Fostering is so worthwhile when you've managed to get them into good homes. River, Saphira, and my baby Serenity all went back to the shelter last Wednesday in the hopes of being adopted. Not only were they all adopted by the end of the week, but they were all adopted the same day (but to different owners). Misty got to meet Serenity's new owner and is very happy with the match (have to admit, we felt a bit picky about who got our wee one).
After getting neutered, Denver was ready to go back to the shelter on Saturday. There was an off-site that morning, so they decided to take him along. Well, that little firecracker was adopted before he even got taken out of his transport carrier! And, he gets to go home with another couple month old kitten - he needed someone to match his endless supply of playful energy.
We think our "adoption bios" are helping to get them adopted. For each kitten, we print off a picture with a paragraph describing their very best traits. The only hard part is keeping up with doing them before we have to send the kittens back (they are all roughly the same age, so we only get a few days off in between...and those few days have been spent working on the hoarding dog situation).
