Kittens are named! Say hello to torties Cassandra & Pandora (so many boxes in her future), tuxie girl Daphne, orange tabby Zephyr, and tuxie boy Zeus. (Zeus is going to get a tiny dab of paint on his ear in the next day or so, because he and Daphne look SO much alike.)
I trapped my first feral cat in my life…
And had her spay surgery on Wednesday… ❤️🎉
The clinic people said…
She is about 4 months old…
And I should release her the day after the surgery… 💔
But I haven’t released her outside yet… 😢
Because my heart feels very guilty…
She is still very small…
And she lets me pet her… 🐱🤍
That’s why this thought keeps coming to my mind…
“Should I try to socialize her…?” 🥺
But she is very scared of me…
She hides in every corner of the bathroom…
Where we have temporarily kept her… 💔
I know…
Maybe releasing her is the best decision…
But just thinking about it breaks my heart…
That she won’t get the safety…
Warmth…
And love…
That an indoor cat gets… 😭🐾
I just want to make the right decision for her… ❤️
If anyone has ever had this experience…
Please give advice… 🤍
It's been 21 years since we brought home our very first fosters - Mia and her kittens Edgar, Flossie, Snoopy, Peanut & Oy. We're currently at foster #598, and we're not stopping any time soon. Happy foster-versary to us! (And thanks to all of YOU for following along!)

I am heartbroken to tell you that today we said goodbye to Milo. I will write about it in detail in a few days, but rest assured that we did absolutely everything we could for that sweet boy.
Here's proof that Bao is the welcoming committee when I walk into the foster room. I barely got that first picture taken before he was up and OFF that cat tree so he could come over and greet me. The others are still trying to figure out who I am.
TT is a sweet 19-year-old senior girl looking for a peaceful home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort and love. She is a gentle, low-energy companion who spends most of her day lounging.

This is Dora. She is 22. Maybe even 23. She is my husbands cat. She came with his first rental house, abandoned and hiding inside a dresser left behind by the tenant before him. She's been with us through dating, marriage, 2 kids and a cross country move. She's mostly deaf and blind now, but she will meow excessively until you sit down and pet her.

Tank and her sister, Patience, have been reunited on the other side of the Bridge. Tank’s medication for her pulmonary fibrosis stopped working. When we took her to the vet, we found metastasized lymphoma. #Dog

If you missed it in the blog post this morning, we have two new fosters, who have joined Reverb & Rum in the foster room. Meet brother and sister Ollie (top) & Kate. Ollie is a rare male tortie, Kate is his sister. They just finished treatment for wet FIP!
It's not the destination, it's the journey.🚶At least that's what our new seniors Tootle, Jaunt, Dilly Dally, Meander, Trek, Roam, Buzz, and Ramble say.
Aldana is 11yrs old and was handed in by her Galguero.
Can you believe it??? 11yrs of service and then thrown away 😔
She’s a big girl, quite shy, perfect with other dogs and in desperate need of a home.
She’s quiet and you’ll hardly know she’s there if you can sneak her into your lovely pack ❤️
Plz share 🙏🏻❤️
Pixie is a new arrival to GDS ❤️
She’s quite shy at the moment but we think she could come around quick enough.
She’s a dinky thing and so pretty don’t you think? 😍
