It's been kind of a rough foster kitten season (for me), but these are the kittens currently in the house:
- The Bistro Huddy ringworm trio. They are doing great and just waiting for a second negative culture before going off for adoption.
- Zeph (who has a partial rectal prolapse that doesn't seem to bother her much) moved in with Dutch & Johnny on Saturday and they have been playing non-stop since then.
