Yuli
Yuli is brave. She is only 10 months old, but has already given birth to a litter of kittens. Despite being in a strange, new environment, Yuli is so trusting of her foster mom and an excellent mother to her three kittens: Yahoo, Yippee and Yoo-Hoo (just born earlier this week!)
WEEK 5: Kittens and Dogs
Who says cats and dogs don’t get along? Many of our fabulous fosters have resident dogs who enjoy having kitten houseguests. These dogs have an important job: getting foster kittens used to dogs in case their forever family includes a canine. Let’s meet some of them!

All kittens are born with blue eyes.
So every kitten is born with eyes as beautiful as mine???

Cats can have three litters of kittens a year (which is why spay and neuter is so important.)

Each kitten’s nose is one-of-a-kind unique, like a human’s fingerprint.
