When choosing to self-isolate you look for things to do that do not involve venturing out in public. We generally do quite a bit of traveling each year. This year is different. So why not volunteer for our local Humane Society. Kittens are the first thing that came to mind. Foster training was required via a Zoom classroom. A handbook and application fill in more details for both us and them. We indicated a willingness to care for kittens. This is a new venture for us. The program we are involved in is to care for a kitten(s) that are too physically small for the neutering surgery required prior to adoption. Once a kitten weighs 2 lbs it can have surgery and be available for adoption. Due to the pandemic all pickups and drop offs are done in the parking lot of the facility. We have been enjoying our time with these babies. And we get to name them too! Our community has a large feral cat population. Kittens may have been abandoned or the mom was injured/killed. We do not learn the back story. We just get to love on them and teach them that humans aren't so bad.
