Lynley Cannon, star of the Crazy Cat Lady cozy mystery series, is often referred to as a crazy cat lady herself, but when it comes to the feline species, this sixty-something cat shelter volunteer knows her stuff. Check here each Friday for instructive and intriguing information on our favorite subject: cats!
As a cat foster parent, I bring new kitties home on a regular basis. Are my cats happy about it? Not really, but with careful introduction, they adjust. I start the new cat in his own separate space, then let him familiarize with my cats by exchange of scent (cat-bed towels work well). When both cats seem ready to meet, I allow short moments of sight accompanied by treats. It usually takes about 2 weeks.

I always liked to be a foster parent but at present my son is at home.x😻💞🐾🐾
Maybe another time.
It takes special people like Miss Lynley, to foster animals. Mom has thought of becoming a foster momma for kitties, but she feels she’d get too attached to them and would have a hard time letting them go when a permanent home opened up.
Both Little and Tinkerbelle are cats I adopted after fostering, but many others have gone on to good homes. I love the shelter I foster for, and know they will get great homes so that helps.
