Foster Kittens

Designer Dog breeds and Tiny Toys, teacups

*sigh* Where to begin?


People have the misconception that I hate mutts. That I don't like these dogs.

That's far from the truth. I don't hate "yorkie-poos", I don't have anything against teacup chi's.

My heart hurts for those dogs.

These are the dogs you see in puppymills. Shoved in tiny cages and forced to breed and breed so selfish humans can make a quick buck. These so-called breeders don't care about these dogs. They just want your money.

Tiny toys, teacups, etc are not healthy dogs. They take runts, breed them, and then you have these sickly dogs with organs that are too big for them. It's not right. Why breed animals that are going to suffer? They cost hundreds in vet bills because of this.

They shouldn't be supported. You're supporting the suffering of these animals.

If you want one, get it from the shelter.

new fosters

She's about two years old. We're calling her Lucky because St. Patrick's day is so close. She's got 4 kittens born on 02/23/2009. We're still looking for a home for one, possibly two of the kittens. Lucky also needs to find a home. She'll be tested for FIV/FeLV, get her rabies shot (1yr), and spayed. The kittens will be fixed and vaccinated as well.

Break down of Chole's law.

Basically, you have to keep paper work on your animals and be able to produced them when asked.

Plus you can't separate a kitten or puppy from it's mom until it's 8 weeks old. Which is already illegal in IL.


Purgatory tested positive for FeLV yesterday and had some other health problems, he passed away at 2:20pm

Rest in Peace friend

Update on the Fosters

So the person interested in Princess never got back to me. No one seems interested in Ted at all and he's such a cute cat! He's making great progress as well. He's tolerating the dogs and other cats more and more. He could probably go to a home with other animals. Still should go to a home with older children though.

Princess is being more social. She's playing with all of the other cats and willingly coming up to humans. Before you had to hunt her down and force your presents on her lol

She hunted down a mouse the other day. I was shocked, she had some troubles getting it because she doesn't have any front claws but she knocked it around enough that she was able to catch it in her mouth before BeBe took it away. He's such a pain.

The mouse was a feeder mouse by the way, no rodents take residence at my house! They'd be crazy to do so.

I'm hoping to get a video of them both up soon. More pictures are needed as well.

I forgot! We weighed everyone


Ted 10 lbs
Princess 11 lbs
BeBe 11 lbs
Purgatory 9 1/2 lbs
Damn-It 13 lbs

I switched their food from Natural Balance to Wellness, so we'll see if the weights go up or not. I might have to change Princess's diet. The males all look fine but she's turning into a beach ball haha

Coupons, Princess

Might have a home for Princess.

Got some of the coupons in, one for $5 off, the other for $3 off.

I'm probably jumping the gun but I'm going to go get a packet together to send with Princess, along with some of the cat food she's been eating so she doesn't get sick.

I want to give her hairball medicine too. Hopefully this lady can wait a while. I don't want to give her too much medicine all at once so she vomits or something.

Had to give all the cats tapeworm medicine. Purgatory and BeBe def. have them. So fucking gross. It was only $20 for 6pills and I have 2 left over. Damn-it needs to finish his, he only took part of it. I'm going to try again later with that though...

Cat food

I contacted a bunch of cat food companies and most are sending me coupons, some are sending free samples. I contacted Petco and they told me to talk to the store manager to see if they'd be able to give me any discounts or free food for the strays/ferals. So that's pretty damn awesome!

We gave Ted tapeworm medicine. He started to show signs of having them, which explains why he's so small, so hopefully that's taken care of. I hate giving it to them, it's really hard to get them to take the whole dosage. He's 9 1/2lbs!! wow!

Princess might be going back up for adoption soon, more on that next week I hope. She's been doing really well.

Purgatory and Damn-it are fighting a lot though. I stopped spraying feliway around though, so I started doing that again.

I have a video of Purgatory and Damn-it showing how smart they are. I should work with them more but it's so cold I don't want to get out from under my blanket and all the kitties around me are keeping me nice and toasty warm! lol
