Fuzzy, Four-footed, Bundles of Joy

Spring has sprung and, as happens each year at this time, we’ve got kittens!  Lots and lots of kittens.  And every single one of them tugs at your heartstrings and makes you want to kiss the tops of their fuzzy little heads and take them home with you.

As you can imagine, our foster parents are working overtime.  This year we seem to have quite a number of kittens whose feline moms aren’t interested in nursing them.  That means bottle feeding lots of hungry mouths is needed every couple of hours.  It’s exhausting for the foster moms, but you won’t hear them complaining.  Their goal is to get these little ones strong and healthy in time for our Kitten Shower on May 22^nd.

The Kitten Shower has to be my favorite HSAPL event.  For the third year in a row our education center at the sanctuary will be transformed, with chairperson Cindy’s magical decorative touch, into a festive party scene that would make any baby shower hostess proud. Cindy’s co-chair, Liz, will ensure that no organizational detail has been overlooked, and the committee will no doubt whip up some of their secret-recipe punch for the occasion.  Cages filled with kittens will line the walls as foster parents proudly stand by, ready to give details to potential adopters. Kittens will find “forever, homes,”  cake will be served, a raffle will raise a bit of money for the cats, and guests will enjoy tours of the facility.  It’s an afternoon filled with laughter and fun.

Of course the centerpiece of the entire event will be the kittens.  Just in case you’ve forgotten how adorable kittens are, take a look at a few that have come to us over the years:
