Story
Adeline's story began when she showed up at midnight at one of our foster colonies. She was hungry, confused, and frightened. Not having a carrier with her, the colony's freed was forced to leave Adeline. Feeling horrible about the events of that night, the feeder woke up very early to go back and find Adeline. Adeline had been waiting for her to return the entire night. Seeing the feeder, Adeline ran to her, purring...the rest is history! The feeder is now Adeline's foster.  Adeline is estimated to be approximately 2 years old. She is a healthy little girl that is full of life and has a lot of love to give. She is being fostered in a home with other cats, dogs and birds. Adeline gets along well with the other cats, tolerates the dogs, but think the birds are appetizers - so please, no homes with birds! Adeline was born around September 11, 2023, and is currently being fostered in Watertown. She is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Applications for adoption can be found at our website at www.fosterandforever.org. Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24-48 hours.December 22, 2025, 2:35 pm
