They aren't rescues in any official sense. They're from a litter that a friend's co-worker had. I hope, but don't know, what their health and care has been. I know they haven't been vetted at all, and will need to get into the vet for shots asap. Our vet is open for walkins tomorrow.
I had some good luck with my big old cat accepting a kitten that was lost here for a few days, so my hope is he'll tolerate kittens.
I've tried too, to sign up for fostering programs before, never actually had them call me either.
My experience has been that after a couple of months, even the MOST grouchy adult kitty will at the very least tolerate a new kitten. And generally, once the kitten learns the pecking order, babies fit right in. It is harder to bring an adult kitty into the house, but I have NEVER had a long term problem with kittens.
Congratulations, and I am jealous! The face of a kitten is just angelic. Kitties just give me such peace and joy. All my current kitties, pictured on my page, are rescues.
You probably already know this, but just in case, don't let the kittens come in contact with your other cat until they've tested negative for FeLV and FIV. Even if the other cat is vaccinated, the vaccines aren't meant to protect against continued contact.
