Welcome Our Newest Foster Kitten!

This is my little wild child, LuLu. She's one of five kittens born to a very feral Mama. I don't know the details, but perhaps because Mama wouldn't let anyone NEAR her babies, all the kittens are throwing
hissy fits when humans get close.

Mama has been spayed and released to a loving caretaker, who'll look after her needs for the rest of her life. We've been trying to socialize MaMa's offspring, but they aren't havin' NONE of that!

In hopes that we can turn some of them around, our Director removed the sole female and brought her to me. She seemed the best of the "worst"-having the most potential to be successfully socialized. Her brothers are being worked with, too, but they are so fractious, it doesn't look good. It's Tough Love Boot Camp time!

I don't like to separate kittens, but this little one is already about 10 weeks old. She was spayed yesterday and if I'm going to turn her around, it better be soon. I'm pleased to say that she's already become more relaxed with us and she's even started to purr.

Okay, Sam got her to purr FIRST, but only after I got her warmed up good!

Sadly, LuLu's brothers will probably be released to the same property where their Mama is living. We have some very awesome socializers who feel that they just can't get through to these fellas. It's a shame. LuLu may be the only one of the litter who stands a good chance of living a comfortable life with a good family. Ultimately it's up to her. We'll see how things unfold.
