Last Weekend, I had the opportunity to see one of my past fosters (our 2nd). When I adopted her out I knew I would be okay as a foster, as I really really wanted to keep her, but that is not the point of fostering. And I would not have been able to continue fostering which I wouldn’t want to imagine the fate of what could have happened to my other foster kitties, if we didn’t foster them. I would rather have my heart broken, than theirs not beating. Like most of my fosters, Pixie Doodle is a past resident of HAS.
Pixie (nickname Pixie Doodle, because it fits) was adopted to one of the guys in the wine club Dean is in. They held their annual club judging at Pixie’s home. So I dropped Dean off, as he was one of the organizers, and was able to get my “Pixie Doodle” fix. What a beautiful cat. Pixie Doodle looked awful when we first got her home to foster her – the tips of her ears had fallen off due to frost bite, and she was under weight. Dean wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. All she needed was TLC. Now she’s a real beauty. Here are some before and after pictures of Pixie Doodle.
Thank you ACR for allowing us to foster Pixie Doodle.
Congratulations Dean on receiving silver for each of the three bottles of wine you entered. Love you and Pixie Doodle too.
Have a Great Weekend Everyone.
She’s absolutely beautiful now. What a difference love and food can make for a kitty in need.

Wonderful article Kim. Well written. It would be nice if it was shared with more readers. Especially at this time of year. Pixie Doodle could/should be a poster cat for raising awareness of why people commit to fostering and help to increase the network of fosters. Local community newpapers might be willing to run it in one of their appropriate columns.
