Tell us a little about yourself (not the cats)

I am an animal lover and I'll try anything to help animals. They depend on us. I am a mother of two teens and have 4 pets; 2 cats and 2 dogs. I'm from the North East and have been living here in the south close to twenty five years now. I'm glad to be a part of this special group and hope I can contribute in some way.

Now you can tell us a little about your cat (s)

My cats, I have two. One is Jasmine. She is short haired, black, came to us as a stray. She's sort of sheepish around people, even us really. She pretty much lives in the garage and doesn't seem to want to come inside. Then I have Daisy-Mae who is a Calico. Both are about 9 or 10 years old now and great pets. Daisy likes her "Temptations" treats before bedtime. In my bedroom I have a small bowl and her treats stashed there -- when she is ready to go to bed, in my room of course, I give her a little bedtime treat. Our new kitten was broght to us Sunday, April 19 as an abandoned newborn. No mother or siblings to be seen where she was found. So, given that they neighbors know I have rescued little baby birds and love animals and all, thought I'd be a good candidate to take this little thing in. As soon as I saw him, I knew he had to come here and I had to take care of him. He's eating kitten formula, has a nice little nursery with a heating pad, soft blankets, a stuffed kitten and "me" at his beckon call. He's very sweet, I just hope I don't get too attached because I know me and that's what will happen. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Do you have a website or social network?

Do you rescue or foster cats?

Well, I don't foster officially or is it known to the public, but that's basically what I am doing right now for this abandoned kitten that was brought to me this week.. This is my first experience fostering I might add. It's something I might consider doing more of in the future, but I'd like to get through this first, there's a lot to learn and to feel comfortable with. I don't think just anyone can foster and it takes alot of love & patience; a desire to help the helpless -- that's a given. As for rescuing, again, I'm not really up on that either as to what's involved. My time on Care2 really got me exposed to what's out there and can be done by those who feel the calling. Right now though, fostering this little one is what I'm focusing on. Let's just say I'm not saying no to rescuing, but I need to take one step at a time and also take into consideration what I am physically able to do. Fostering is already something I feel I can do.

Do you Transport cats?

No I am not able to at this time, but maybe at some other time in the future.

Do you Crosspost for rescue groups or sites?

I currently cross-post for this site.
