Foster Kittens

Call her Abigale Adams, aka Abbicab, or just plain Abby. After 8 months on the streets, Abby came inside and is now part of Burbank Animal Shelter’s Kitten Foster Program.  As Abby tells it “I got a rough start and didn’t like the human hand.  I hissed and was generally in a bad mood and untrusting”.

Let me allow Abby finish the story.  “Then my foster mom, Kat, took me to her home and started patiently working with me.  I’ve been with her for 6 weeks now and Wow, what a difference!  I’ve come a very long way!  Now I love to cuddle by her side and be brushed.  I also do kitty circus tricks for treats (Check out my video of my amazing circus feats)!

I can still be a little shy at times, but I’m getting braver every day, and most of the time I act like any other goofy cat.  I need a little time to warm up to new people, but if you take the time to get to know me I will love you forever.  I’m really good at watching out a window and guarding the house.  I like to be on the bed or in a sunny place and shoot my bum in the air when you’re petting me.  I’m an indoor cat now, and have a tiny, sweet meow, but if you ever had a mouse in your house, I am a lioness and will hunt it down, no doubt!”

Abby is looking for a quiet home with a loving and understanding owner.  If you love kitties Abby will steal your heart and be a wonderful addition to your life.

Abby has been spayed, microchipped, and had all her shots.  To learn more about Abby and meet this wonderful girl, please email her foster mom Kat at abby@thevbas.org

Chester came to the shelter with his two siblings in late November. The kittens were only a few weeks old and very sick, but Chester was much smaller and weaker. This little guy responded to treatment and TLC in foster care and is now ready for adoption. Chester has a common viral condition that many cats have, though never show symptoms. He may be more susceptible to upper respiratory infections than most cats, but with a nice home and daily supplements for his immune system he should continue to thrive.

Chester has the ideal personality for most people. He is six months old and loves to play with the other cats (and dog) in his foster home, and he’s also happy to entertain himself. He’s sweet and affectionate, especially when he wears himself out and it’s time for a nap! This sweet boy is the whole package.
