Day in my life as a foster mom.

2025/6/15 Edited to

... Read moreFading Kitten Syndrome (FKS) is a serious concern for foster moms, involving a rapid or steady decline in health in kittens from birth to eight weeks old. Symptoms may not be apparent initially, often worsening quickly. Foster parents must be vigilant, offering specialized care including high-calorie nutrition, hydration support through oral or IV methods, and even B12 injections to bolster recovery. Understanding FKS is crucial, as many kittens struggle to thrive, with many not making it past eight weeks. Providing love and medical assistance can make a significant difference in their lives. Foster moms create a supportive environment, focusing on nutrition and emotional care. Their stories highlight the importance of awareness and proactive care in tackling the challenges associated with kitten fostering. Through shared experiences, they can inspire others to embrace the vulnerability of fostering and advocate for these precious lives.

Foster care never gets easier. Your prayers just get longer.
The amount of kids my heart longs to hold, hug, and laugh with again is continues to grow. I just want to know all of them are safe, loved, and deeply cared for. 💕 #fostermom #fostercare #childwelfare #momlife

Foster Care is Hard
My heart will never be the same. Being a foster parent is the hardest thing ever. You learn to grieve children that are STILL here on this earth, walking around, but not with you anymore. You are taught so many life lessons. Your heart grows for each new placement, and shatters when they leave. Goo

how to foster non-sexual intimacy
Intimacy doesn’t just mean having sex with someone… it's the closeness you feel to others when you feel truly open and able to be yourself. Without intimacy that closeness never has the chance to take root. Sharing these forms of intimacy with others is what turns a casual acquaintance into a c
