Sleek housepanther Torvill and his floofy tuxie sister Oksana are 14 weeks old, have been neutered & spayed, are up to date on their vaccinations, and it is time for them to find their forever home! He is a super playful boy who bounce-bounce-bounces across the room after toys, has tons of energy, and yet will let you pick him up and hold him on his back like a baby (for a few minutes, anyway, until he decides he's got places to GO). He tolerates being kissed, purrs like crazy, and loves to bounce up after feather teasers or chase toys you toss for him. Sweet floofy Oksana is a tiny bit shy, but warms up quickly. Like her brother, she'll let you hold her on her back like a baby, and is SUPER playful - we're pretty sure she's got springs for knees, because that girl will BOUNCE at the slightest provocation.

Wolfie has really grown. Hard to belive when I first got him he weighed barely 11 ounces. My time with him will soon come to an end. Fostering is truly a blessing. #fostercareadoption #fosterkittens #fosterkitten #fostermom #kittenlove #fostermom #fostermama #fostermomlife #kittenfostermom #kittenfoster #kittenfostering #kittenlife https://www.instagram.com/p/ChbgdciuIvP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fostering is such a rewarding thing and it is even more amazing getting to foster with my beautiful fiancé @estrada_marisa!! #fosterparents #fostermamas #thefosters #mckameyanimalcenter #adoptdontshop #puppylove #furbabies (at McKamey Animal Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cHKg8H-BpQWZqdkfPaoiehuqEOeFRhYpKR5s0/?igshid=1ot0oqv0ursog

It’s amazing how quickly plans change in #fostercare. A #fostermama has to be completely flexible to put the needs of a child first, but others in a case seem to only look at what’s convenient. Every placement change a child experiences causes anxiety when trauma has already caused instability. The removal itself is trauma. We don’t know what’s going to happen so all we do is keep on loving in the moment. #ThisIsFosterCare #fostering #fosteradopt #fostercareis #fostadopt #fosterfamily #fosterlove #fostercarelove #fostercareadoption #fosterparenting #fostermom #fosterkids #fosterkid #gettooattached #fostercareishard #fosterparents https://www.instagram.com/p/CNq4H34hmbu/?igshid=10i0noo73yjs4

I saw a “foster parents do it for the money” comment this morning. Fine. You know what, you’re right. The $0.64 per hour really makes the drama and the loss and the bottle washing and the driving all around and everything else totally worth it. It’s the money. Sure it is.

Here it is. My motivational #nationalfostercaremonth post.

Also, I got pooped on while writing this.

Welcome to the foster crew, kitten! This lovely lady is about 10 months old and already VERY pregnant with at least 4 babies. Cats go into heat around age 4-6 months, depending on health and time of year. A good friend pulled her off the street just before last nights 10F cold. She’ll be crashing with me to have a safe and healthy birth and then will be spayed along with her kittens to be adopted. The second picture is of her ultrasound that I did for fun and practice. We found four definite placentas and one that, to my deeply untrained eyes, was either a bladder or a placenta. Fun fact: cats (and dogs) have Zonary Placentas which means that each fetus is encased individually in a placenta that is attached to the uterus by a band encircling it. Cats also release multiple mature eggs at one time but not all may be fertilized by one male, meaning left over mature eggs have the potential for being fertilized by other males. Regardless, all the kittens will likely be born at the same time. This girl is about 40-45 days along so she still has 2-3 weeks to go. But her little babies are already saying hey 🐾😻 . . . . . . . . . . . . , . #vettech #vettechlife #vetlife #cats #catsofinstagram #catrescue #tnr #trapneuterreturn #tabbycat #mamacat #pregnant #pregnancy #birth #prenatal #preterm #babieshavingbabies #teenmom #rescuecat #rescuepet #foster #fosteringsaveslives #fostermama #fostercat #fosterkitten #neonates #neonatal #bottlebaby #bottlebabies

#MABCRBart is enjoying this whole #socialdistancing thing. He thinks it's pretty amazing to have his #fostermama at home #alldaylong. He loves laying in the grass with her while she reads. #mabcr #rightdogrighthome #canIinterstyouinasecondhanddog (at MABCR) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-X2emmnWa3/?igshid=10dvdw6hq7d8h

