You are doing a real mitzvah for them, Sara. I will always remember your help when my beloved kitty, Monte, was transitioning to the next plane. I hope Mama will be okay. Have a safe and fruitful trip to AWP. The kitties are beautiful and you have given them a good start.

sounds very tough. I'm glad you're able to pass this huge job along to another. You've done enough--more than I ever would have had patience for. Have fun at AWP! I've been twice, but both times I didn't really know what i was doing there.

Mary, thank you for the support. Never thought I'd be glad to say goodbye to adorable kittens!!! My writing group rented a house together for AWP. I think that will be fun as we mostly meet on Zoom. PLUS I've been asked to read my short baseball essay that was published in the Under Review last month! That I hope will be fun!

Always wonderful hearing from you. Bisous

Hi Sara,

I just read the full post about the cats and kittens. You are brave to take on the kitten care! This brood is so adorable and the mother is lovely. Heartbreaking. I hope they will survive. So many kittens in the world....

In the meantime, Boudu says hi. It sounds like "meow" but I know what she means.

Beautiful cats! You have a heart of gold 🧡 Bless you caring for our babies. Is cat lady! Fortunately I live on a ranch in California and we no less then 14 feral cats, all neutered and spayed. I care for all of them and they enrich my life with their love, humor and charm. I can’t add a photo here, but my two indoor cats are a black one and a red tabby like the two kittens you fostered. Miss Velvet and Squeaky! Squeaky is the name of the tabby because he doesn’t meow like other cats, instead he squeaks like a mouse and is so cute 🥰 😻

Blessings to you for being a fabulous human being! 🐈 🐈‍⬛

Oh wow... I'm on the edge of my seat about what will happen to this GORGEOUS Mama and her beautiful babies! These are extraordinary looking cats! I also loved the stories about the earlier fosters... and details like those tiny claws and the places they hide. ❤️ ♥️ 💜 💛 kittens!!!! (And, all best for AWP!)
