Just as the original Golden Girls have stayed in our hearts, sweet kittens Dorothy, Sophia, Rose, and Blanche will also be there too. These happy updates always make me smile! I also enjoy being able to help educate the community on the importance of rescue work and fostering in order to save lives.” “Being able to help match them with their forever families has allowed me to make some new friends, as many of our adopters keep in touch and send photo updates. “Showing them love, telling them that their lives matter, giving them a voice, and providing them a chance that they would not have otherwise had is the reason why I foster.” “Watching their transformation from the time they arrive until they get adopted is very rewarding,” she says. The best part of fostering is “being part of the journey of sick, abandoned or homeless kittens and cats.” Little Blanche is going to her new family in a few days.įor Lori, who has been fostering through the Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership for the past four years, caring for cats has always been a labor of love.
Mama Goldie also has a new home, thanks to a retired veterinarian and her husband. “She is very eager for attention and will jump on your lap as soon as you sit down,” she says.Īnd the good news is, that Dorothy, the biggest kitten, has already been spayed and has a new home, while Sophia and Rose have found a home together. “She has a really pretty trill and is very vocal.” She’s also very friendly and easily made friends with the other cats and dogs in Lori’s home. “As they got older, I was able to tell them apart based on their striping and spots on their sides.”Īnother cute fact about Goldie is that she loves to sing, ” especially in the morning,” Lori says. Rose is darker orange like her mom, so she was easier to identify,” she said. Sophia had a dot on her right ear, Dorothy on the left. “When I first got them, I had to use a dot of nail polish on the tip of Dorothy’s and Sophia’s ears to tell them apart. The more challenging part, however, was telling them apart, so Lori devised a simple system.
Research bears this out: About 80 percent of orange tabby kitties are male, notes Cat Town.īut even though each baby is ginger, all of them have different and unique personalities. “I’ve heard that only 20 percent of ginger cats are female, so to have an entire litter of females is very unusual!” Lori says. But the unusual thing about this little troop of gingers is that all of the kittens are female, which is, in fact, kind of a rare thing. The little family was found in the basement of an empty house, and there was no food or water. These Golden Girls Had A Tough Start In Life. “I thought Mama Goldie and her Golden Girls sounded super cute!” she says. Initially, she wanted to use names related to sunshine but when she found out all of them were girls, Lori knew the Golden Girls’ names were just the perfect fit.