It's pretty clear to me that I support all post partum and pregnant Mama's. Since I can't help the human Mama's due to the COVID19 stuff, I jumped on an opportunity to help out this feline mama needing a place to crash with her SIX newborns. #fostermama #crazycatlady #postpartumexpert #catdoula https://www.instagram.com/p/B95GvVDJdUa/?igshid=1ls3psaqhd9xl

Had a lovely chat with some kinship carers and special guardians with Adopt London West this morning! I talked through my books and how they can be used to normalise different family structures and to explain adoption, foster care, kinship care and the role of a judge in child protection. If you're in social work or part of a support group for kinship carers, special guardians, adopters, or foster carers, I'd love to talk to your group about my books! Please feel free to PM me or email holly@hollymarlow.com 😊 . #kinshipcare #specialguardian #specialguardianship #specialguardians #kinshipcarers #adoption #fostermama #fostercare #fostercarer #fosterfamily #socialwork #socialworktoolkit #socialworker #childprotection #socialworkresources #fostercareresources #adoptionresources #kinshipcareawareness #kinshipcarer #kinshipcarereadinglist #kinshipcareresources #supportgroup #support #supportnetwork #adoptiveparent #adoptivefamily #lifestorywork #blendedfamily #blendedfamilies #lovemakesafamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWrFFxoj8n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Annnd we have kittens! At 5 this morning, #Katia went into the crate. I peeked in on her at 8, and didn't see anything, but it's really dark in that crate and I only glanced because I honestly didn't think she'd be the first to have her kittens. Fred called down to me just now (it's just after 11 here) to tell me he'd heard kittens squealing. I count three mostly black kittens, but it's possible there are more. I'm hoping she's done - the kittens are all very clean and dry, so they've been here for a few hours, I'd guess. I took a quick picture, but don't want to stress her out, so I'm giving her space. #KittenLympics #TheOlympians #fostermamas #fostercats #fosterkittens #newbornkittens #loveandhisses #forgottenfelineshuntsville #ffhsv

Just outside your comfort zone is hope for a child who needs normalcy and love. Why not you? Put that faith in the same direction as outlined in the Bible, forward. . . . . . . #adoptdontshop #momlife #adoption #family #adoptionrocks #fosterchildren #love #adoptionjourney #fosterparents #fosterfamily #fostermom #lovemakesafamily #fosterkids #foster #adopt #fostermama #fosteringsaveslives #thisisfostercare #fostering #fostering #fostercare #adoptionislove #foster #fostercareawareness #fosteryouth #fosterlove #nonprofit #fosterflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr8Bp9n8Bv/?igshid=prmrktif28mx

#SANASANA #Repost @afri.kari ・・・ This little gorgeousness is Sana Sana, a baby girl elephant born in 2015 who end up alone for reasons unknown. Thank God for the @dswt who offered her a home and much needed milk and care. I was lucky enough to have become the foster mama of this pretty giant baby for almost 2 years now. The orphanage send me updates and photos once a month about my foster babies. They are thriving thanks to the amazing crew of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the stunning caretakers who stay days and nights with the orphans to replace the presence of their mothers from which they're so close. This picture has been taken by Annie, she took the time while working on an art project to go to the David Sheldrick orphanage to take pictures of my babies and send them to me until I go there myself. The David Sheldrick Orphanage is a very serious NGO whose only goal is to save elephants and reintroduce them into the wild where they belong, so if you want to be useful to a much needed and important cause go to their site (link in bio) and foster one or more baby elephant @dswtfosterparents. And big shout out and many thanks to you Annie for bringing me fresh news about my children 🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🦏 #elephant #baby #MyBabe #smile #SanaSana #ambo #tusuja #solio #rhino #SaveTheElephants #SaveTheRhino #SaveLions #SaveThemAll #SaveHabitat #orphan #foster #FosterMama #protect #RainbowWarriors #ProtectWhatYouLove #reconnect #wild #wildlife #WorthMoreAlive #animals #BanIvoryTrade #DavidSheldrickWildlifeTrust #KevinRichardsonWildlifeSanctuary
