How Fostering a Kitten Changed My Life

 Hello and welcome to a very unique blog post! Last month, I fostered a 6-year-old cat named Graham from Paws Chicago Medical Center. 





 

Fostering Graham has been such a fun and educational experience. I already had a cat and dog at home when we got Graham so I was nervous about how he would interact with them. It took a bit of time but eventually Graham and my dog, Liza, became very good friends.


They will lay by each other and play together. Graham has made Liza even happier than she always is because she finally has someone who is as wild as her to play with. The hardest part of this process is introducing Graham and Link, my other cat.

Link has had some issues in the past with other cats which makes it hard for him to trust Graham. Recently, they have been sitting on either side of the doors that separate them and smelling each other.




I have been researching the best ways to integrate their lives and I have learned that the key is patience. 

Graham is an extremely sweet cat, and I couldn’t imagine my life without him which is why I decided to adopt him. 

This experience has taught me that I have a real passion for caring for animals and making sure that they have proper homes. This has lead me to make a goal for myself of volunteering at animal sanctuaries every summer.
