The Foster Kitten Project

The Foster Kitten Project The Foster Kitten Project rescues orphaned and abandoned neonatal kittens. In 2004 Jenni found her first kitten, Samantha.

All Adoptable kittens can be found on our website at, https://sites.google.com/site/thefosterkittenproject/available-for-adoption?authuser=0

Our founder, Jenni Riha, grew up in a rural area of Springfield, Nebraska. She graduated from Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in 2001 with a degree in Veterinary Technology. Samantha was found right after birth, with the umbilical cord was still at

tached. With no momma cat in sight, Jenni took Samantha in and cared for her. Samantha was Jenni's first foster fail. After continuing to take care of the occasional abandoned farm kitten, Jenni found herself fostering more and more. In 2014, The Foster Kitten Project was born on Facebook where she could share her happy, and sometimes heart wrenching, stories. In 2017, Jenni found herself desperately trying to reunite a neonatal foster kitten with the rest of his siblings before they were picked up and euthanized for being too small, expensive, and time-consuming to care for. This was when the true purpose of The Foster Kitten Project was born. Jenni wanted to focus on orphaned and abandoned neonatal kittens. In 2018 she earned the not-for-profit 501(c)3 status, and The Foster Kitten Project has been saving neonatal kittens ever since. It is important to note that each kitten costs roughly $250 to care for. This not only includes, food and supplies, but we make sure each kitten is
- Microchipped
- Given age appropriate vaccinations
- Dewormed
- Fecal tested
- Virus tested (Including FELV & FIV)
- Spayed or Neutered

In 2020 alone, we took in and cared for 139 kittens and 5 pregnant or nursing moms. By the end of 2020 we successfully found loving furever homes for 119 of them. Please check out our website, thefosterkittenproject.org, to learn about

Glinda (the good witch) is an amazing cat. She is friendly and loves to play and her best quality is she loves to cuddle. Sleeping at night she is at the foot of the bed and when you wake up, she might be sitting on your back or nuzzling your nose. Glinda loves playing catch with her foster brother and sister. She is a good companion and will do well with other cats as she likes their company. At first, she is a little standoffish and then she will wear them down with her playful attributes. Does not get along with well with dogs and prefers friendly cats. Glinda has been in foster care for 240 days. It’s time to get her adopted!

The Ultimate Guide To Cat Coat Colors - Part 2 of 4

Did You Know All Cats Are Secretly Tabby?
Yup — even your sleek black kitty might be hiding some stripes! Here’s the fun scoop on cat coat colors and those famous tabby patterns:

Color Basics: Black vs. Orange
Every cat’s fur color starts with a base: black or orange. That color can also get “diluted,” turning:
* Black → gray (aka “blue”)
* Orange → light cream or buff
Then things get interesting...

The Tabby Gene (aka the Agouti gene)
The agouti gene is like a switch that turns the tabby pattern “on.” It’s dominant, so it's pretty common — which is why so many cats are tabby!
But there’s also a non-agouti gene, which hides the tabby pattern. Think of it like putting a blackout curtain over the stripes.
Here’s the twist:�The non-agouti gene only works on black pigment. Orange fur? Totally unaffected.�That means ALL orange cats are tabbies by default. Even if they technically shouldn’t be!

Wait...Can Black Cats Be Tabby?
Totally! If a black cat has the agouti gene, the tabby stripes are there — you just usually can’t see them.�Sometimes, in the right sunlight or when they're still kittens, you can catch a glimpse of those hidden tiger vibes. 🐅

So Many Tabby Types!
Tabby isn’t just one look — there are four main patterns, each with their own vibe:
1. Mackerel Tabby – The OG tabby look: narrow, tiger-like stripes. Think classic alley cat.
2. Classic (Marbled) Tabby – Big bold swirls and blotches. It’s like tie-dye for cats.
3. Spotted Tabby – Leopard vibes! Seen in breeds like Bengals and Savannahs — exotic and wild-looking.
4. Ticked Tabby – The sneaky tabby. No clear stripes on the body, just little stripes on the face and legs, with salt-and-pepper fur elsewhere. (Shout-out to Abyssinians!)

Cat Fact Bonus:
* The orange tabby stereotype? Like Garfield or Puss-in-Boots? It’s real. Most orange cats are male, and they’re always tabby. No exceptions!

Cats are basically walking genetic masterpieces — from shadowy hidden stripes to bold jungle-cat patterns.�So next time you see a cat, ask yourself: What kind of tabby are you, really?

A shoelace that she proudly carries around the house, turning every corner into her own personal playground.
