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.
