Foster Kittens

A little bit of sassy and a whole lot of sweet – that’s Minnie.  But that isn’t the way it always was.  Minnie was a homeless waif having to fend for herself in a world that was scary for her with no one to trust.  The Burbank Animal Shelter took her in so she could be in a safe place and not have to worry about where her next meal was coming from.  But she was still scared.  She hadn’t learned to trust people and would lash out when people approached her.  If anyone was lucky enough to pet her she wouldn’t look at them and would be very tense.  Usually she tried to find the best hiding place in her roaming room so no one would see her.  Then Minnie got a break and went to a foster home.  “What is this place?” she was probably asking herself.  That’s when the transformation began.  After a few days of hiding she slowly started coming out of her shell.  After a couple weeks, her foster mom was holding her and Minnie allowed it even though she was still tense.  Suddenly she must have realized that all was okay and she relaxed in human arms.  Minnie, about 2 years old, is now an amazing little girl.  She loves being picked up and petted as attested to by her purring and kisses.  She lets the other cats know she gets the first hugs from foster mom.  She will play with her toys with foster mom or without her.  She just likes having fun.  Now Minnie’s biggest concern in life is which magnet to snatch off the refrigerator and where to hide it.

To meet Minnie, please contact her foster mom, Linda, at lindasarc@yahoo.com.

Guillermo is a sweet quiet boy, who would do well in a calm home. He is good with other calm cats and dogs. He would thrive with someone who understands cats and their quirkiness. Guillermo loves to be with people, and will follow you when you move to a different room. He also loves to birdwatch, and would love a home with a window he can view them from.

Petey is a happy-go-lucky little charmer who’s been lovingly bottle-fed from 3 days old. He was found alone and very cold but was a strong and determined little guy. He quickly recovered and has grown into a very loving, sweet and playful little cuddle monster. He’s quite social and would love to be adopted with his foster sister Natalia but would also make a great companion kitty for another cat or friendly dog. He loves to explore and nap on laps – purrs as soon as he’s stroked. His hobbies are wrestling stuffed animals, competitive eating and computer sciences.

To learn more about Petey, please email his foster mom at shandasawyer@mac.com.

If Miku could talk! His biggest adventure so far has been hitching a ride in a car engine compartment when he was about 6 weeks old! Miraculously he was uninjured when a nice officer at the Burbank Animal Shelter rescued him. Understandably, Miku was a bit overwhelmed at first and was able to relax in his new foster home. He is now super playful with his foster kitty sibling is great with the family dog! Miku still has a bit of a shy side but is also a cuddly boy and will purr the minute he feels your touch.

Lily is a 3 year old petite black cat. She was brought to the shelter with many of her siblings and other family who all lived together outside. She was scared, confused and hid under a blanket at the shelter for three weeks.  Lily is progressing slowly and now loves to be pet on her head and ears. She also loves to play, especially with her wand toy!

Lily is so loving and wants to be close to you. She will need time to become acclimated to her new home and will do best in a quiet home.

Please contact Lily’s foster mom at bonjiebonbon@aol.com or 818-515-0002 if you would like to learn more about her.
