January Fosters!
First time I've fostered kittens in the dead of winter--these must have been born around the beginning of October.
I've had this 5-pack of kittens for the last two weeks. They are about four months old and all different, but are from are all from the same litter. The two long haired kittens had so many mats that one had to have her back shaved. The other, a black long haired cat had a lot of mats around his neck which I snipped out. So he has gaps in his "mane" but both will be grown out in a few months. These two are very friendly and like to be on my lap, which is good because they need to be combed daily to prevent more tangles and mats! The other three are more shy, but have warmed up after two weeks. They still don't willingly come onto my lap, but they do like me to pet and brush them. So here's the line up:
Cami, brown tabby
Katy, the long haired grey who had to have her back and neck shaved
Jack, the long haired black. Very friendly and playful and very big--will be a big boy!
Christopher the grey tabby with white, and Vincent, solid grey and very sweet
All of them on the stairs. They are living in an upstairs bedroom and come downstairs for play and adventures.
Fostering is a lot of fun! I'd recommend it--there is always a need for foster homes for cats and dogs, kittens and puppies!

Wish I could adopt them all.
Alas, the Queen would probably not tolerate it. And between her and the other one it's about all my allergies can stand. 
But those are some gorgeous babies.
We have maybe up to 36-40 cats available at any one time, and maybe around 15-20 dogs, plus some small animals--rabbits, birds. More in foster care and in medical treatment.
You're right, it isn't kitten season and these guys are older. Just with me for a little more socialization. They were turned in as strays so I don't know what happened to the mother.
Elmbrook Humane Society has been around since the 60s and is a non-profit and the only truly no-kill shelter in Wisconsin. We hold several fund raisers throughout the year and also things like running a lure course (for dogs) every weekend from spring to fall. We do get animal transports from Rescue Waggin', otherwise we take the overflow from the main county shelter and also the animal control in Milwaukee. In our suburban area there are some strays, but more of course in Milwaukee. Rescue Waggin' regularly brings mainly dogs up from Southern states.
I've been a volunteer for 4 1/2 years and I am among maybe 200 volunteers who help make the shelter a success. 
It's a small enough place so that everyone knows you and appreciates your helping out.

Day one, Katy got adopted. Day two, Cami found her new home. That is so rewarding to me, because I helped make them more social.
Now for the three boys!
