Yet another book that I wish every shelter and rescue could have 🐾❣️

Having been involved myself with feral care and fostering this story really touched me and the thing is children are like sponges and if we can get the mindset right at the foundations then we have great building blocks for the future ….

Adopting and fostering is a big step and this book and it’s illustrations explain everything so beautifully and both adults and children can learn so much from this read 🐾❣️📚lessons in caring and nurturing is given but also the harder part , letting go to their new homes and that’s a life lesson that is both heartbreaking and rewarding 🥰

I’d love to have copies in my school library to share with my little friends !

Oscar and Emmy’s family have started to volunteer at their local animal shelter where they read to the residents there who are waiting to be adopted.

One day, they bring some tiny kittens’ home with them, and Oscar and Emmy immediately lend a hand by helping them to settle into home life and treat these temporary residents like family, or at least until they are adopted by another family.

This is a lovely book about how to start looking at fostering young kittens, what goes into looking after them and the responsibilities involved, and it is done in an easy-to-understand way which everyone can learn from.

I have loved all of the books in this series, but this one may just be my favorite! I read it with my 8-year-old and 12-year-old kiddos who also loved it. I feel like the author does an amazing job explaining the process of fostering animals and not just including only the fun parts. We always love the illustrations and these beautiful pictures fit in well with the rest of the series. It promotes reducing the crowds in animal shelters and explains how much fostering benefits everyone involved! I highly recommend picking up this lighthearted but incredibly educational book on fostering kitties. It would be a wonderful fit for your home or your classroom!

Cute and informative book!
Charlie and Abby volunteered at the shelter, reading to cats. After their first day, they talked to mom about fostering cats, after explaining to the twins what it would entail they agreed to do it.
The kids took care of 4 day old kittens with the help of their Cats Oscar and Emmy for the next 12 weeks feeding them, teaching them how to use the litter box, etc…. At 12 weeks, they started interviewing families and got to choose which families take them home.
It would be a perfect book to read to kiddos and explain how fostering works out.
It’s definitely a great book.

This is a great book for kids and the responsibility of caring for foster pets. A family takes on three young kittens that must be bottle fed and need a lot of care. Oscar and Emmy, who were rescued themselves, nurture the young kittens and help them develop as they grow.

A well written book about fostering kittens that children can read and understand. Abby and Charlie hear about the need for people to foster kittens. After talking about it with their parents, and discussing how their cats Oscar and Emmy might react, they foster 3 kittens to help the kittens get used to being around people and other cats. The kids in the story understand why fostering is needed and learns how rewarding it is while it also can be a lot of work.
The illustrations are beautiful and make it easy for the kids to follow. I have read a few books by the author and appreciate how well written it is for young readers.

I read Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens with my 7 year old before bed, initially my 9 year old declined joining us. Shortly after overhearing the first couple pages, my animal loving son was excited to join in. This was a great story to teach fostering and it’s importance all while appealing to young children in a fun way. The kids and I really enjoyed taking turns reading this book and we will be reading more about Oscar and Emmy in the future for sure.

Parent Readers Beware- Your kiddo will likely ask to foster kitten by the end of Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens. I read this book with my 8 year old, and that was his first question, followed by disappointment when mom said no. We have read a couple of books in the series, and always love them. They are great learning tools, but perhaps I should not have chosen this particular topic lol. The illustrations are great- colorful and assist the story. Oscar and Emmy are the cats belonging to twins Abby and Charlie. Their family volunteers at the cat shelter, then decide to step it up a notch and foster a litter of newborn kittens. We are taken through the adventure, learning a little about the process and the growth and development of the kittens. I love that the book addresses the topic of “foster fails” and their mother had an excellent response when asked about keeping them.

Oscar and Emmy love reading to the kittens at the local shelter. When they hear they can foster kittens, they become excited. Their mother finds out exactly what will be needed to foster pets. The author really brings fostering to light. Her story leaves nothing out. Opening the eyes of all interested in helping to foster any pets. The story is clearly written and easy for children to follow. I loved that the children fell in love with the kittens. Even more that the mother talked about not being able to keep the kittens, and helping others, including their own grown cats. Great story and a must have for all libraries.

