Squeaky is doing a great job of yanking on my heart strings, this morning. (Original Post) Siwsan Sep 2021 OP
I don't know how you can do it. As I said, I'm a 100% failure at fostering. hlthe2b Sep 2021 #1
I'm glad that, since I had NO idea what I was doing, the kittens are all healthy and happy Siwsan Sep 2021 #2

Bless you, for giving them all a great start and good homes. That final kiss on their heads from you will last a lifetime.

I just have no doubt little Squeaky wouldn't still be here, had I not found them. He still has some food insecurity but it's not nearly as significant as it was, at first.

The friend who is adopting him met him on the very first day. I was still scrambling with all four, trying to figure out what I was doing. She honed right in on Squeaky, picked him up and gave him a long, long snuggle. I think that gave him such a sense of comfort and security. Then she gave me a look that told me - well, I found him a home!

I think she's also going to be moving to Chicago with Squeaky. That's probably the best choice since she's not super feisty so she's a good match with him.

I'll have my hands full with the other two, but that's fine. They are really sweet, too. Just a bit more rambunctious.

He is so adorable I don't think anyone could resist him. Give him a big DU hug before he goes to his forever home.
