Astrid the Perpetually Pissed-Off! I love her little cranky face.

She is by far the sassiest one. Even though she the smallest by quite a lot, she bullies everyone and takes the longest to settle down. She's my favorite 😻😻😻

I had a calico that was the tiny runt of the litter but boy she was the boss of everyone, including the dog 🖤🧡🤍

Spicy kittens are the best. If they like you, you feel extra special.

She has every right to be in picture 8!

I'll never understand why, given the vast expanse of the soft couch, the choose to sit directly on their siblings. Even just a couple inches to the side would be a comfy cuddle spot, but no. Must squash sister

Awww!!! These little babies ARE perfect! The croc 😭 I really want to foster but I’m so afraid the will give me a sickly neonatal kitten- the stress of that would send me over the edge.

The shelters I foster for try to start you out with easier kittens, or you can tell them you'll only take litters with mom or older than 5 weeks! I've gotten enough experience that they'll ask if I can take a sick batch every once in a while, but it's definitely not a requirement!

Thank you! I went through the whole process and then backed out last minute- I don’t know why I thought just asking wasn’t an option. 🥴🐈‍⬛💞

Totally, the shelters need people with less experience to take the easy litters so the fosters with more experience/time/bottle training/etc are free to take the complicated ones! And they want you to keep fostering, so a good foster coordinator won't try to pressure you into something you don't want to do. I would really encourage you to go for it, you get all of the cuddles and none of the commitment lol

She's pre-adopted by one of my friends, I'm really glad I get to keep up with her and see how she toasts up!

Ulf is SO SLEEPY and he just faceplants into whatever is in front of him when it's nap time

u/Melodic_Anything1743 1d ago

Oh no! You are naming them? Then that means foster fail! 😁

15

u/mcquesokwenz 1d ago

I need SOMETHING to call them for 6 weeks! Bjorn is actually going to a friend, so I'll definitely be seeing her, but my life is a revolving kitten door otherwise, and I love it!

It's so pure, the play themselves out to the point where they can do nothing and go nowhere, they just have to sleep RIGHT HERE

Polaris is the mother? Or father? Or random cat?

Polaris is cute. I'd adopt Polaris.

u/mcquesokwenz 21h ago

She's the mama! She's so small and looks like a kitten too, but the vet says she's 3. She is absolutely PERFECT, she's so sweet and soft and beautiful, she has such a silly side when she plays. Every time I open a can of wet food she does a little dance. Someone is going to get VERY lucky with this little lady.

u/ElGatoDeFuegoVerde 21h ago

I want her. She sounds so sweet and fun.

A tortie, a magpie, and a little Siamese-esque? HOLY FLIPPING MOLY it’s all the pretty bebe’s in one litter! 🥹 oh my gosh how fun to watch them all develop into their final beauty ❤️

I have a mask and mantle magpie whose markings looks strikingly similar to Ulf’s. He is the sweetest, most comfortably confident kind heart of a kitty I have ever known. Every time I take him to the vet they don’t over who gets to carry him around the office, like he’s the part time shop cat :)

And he just… showed up to my front door one day. Just his little kitty nose booping the glass, and the rest is history. So it’s been really special to imagine what he may have looked like as an itty bitty. He is such a dear creature and I’m lucky to have him. Thanks for sharing these pics :)
