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

🐈‍⬛🍼🐾 FKP Coming Soon : Little Black Kitten
Household Management Trainee

Age: Young enough to think a broom is the greatest thing that has ever existed
Experience: Extensive, self-reported

Skills:
• Broom Pursuit Specialist — treats every sweep like a high-stakes mission
• Laundry Basket Quality Control (occupies basket during and after folding)
• Dishwasher Loading Supervisor (watches intently, offers no actual input)
• Shelf Inventory Auditor (periodically confirms items are still there by touching them)

Work Style: Deeply committed, mildly chaotic, 100% convinced it is essential to the operation

References: “Followed the broom across three rooms without losing focus once.” — Foster parent

Compensation Expected: Belly rubs, a sunny spot, unlimited supervisory privileges

Ideal Home: Somewhere with chores to “help” with and humans willing to admit defeat gracefully when the broom wins

This one’s ready to bring the enthusiasm — the skills are still developing, but the dedication is already five-star. 🖤

🐈❤️🐾 Purrfect Match, FKP edition!
Meet Menchi 🐾

Age: Born October 2025
Looks: Gorgeous tabby
Status: Single, looking for a playmate

About me: I give kisses and head butts, but I’m not a pick-up kind of girl — cuddles happen on my terms. I need a cat sibling to play with (being an only cat left me bored and lonely last time). Kid-friendly, catio-obsessed, and prone to happy love nibbles.

Say hi to Menchi 🐈❤️ She’s back in foster care through no fault of her own, and honestly, we’re struggling to let her go. Sweet, playful, and looking for a home with another cat and a family who lets her come to them. Pretty sure she’s perfect. 🥹

🐈‍⬛ Our foster kittens need you right now. 🐾

We have neonatal kittens arriving that need round-the-clock bottle feeding, and our adult cats are due for their annual exams — vet care isn’t optional, and right now we’re stretched thin.

Every donation helps cover vet visits, formula, and supplies for kittens who can’t survive without us. Scan the QR code above to donate directly — even $10 makes a real difference.

Want to see these kittens grow up and find homes? You can also check adoptions and our full wishlist through the same code.
