Our Foster Family

Meet the six additions to our family, a sweet mamma cat and five adorable kittens. They lived at Beka and Josh's ulpan, and Beka had come home many days in a row talking about a friendly, pregnant tabby cat who roamed the grounds. One Sunday, Beka came home with the mom and her five, day-old babies. They took up residence in the garage, and Beka made them a comfortable home and took care of them.

It was so much fun to watch them grow, to watch their eyes open, and to see them totter around on wobbly legs. Now, at almost 6 weeks, they are still small but are strong and playful. As hard as it will be to see them go, we are looking for homes for them. Anybody interested? The problem is that there are so many wild cats in Israel, and so many are having kittens right now, that people aren't jumping at the

opportunity to adopt a kitten into their home. And there's no Safeway or pet store to set up a table in front of and hand out the kittens to people. Someone is coming to look at the mamma cat today. She is the sweetest, most gentle cat - especially for being wild. The kitties are all still here and cute as can be. If anybody wants one... :-)
