Found in the bushes all alone at around 4 weeks old, this little guy was turned into us at the SPCA, like so many other lost, unwanted, or abandoned animals. He was small but feisty and in need of a foster home until he was old enough for adoption. Nick and I obviously volunteered and were extremely excited, although we weren't sure our cats would feel the same way. We designated our bathroom to be Kodiak's home, for the first few days at least. He soon outgrew that, and before long he was on his way to taking over the house. He figured out that when he meowed constantly, we would let him out of the bathroom, and that when he stuck his claws out, he could climb up on the bed and the couch. He also learned that Riley is ok to pick on and play with, but that he should leave Bailey alone because she is a princess and is not to be messed with. Now as I am typing this, the little guy has fallen asleep on my foot, and with each day nearing the time we must bring him back to the shelter for adoption, we find ourselves quite attached to him. As hard as it will be to take him in and set him up in a cage, I can only hope that he will be adopted quickly into a new loving home. We must also keep in mind that as spring and summer approaches, there will be many, many more unwanted kittens who will also need a foster family and a fat orange cat to pick on!

he is TOO cute!! You are both so very kind to foster that sweet little kitty!
You might just come back to cda with a truck full of animals rather than all the furniture you took with you.
How can you say no to that little face!
