A Little TLC and PT

This is a short story about a determined kitten and his family, by his foster mother, Maggy Grant.

“On July 15, Deliya and her litter of 3 kittens moved into our home, their foster home. Deliya is a sweet, loving tabby who is a terrific momma cat! Salsa is the smallest of the litter but more than makes up for it with her spicy personality. She loves to run and jump on her siblings. When Bean isn’t asleep, she is exploring the guest room. She loves to sit inside boxes and is always up for a wrestling match with Salsa and Burrito.

Burrito is the largest of the kittens, with a determination that matches his size. For some reason, Burrito’s leg muscles didn’t gain the strength that his sisters’ did, so he is wobbly and needs a little extra help. Three times a day he puts on his kitty harness — recycled mask — and we do feline physical therapy. His back leg strength has improved so well that he can now push himself up from a crouched position. He often tries to take off at a run! This morning he stood on his own, a big accomplishment for him. Although we are still working on his balance, we are certain that with physical therapy and lots of love, Burrito will be just fine.

If you are considering fostering, I hope you will. This is why I do it: My heart says one can never have too many animals, but my head doesn’t agree. Fostering allows me to have “more” animals without the forever commitment that I have with my two cats and dog. Money can’t buy happiness, only dust catchers and clothing I will probably never wear. Being a foster and giving to The Haven gives me a sense of making the world a better place, one animal at a time.”