Another lovely book from this author about caring for cats in the community. This time Oscar and Emmy, and their human family are helping to take care of foster kittens for a local shelter. I don’t think it matter which country you live in there is a huge cat problem from people not neutering their cats at an appropriate age. I myself, in the UK, foster cats/pregnant mum cats and kittens for a local charity so I love that this book is out there for readers to see how important foster work is in the animal sector. The books went through all the responsibilities of looking after kittens and it was written well. The story was accompanied by beautiful illustrations. One thing I will say is do not underestimate the work that goes in hand-rearing kittens – it’s hard work!
A great book that’s raising awareness for the need of foster homes for abandoned and stray cats.

Beautiful book, the artwork is lovely. I really like how this book showcases how fostering kittens works, the work that goes into taking care of the kittens and the adoption process. There are some things I learned as an adult that I didn’t know before. I didn’t know that when the kittens are still young the mom licks the kitten to encourage bowel movements. Everything is laid out nicely in a timeline from birth until 12 weeks when they get adopted, with updates on the kittens and how they are growing. It is a very clever idea to have the kitten care list for families taking care of kittens. All over a great and informative read!

These Oscar and Emmy books are always so cute and informative about animals. This one specifically deals with fostering. Charlie and Abby learn so much through fostering three tiny kittens. These books always take real life pet and animal problems and bring them to an age appropriate level for children. Over crowding at animal shelters is a very real, very common thing. This touches on it gently and helps teach about what it’s like to take in kittens, but then to adopt them out so that you can take on more to help with the over population of cats.

I am writing this semi biased as I LOVE cats. This book was super cute and informative about fostering kittens for the target age. I would find this very appropriate to read with kids when considering fostering cats/kittens. I was able to connect with this in my own experience as someone who fostered a litter of kittens. I enjoyed the voice of this book and thought they handled the part where they had to let the kittens go very well. The children handled it better than I did!

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is the eighth book in the Oscar and Emmy series by Terri Sabol. It is a uplifting children’s story that is woven around some really cute illustrations.
Charlie and Abby (twins) have been volunteering at an animal shelter and discuss the possibility of fostering animals with their mother. The family discusses the responsibilities that fostering would bring, and then the opportunity to foster (3) 4 day-old kittens comes along and they embrace the chance to help. We follow along with the twins, as well as Oscar and Emmy (the family cats) as they help care for the kittens. Fostering the kittens from 4 days old to 12/13 weeks when they are put up for adoption. Along the way, we also learn about kitten care, reasons you should foster, facts about fostering/volunteering, and much more. I thought it was a really heartwarming story, especially when they find the perfect fur-ever families for the kittens at the end. So sweet.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Terri Sabol!

Charlie and Abby learn that there is a need for families to foster kittens at their local shelter. They ask their mom for help, and along with Oscar and Emmy, the family helps to get the kittens off to a great start. Charlie and Abby are responsible for feedings and teaching the kittens to use the litter box. Oscar and Emmy help support Peach, Pear, and Plum as they navigate the world at large.

This is a great book to read with youngsters who may be interested in having a kitten. It could help them realize the responsibilities that come with pet ownership, while also encouraging a fostering situation to begin with to make sure that the placement is a good fit for both parties. This book also briefly discusses spaying/neutering.

Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is another wonderfully put together story in the series and one not to be missed just like the others.
Oscar and Emmy won’t leave anyone out and help to look after the precious cargo whilst the family learn what is required when a new pet or three come into the home in this next instalment of Oscar & Emmy Cat book series. Everything a pet could want, or need is explored.
This educational picture books guides you through every aspect of what type of pet is right for you and what is needed to care for the pet.
Oscar and Emmy Foster Kittens is a well thought out story and draws the reader in.
I have fostered cats and always taken in cats from rescue homes to ensure they are well loved within a forever home with me or another.
Children will delight in the colourful illustrations as well in the story itself.
