Foster Kitten Litters

In December 2017, Michele brought home Noel and her four kittens for us to foster: Ivy, Holly, Nicholas, and Angel.

Our second litter of 2017 is named for characters in "As You Like It", Orlando, Oliver, and Rosalind. Their mother, who was already named Jessica, is one of the sweetest moms we've ever fostered.

Our first kitten litter of 2017 was abandoned in the shelter lobby. So why not name them after fancy hotel lobbys? The four boys and one girl are Waldorf, Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, and Sofitel.

We fostered Roxie and her two kittens, Velma and Mary Sunshine for about four weeks. Roxie came to us already named, so we named her two kittens after characters from the musical, "Chicago."

Anoka and her six kittens have been with us since they were two weeks old. They were found in a tool shed in Anoka.

We began fostering Gemma and her three girls, Agate, Topaz, and Opal in August of 2015.

Late August and into September of 2014 we began fostering a litter that was found in a window well of a house on Upton Avenue in Minneapolis. Michele named the mom Ventana, which means "window" in Spanish. Her four girls and one boy were named Pella, Lunette, Anlin, Egress, and Marvin.

Mack and Ryder came to us after being found under a truck. They were reported as being eight weeks of age but we don't belive they were any older than 6 1/2 weeks. They will stay with us until they are roughly two pounds in weight.

Michele and I fostered Sugar and her four kittens in July and August of 2014. We gave the three boys and one girl equally sweet names: Stevia, Karo, Ganache, and Honey.

Piaget and her six timepieces came to us in September, 2014 and we fostered them for just over three weeks.

In November 2014 we took in three sisters to foster from the Animal Humane Society "bottle baby" program. Anne, Emily, and Charlotte were three weeks old when they came to us without a mom.

The Grays are the first kittens that we fostered for our local shelter on their "Bottle Baby" program. The kittens came to us without a mom and needed to be bottle fed until they were able to take hard or soft food.

Godova and her six kittens came to us in October, 2013. We named each kitten after chocolate: Nestle, Nutella, Hershey, Ritter, Aero, and Ethyl M.

We fostered Boots and her kittens in September, 2013. Ecco, Ariat, Teeva, and Sorrel all got their names as brands of boots.

Katniss, named after Suzanne Collins's "Hunger Games" books, stayed with us in the summer of 2011. Michele named her five week old kittens Gale, Peeta, Rue, Prim and Haymitch after characters in the series.

Guerlain's litter of kittens were fostered by us in 2011. All three kittens suffered from a cold.

Sookie and her litter of four kittens: Bill, Eric, Sophie-Ann and Hadley, came to stay with us in September 2010.

The quiet and well-mannered Hazel stayed with us in July 2010, along with her litter of six nutty kittens: Filbert, Frangelico, Gimlet, Madeleine, Nutella and Praline.
