That first photo is brilliant! She's come on such a long way, hasn't she?

She is like a completely different cat. The difference is amazing. Just shows what can be done with patience and love. Anything.

I will be holding her up as an example for Simon and his brother

I wonder how she will react to her Dad when he gets back home - if she will retreat back into her shell or if she will love him since he split up with the evil chick who probably treated Sabrina bad.

I am really worried about that. He said she NEVER played and spent most of her time under his son's bed. That doesn't describe MY Sabrina at all. I hope it was just the stressful situation with his ex. I would hate for her to return home and go back to living under the bed by herself and never coming out to play. She even likes to sit on my lap now. She is a totally different cat with me.

they know who (really) loves them

she might freak out at first but maybe you can coax her out and make her feel safe again with her favorite toy :)

i can be gone for 2 days and meeko will run and hide from me when i get home. lol

I am so excited I just submitted my fostering app!!! Totally without my husband's knowledge, but I told them I wanted to start with cats and I know if I just bring one home he will be ok with it. I think he will have a harder time letting an animal go than I will. LOL

I am so nervous now! The lady I have been emailing with has been nothing but nice, but I feel like "omg are they going to like my house? are they going to like me?" Normally they do a home check but because I am 2.5 hours away she just asked me to email pics of our house, backyard, and animals. Yayayayayayayay!!!!

Congrats!!! Let the adventures begin!

I just read they are going to pick up two pups and two cats in OR today. Maybe I will end up with one of the kitties! No idea about any details. Just sent my pics off so all I have left now is to wait for her phone call this weekend.

Oh yaay, this is such good news!

A little brief update though I'm not sure what it means. LOL She got my pics and said she would call this weekend and then said the timing was great because they had two young cats coming in that were "taken" from their owners. I am not sure if this means taken by Animal Control or taken in by the rescue. She said she would have more details when she spoke with me this weekend probably. Super excited regardless. I will be spending the weekend cleaning and getting things ready just in case!

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! fostering is so awesome!!!

i was super nervous for my home visit also... i'm not much of a cleaner so i just cleaned up the important areas and then shove stuff every where else lol

Well I saw a pic of the cat that the rescue picked up but not sure if I am getting her cuz the lady never called over the weekend like she said she would. They were supposed to get two cats but only got one so I'm not sure what happened there. She is apparently severely underweight but it was hard to tell from the pic I saw. She is a long haired white cat with some tan patches it looks like. Hoping I will get a phone call or email tomorrow!
