They're Testing My Patience

Okay, I may need to re-think this whole foster home thing. "D" and "T" came home from work today and I was all excited for a nice, relaxing evening but I got a surprise I was not ready for. A BATH??? Eeeeecccchhhhh! They kept telling me I was going to feel so much better after I got all cleaned up and pretty, but I was not buying that line. It wasn't as bad as I had expected, but it's not something I want to repeat again anytime soon, that's for sure. I spent most of the evening resting in front of the space heater, trying to forget the whole thing ever happened. Don't tell "D" and "T", but I do feel better, and darnI look good ;-)

I decided to eat more on my own today, which was a good thing. I even got a few special "treats" for eating all of my food. Let me just say, tuna fish and steak are WAY better than cat food! Yummy. Well, It's past my bedtime. I'm off to dreamland...

Adjusting to Foster Life

So, I am now officially a "foster" cat. I know, it sounds kind of sad, but it's WAY better than "homeless" cat or "shelter" cat. My foster family is pretty cool. My temporary guardians (from now on I'll call them "D" and "T") are two MaxFund volunteers who brought me home to give me a chance to rebound from my current state. I was wasting away physically and mentally at the shelter, but now I have a new lease on life. I have my own room with all kinds of places to relax and rest. It makes me daydream about what it will be like when I go to my forever home. Man, that is going to be so great.

I have a foster brother and sister who I haven't met yet. They seem okay (what I can sense coming from the other side of the door anyway). Mostly I just hang out and relax. "D" and "T" are constantly trying to make me eat, which is annoying but I know they just want me to get fat and healthy so I will get adopted. I've decided to mess with their heads so now I will only eat when they feed me out of their hands. It's FUN!

Welcome to MY Life

I'll bet you've always wondered what it's like to be a homeless cat who ends up in a shelter but uses her looks and charm to score a sweet foster home, right? Well, It's your lucky day because I am here to tell you ALL about it!

Well, let's get started then. Here's the "skinny" (literally) on me. I'm pretty sure I had a nice home at some point, though I really can't remember. Up until recently, I was a stray cat working hard to make ends meet on the streets of Denver, CO, and all of a sudden I got picked up by some people who brought me to the MaxFund animal shelter. Lucky for me, MaxFund is a no-kill shelter or I would have been in trouble. You see, I was pretty bad off when I got there. I weighed about 4 pounds and I looked like something the cat dragged in (he, he), but I had a relatively clean bill of health so I was there to stay until I found my forever home.

I am a "people cat", so living in a tiny metal cage at the shelter did NOT work for me. All of the potential adopters that said that I was "so tiny" (translation = skeleton with fur) that they were worried I was sick. Well, I'm not sick, but I'm not really well either. So, that's where my foster parents come into the picture. They both volunteer at the shelter and they' ve been keeping a close eye on me since the beginning, but they knew that until I gained some weight and got back into fighting shape I wasn't likely to get out of there. Long story short, here I am living with them for a while until I find the perfect family to adopt me permanently. Pretty fab, huh?

Don't get too excited, there's a catch. They can only keep me for two months, so I have to get well and get adopted before they have to take me back to the shelter (blech!). See, here's where YOU come in. I just know you are sitting there reading this thinking, "this cat is awesome, I must adopt her". Easy enough, I am available to be your's forever. How? Just contact my foster mom and dad, who will tell you all about me and how you can adopt me from MaxFund. Simple enough, right? Well, get going already. I've been waiting a long time to meet you and you can't imagine how happy I am that you want to meet me too!! See you soon...
