( she got it down when she was a young. )
Then we have a semise cat name Cloue She was shoved at us. Big time. She has some health problems by the looks of it ( all ways bloated and mean when people touch her stomach does not like to be picked up and will growl to tell you that ) So being us ( we don't like to leave cats behind ) We took her in.
We finally have a cacoon cat She was left behind at the last place we rented. We didn't leave her behind. Cause that is just mean..
Other cats we have owned and tamed or took in and died in our arms are the following..
Baby girl A calco cat we got for my birthday. She was wild as any cat can be. She had a lot of kittens. Cause she was a out side cat that only came in when ever she wanted to. ( even gave me presents XD ) Sadly we had to let her go ( to a pound but not a kill shelter at that time she was nursing kittens ) The people said they would fix her so she would be a happy kitty ( she is so loveable since i tamed her OxO )
Misty .We got her at one of those flea markets. Free of course. When she was a baby. Sadly we had to put her down when we came down to FL from PA. She had a bad heart. Instead of making her take medicine and make her suffer we put her down. She wasn't even a year old but she did have a good life even if it was short.
We had a black kitten. That was very weak and sick ( we believe it had seziers a lot also in PA ) My brother took him in but we never knew what happened to him. sad
We also had many more kittens. ( free or what ever.. ) And they either got killed by dogs ( grrr ) and so on. But that doesn't make us stop to bring in a stray. Or any other cat that needs our help ( but sooner or later we will have to find them homes or they wiggle there little paws in our heart :3 )
so what your doing is a must >: You should get your friends into this. You should make sure where you live to help as well. Maybe they will fall in love with them and adopt them :3 you never know :3

Okay, so, first thing's first: We OWN 9 indoor cats, 1 blind diabetic Pomeranian, 5 feral cats - one of which is blind with a bulging eye that we're keeping inside until the vet figures out what's wrong - and a sun conure. We're fostering these cats on top of all of our pets (most previous fosters/rescues). So many animals @.@ We love animals and we're always working to help them.
We've even helped them when it was highly inconveniencing like when we took in Chibi - who just turned two yesterday - when he was three weeks old and his mother abandoned him. He wandered into a lake and just barely made it out alive because a neighbor came and pulled him out. She, though thought it was a good idea to feed him pizza and no treat his cold from the dip in the lake. She had to go out of town for a weekend so we took him and watched over him for the weekend then convinced her to let us have him instead. We had to take eight hour shifts to make sure he was bottle-fed as much as he wanted to be. I had to have him between my bosom at all times, even when I went to take a college math evaluation before my Freshman year. He's big, healthy, and is perfectly fine with water (we had to wash him a lot as a kitten since he had worms and the medicine made him get rid of them via bowel movements of the runny sort.).
So I know just how you feel.
