Ignatius: “If you ever foster 10 kittens at the same time again, I will cut you.” #CatBoxSunday #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky

Me: You barely fit. Georgia: Shut up, lady. Take the picture. #Cats #CatsofBluesky #OrangeTabby #CatBoxSunday

Happy National Labrador Retriever Day — 💖 #BlackLab #NationalLabradorRetrieverDay

“Merry Christmas!” — Georgia

Ignatius says Happy #CatBoxSunday!

Word is that 🤬 felon is considering firing the director of the FBI. I found his replacement: Same qualifications, same intelligence, same facial expression. #KashPatel #Doppelgänger #FBIDirector

This will never not be funny to me. Sorry, mom. Happy Halloween. (Photo of what she screamed at in the comments)

Never forget: The President of the United States (whom never served because his daddy got him a bullshit doctor to gin up a fake reason for deferment) called veterans “suckers and losers”.

Ope! I forgot to post this yesterday for #NationalDogDay! 💕 from Alice & Huck #Mutts #Laborador #GermanShepard

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day *and* Sixth Birthday, Ignatius! #CatBoxSunday #BlackCats #BlackCatAppreciationDay

Day 10 with Alice and I’ll-Just-Call-Him-Dingo-For-Now: • Alice knows “sit” — that’s it. He knows “sit”, “lie down”, “off”, “shake” and “come ‘ere”. He also knows how to open the food storage bin. 🙄 • The cats, Georgia & Ignatius, like him. The third cat, Imogen, gave me the finger. #RescueDogs

Day 8 with Alice and I’ll-Just-Call-Him-Dingo-For-Now: • He’s a sloppy drunk (water is everywhere after he drinks). • Now I have two dogs with thunderstorm anxiety. • He’s tall (technically, my height) and can reach things Alice can’t. • He can devour a bully stick in under a minute. #RescueDogs

I’ve narrowed Kenny’s new name choices down to two; however, my decision is contingent on his DNA test results, ‘cause if he’s predominantly a German Shepherd, I’m naming him Lord so I can point to him and say, “The Lord is my shepherd.”

Alice got a brother. His shelter name is Kenny; new name TBD. My first thought was Letterkenny and when I wanted him to do something, I’d say, “Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.”

Today’s the day! Come play with us at Java Java Cafe! 9:30am-11:30am 836 E River Dr Davenport IA 52803 Top: Molly, Rigby, Desmond Bottom: Jude, Penny, Prudence #Kittens #FosterKittens #FosteringSavesLives

Hey, friends in the Quad Cities Area: Need a kitten and/or caffeine fix? We can help! #Kittens #FosterKittens #FosteringSavesLives

Auntie Alice takes her fostering duties very seriously; she was absolutely deflated when she learned the new kittens weren’t fans. #BlackLab #DogsofBluesky #FosterKittens

Georgia: “It’s #CatBoxSunday. Duh.”

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Anniversary, Alice! I joke that Alice is kind of a dummy, but so what? She’s a really good dog — she loves me and she loves my cats. She’s a patient Foster Auntie to my kittens. She’s friendly with new people, gentle with little kids, unfazed by other dogs. #BlackLab

Happy #WhiskersWednesday! Imogen leans in for a kiss from her mom. #Cats #CatsofBluesky #OrangeTabby

Happy #NationalRescueDogDay! — 💗 Alice Alice was adopted from the Humane Society of Scott County, Iowa, three years ago this Thursday. #Dogs #DogsofBluesky #BlackLab

I own two orange tabbies named Georgia & Imogen. They and Alice are best friends. Today in the backyard: Alice: It’s Georgia! Hi! [Hiss. Swat.] Also Alice: That’s not Georgia. #DogsofBluesky #CatsofBluesky #Caturday #BlackLab #OrangeTabby

Goodness. #Loaf #OrangeTabby #LoafMonday

This is about as outdoorsy as Georgia & Ignatius get.

My cat, Imogen, drinks beer. And not just any beer, IPAs and *only* IPAs. Which is weird, because I gave her a pine cone to play with once and she gave me the finger and stormed off to another room. #Cats #CatsofBluesky #OrangeTabby #OneBrainCell

If nieces was replaced with nephews, draw with photograph, and video games with trivia, someone would think I wrote this. Maybe we’re not special — because there are lots of us.

Them: How many kittens have you fostered? Me: 150 Them: Wow. How many foster fails? Me: Um, 20, I think. Them: YOU ADOPTED 20 KITTENS?! Me: Oh, no. I thought you meant kittens that didn’t survive. One. I have one Surrogate Success. His name is Ignatius. #SurrogateSuccess

I’ve spent the last few weeks posting a photo of at least one kitten representing the 32 litters I’ve fostered since June, 2018. At this rate, it’ll be April of 2026 by the time I finish my silly little project, 444: Favorite Photos of Former Fosters. Prepare to be inundated. #KittensofBluesky
