When the kittens are in the pool, Phoebe's there to supervise.
00:06
Once the kittens are out, they'll lie on a big towel and Phoebe will lick them dry.
00:13
She's like a little nanny.
00:15
I had no idea that Phoebe was going to be this good with the kittens.
00:20
That was not part of my plan. She just did it.
00:23
I started fostering kittens because Phoebe was scared of cats.
00:33
She was growling. She was trying to hide.
00:38
I felt like, oh, I've got to do something.
00:41
You're okay.
00:43
I could see that she kind of wanted to get to know them.
00:46
Good. Good girl. Good job.
00:50
We would use some treats.
00:52
And it took about a week when we finally felt comfortable letting them interact without putting a barrier.
01:00
Good job, Phoebe.
01:03
First time Phoebe spun in front of me because there was a cat.
01:08
That's when I knew she's going to be fine.
01:11
You can see her jumping.
01:14
And after that, they were best friends.
01:18
We fostered kittens named Biscuit and Gravy.
01:22
First few weeks, they had a really bad parasite infection.
01:26
I made sure to sanitize their living space so that they don't get reinfected.
01:32
Phoebe likes to inspect everything when it comes to kitten stuff.
01:37
She was by their side as they got better.
01:40
Thank you.
01:46
And within a few weeks, the kittens finally got better.
01:50
They started to play.
01:55
She wants to be involved in everything.
02:00
Phoebe is really amazing with them.
02:03
She helped the boys blossom into their personalities.
02:08
When the day came where Biscuit and Gravy got adapted,
02:11
Phoebe knew something was happening.
02:17
She was licking Biscuit and Gravy's new mom.
02:20
And she even got to say her final goodbyes to Biscuit and Gravy.
02:26
I'll never forget how special that moment was.
02:30
It is such a blessing to have her help me with the kittens.
02:36
It's not easy fostering, but I feel like Phoebe and I are a good team.
02:43
She's just so patient and tolerant.
02:47
She used to be terrified of cats,
02:49
but fostering kittens brought out her nurturing side that I didn't even know she had.
02:57
I feel really, really proud of us as a team helping those kittens.
