It’s been a while since my last blog post. I continue volunteering with Friends of Rescue (FOR; info@forrescue.net), but I have not been able to photograph as many \u00a0fosters as I wanted to. Kitten season started late, but it’s now hitting the TN Valley with a vengeance. Shelters have been flooded with pregnant cats and mothers with newborn litters. Rescue groups can’t keep up, and it is hard to know that you can’t save them all.<\/p>\n

Enter the All American Kittens event held on July 2nd. Foster families brought their foster kittens to the FOR Oakwood Avenue office to play with other fosters, and to give the public the opportunity to meet several kittens at once. I was lucky enough to spend some time in the room with them, and I’m posting the images of some of those present. It was a lot of fun, and some adoption applications were completed (fingers crossed for adoptions!). Congratulations to the organizers and foster families that made this event possible!<\/p>\n

There will be two more kitten parties during the summer. I will post details as soon as I find out. But in the mean time, take a look at these faces, and please consider helping FOR and other local rescue groups. They make a difference every day, but they need our help!<\/p>\n
