Foster news:
All of Maple’s kittens have been delivered to HOPE’s shelter, and several of the kittens have already been adopted. Mama Maple is doing well at home, recouping from taking care of 7 kittens. Foster Willie has been integrated into our household after his last adopter fell through. (Please no hate to them! They wanted badly to help Willie but it wasn’t the right time for them and I am glad the adopter had the wisdom to know this!) After nearly a year of living in a room, we thought it best we see what happens if we try to allow Willie to live with us. He is doing amazingly well so far. My cats, on the other hand, are apprehensive about the newcomer. 😉
