Fostering Kittens

I have been fostering kittens for theaspca. When kittens are brought in, they have to be put in cages until they are old enough to be fixed. I take them home limit is four kittens or two puppies. They are usually frightened. The first few days they tend to not use the litter box. I have an older male cat who is very gentle. Mister mom (Bandit) teaches them how to be kitties. I keep them until they weigh three pounds and then I have to bring them back to be adopted. The purpose of keeping them is to socialize them. They are shy when I get them. By the time they leave they have run of the house, they are using their litter box. It is sad to bring them back. When I do bring them back, I take another litter of kittens. Before they get adopted they are fixed and ready for a good home. It beats having to be in a cage until they are ready for adoption. It is rewarding and fun. fostering kittens. You can volunteer to foster kittens or puppies fo a shelter of your choice. you would be helping an animal to get a new home because of being socialized. It has also helped me in pet astrology because although the kittens are from the same litter their personalities are different.
