Laid-Back

Weasley, a domestic shorthair from Divide, Colorado. "I fostered a mother and her three kittens for Teller County Animal Shelter," writes shandley. "This kitten was unusually trusting and relaxed. He loved to have his picture taken and seemed to know how to look right into the camera in all the shots. He was adopted into a wonderful family with three children, so he is continuing to get and give lots of love. I find fostering kittens to be a very rewarding activity, and it allows me to give kittens a great start with lots of life skills. I also offer Kitten Kindergarten classes so others can learn what kittens need so they can grow into healthy, well-socialized cats."
