Another busy season! We are looking for more foster and forever homes. Foster Cat Gives Birth! While we all work hard to make sure all animals in our care are spayed or neutered, occasionally we get one in that is so close to birthing that it's too late to prevent the birth of a litter. This is the case of the cat Holly is fostering for Stray Hearts (see earlier posting below). On the 12th of July she gave birth to 4 kittens. Mom and babies are healthy and are lucky that a caring person from Taos Pueblo brought mamacat in to Stray Hearts when she was found outside a building at the Pueblo. Mama Jane and her 4 children! All are in good health and quite content. Mama purrs a lot and babies are mewling and wiggling, nursing and sleeping... what a life! Tired but purring, Jane the mamacat rests with her kittens under the dresser in her foster home.

Meanwhile, in another room, the 3 other Stray Hearts fosters are growing rapidly! Holly holding a lovely bouquet of kittens!

And...

here are the latest pictures of Missy, the rescued wiemaraner...

Missy is in need of a home but until her forever home is found, we need to find another foster home for her as her current person will be going out of town this Thursday!
