Not actual human-style babies (ewww),
we have cat babies !!!!
From the South Ocean County Animal Shelter.
They popped up on my Facebook feed a couple weeks ago.
Even though there are dozens of adorable cats and kittens at the shelter I volunteer at (Cape May County Animal Welfare Society), I felt these three really needed my help.
All three are, as you can see, black. Black cats usually have a hard time getting adopted.
And all three have FIV, which means their immune systems aren't the best. Another reason it would be somewhat difficult for them to find a home.
So, two strikes against them.
I have experience with FIV cats. They can live as long as any other cat, provided their indoors-only, and are well-cared for.
All my cats, going back to Cat no. 1, whom I got when I was age 7, were/are indoors-only and very well-cared for.
However, back when I lived in Philly, I would occasionally let this one or that one or the other one go out in the backyard for maybe 20 minutes, so they could play Jungle Cat, but for every second of those 20 minutes I would be out with them, making sure they did not exit the yard.
Currently, the furmily resides in my office, which boasts numerous cat trees, numerous beds, and the Food Lady's* attention for hours and hours a day.
*They've always referred to me as The Food Lady.
