Homeward Bound

I am a lover of all animals and believe that animals improve peoples lives.  We started the day Nadia and Nicole were born teaching them a love and respect for animals.

In addition to our own animals, we strongly believe in animal rescue.  While my schedule does not permit me to volunteer at any shelters or organizations, our family does foster kittens and cats for a local cat rescue, Homeward Bound.

We are currently fostering four 6 week old kittens.

Fostering involves providing love and shelter for cats until they are old enough to be adopted.  Many people wrongly assume there are many people who are fostering so they won't be needed, however, there is always a lack of foster parents.  Another misconception is that it will be hard to return the cats when it is time for them to find their forever homes.  The joy that comes from a kitty finding their forever family outdoes any heartache that comes from returning the kitties.

 Nadia and Nicole love the kittens we foster.  They have learned to become gentle and play nicely with them.  Since they became old enough to interact with the kittens, Nadia and Nicole have become more careful in all their activities.  They have learned to respect the animals boundaries, as well as becoming more respectful of peoples boundaries.

Fostering has been a win win situation for us. I highly urge everyone who is able to volunteer in any capacity with an organization.  The benefits are more than can be counted.
