And then there was 1
Lucca went home this morning, to a wonderful family!! I'm so happy that Ryan and I could have been part of her journey, and it's obvious she is going to be one loved kitten. Cedric seems to be fine for now, he's been hanging out with us and Tom (and purring a lot).
Kittens visit the vet
The kittens are big enough to be fixed, so they spent the day at the Black Hills Animal Hospital! They did great before, during, and after. I was worried that they would have been feeling woozy or shaky because of the surgery, but that didn't slow them down at all. They were super hungry when they got home though!

Cedric would like to congratulate the Kansas City Royals for sweeping Baltimore and winning the ALCS! Anything is better than those Oriels, right?
Lucca, however, played through the game. She is getting good at throwing that mouse.
Just for scale, an added photo with Tom. Now, is she really small, or is he really big? He's tolerating the kittens very nicely.
One more, just because:
Cedric silencing his monkey toy. Obviously, the monkey saw too much.

Good vet visit!
Lucca and Cedric took a trip to Canyon Lake Vet Clinic to meet new friends, be weighed, and for Lucca to be tested for all those bad kitty diseases. Cedric fell in love with Gia at the front desk (he was sleeping on her by the end), and Lucca passed all of her tests with flying colors!
Both of them are just over the 2.2 lb. mark, so they are big enough to be fixed when the time comes. I have to say, they both are exceptional car riders. Cedric just sat and purred. I hope they stay that way as they grow up!
We did a small photoshoot outside in the grass with the kittens, and got some good pictures of cuddle time too.
Enjoy!

It begins!
Hello friends, family, and anyone that stumbles across this blog! Welcome to Foster Kitten Shenanigans/ The Fun of (Kitten) Fostering, the blog that will follow my husband and I's journey as kitten foster parents for the Oglala Pet Project. OPP is a non-profit rescue organization that takes in animals from the Pine Ridge Reservation. Here is their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OglalaPetProject?ref=br_tf
I decided to start this blog as a way to follow kitties that will come and go through the house- their stories, how we learn to handle different things, and all of the fun kitten times, as well as a way for our friends and family to see gratuitous cute kitten pictures. If you are from South Dakota and see a kitten you love, I can get you in touch with right people!
Ryan and I haven't had kittens for many years, as our cats are "teenagers". We received our first set of fosters yesterday. These guys were found at the dump, and are probably about 8 weeks old. They are small (but healthy!) and don't have their shots yet, so our resident housecats Tom and Marie have not gotten to meet them. We also had the good news yesterday that both of these kitties have an application for a family, meaning they will only be with us a short time while they grow big enough to be fixed! Introducing:
Lucca-
and Cedric-
Lucca is a loudmouth and a licker when she gets tired. All Siamese this girl!
Cedric is a character and a cuddler. He looks innocent enough in this picture, but this was seconds away from attacking the camera. But he's super sweet when he's tired and loves attention!
They have spent the day doing normal kitten things, and are loving doing parkour on the cat gym or wrestling in the blankets. They both love to lick ears and climb on shoulders, and are making this blog post very difficult to complete. I've already trimmed their claws once!
We feel lucky to have started our foster journey with two awesome kitties, and are excited to see them grow! Hopefully we will get better at taking pictures of kittens too, they move around a LOT.
