Once upon a time, there was a family who had some special visitors in their backyard. It was a mamma cat and her two adorable kittens. Every day, the family made sure to feed the cats, even though they couldn't get too close to them.

However, one day, I, the daughter of the family, came home for Christmas with a plan in mind. I was determined to socialize the kittens and give them a loving home. My dad, being supportive, set up a possum trap to catch the kittens.

It took a lot of time and effort, but after about 4 hours and many attempts, we were finally successful! We caught the kittens and named them Sapphire and Scooter.

At first, it was a bit slow-going. The kittens were still wary and shy, but I didn't give up. I spent time with them each day, showing them love and care. And before I knew it, within just a week, both kittens were purring and playing just like any regular house cats. They seemed to have forgotten all about their tough time on the street.

With the power of social media, I was able to find someone special to give Sapphire and Scooter a forever home. An old friend of mine stepped up and offered to take both kittens together.

Although I miss Sapphire and Scooter dearly, their time with me inspired me to continue fostering cats in need. Since then, I have fostered a total of 24 cats, giving them a chance at finding their own loving families.

As for mamma cat, she was too feral to be socialized. However, we did the responsible thing and got her spayed. She continues to visit the family's backyard every day, knowing she will always have a source of food and care.
