Life in our foster home has seen more adventures this past week for kittens, Sylvester and Sneakers.  These two boys have spent their days exploring the master bedroom now that they have proven great litter pan usage.  The bedroom now looks like a romper room full of play things:  scratching scroll, crunchy crackle tunnel, chase ball circle, and the favorite, the cardboard box with cutouts.  They have enjoyed playing hide-n-go-seek around the bed skirt, the chair, and up the window perch.  Their activity level has increased two-fold over the past week and they spend most of their nights sleeping in the bathroom after a little play and bumbling around in the tub. 

Foster cat, Hamster, continues to be a nice "big brother" to the little ones.  He has enjoyed sitting on top of the bed and watching the kittens playing on the floor.  Several times, Sylvester and Sneakers have climbed up on the bed and have attempted to play with Hamster's tail, but that is short lived because we do not want any "arguments" between the big brother and his smaller "siblings".  However, it is fun to watch the kittens grow in their confidence in approaching the "big cat". 

The kittens will go in this week for a recheck at Charleston Animal Society.  They are doing so well, and according to our scales at home they are well over a pound each (Sneakers was almost a pound and a half).  They have good appetites, but very different.  Sneakers likes to eat for long periods of time while Sylvester is more a of nibbler.  They will both communicate with each other when eating, growls are not unheard of and Sylvester is known to use one of his front paws to place it on Sneaker's head to push him away and back to his own bowl.  Once meal times are over, they will clean themselves and enjoy some petting (while they will purr for us).

While talking about meal times, we can't forget to talk about Hamster.  He continues to enjoy his grain-free diet, but it is obvious he would rather have the kittens' food (we now must keep the bedroom door closed rather than gating at the door). His favorite treat continues to be dried bonito flakes - yummy to him.  While he is still somewhat of a social eater, it isn't as often that I must sit on the floor with him to get him to eat.  He's such a social guy and would love to squeeze his way into someone's life.

    Having owned cats all my life, when we put our last pet to rest after 17 years the decision was made to begin fostering kittens from our local No Kill shelter.  Many kittens and several cats later, it is rewarding to help the community and find wonderful, loving homes for the felines.  This website will include some thoughts, emotions, challenges, and best of all the enjoyments from the rewarding fostering experience.  It will also highlight cats available for adoption from local area shelters.

    I am not a veterinarian nor vet technician.  It is only for the love of cats and a life-time commitment of their care from neonatal abandoned kittens to aging cats that I have developed a few skills and learned along my journey of caring.

​Adopt Charleston Cats highlights some of the cats and kittens currently in the care of Charleston Animal Society, Dorchester Paws, Pet Helpers, and Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary located in the Lowcountry of, South Carolina. More are available for adoption, but we will show a few that are either on an adoption floor, Pounce Cat Cafe + Wine Bar, available for adoption from their foster home, or soon to be available for adoption. We also highlight adoptable felines available through individuals (primarily rescuers/TNR) and these animals are fully vetted. Periodically, we will also highlight kittens and cats available for adoption through agencies from surrounding counties.
Please consider adoption by visiting each facilities' website to learn how you can visit and meet your next furry friend or contact us to be connected to a rescuer.  
Thank you for looking.
