It actually happened; we have adopted not one, but two kittens!!!
When my friend sent me a picture of a cute calico kitten, she was still just a “barn cat” her boyfriend found living in a shed in freezing Indiana. My friend was trying to convince him to rescue her and take her back to California for me. I said yes, not really thinking it would happen. But it did, and he even caught one of her brothers!
He spent a couple of weeks working with them to get used to people and then drove across the country with them in a crate; it took 4 days. After that, they kept them for a week and took them to the vet. They had ear mites, but were otherwise healthy kittens, around 6 to 9 months old. The girl is smaller because she had to compete with her 4 brothers for food. They are both great hunters, and he said they caught a snake, a squirrel, birds, and a lot of rats. 😬
We picked them up Saturday night, and they are super adorable, sweet, and affectionate despite their wild past. After much debate, I think the names Oliver and Remi are going to stick!
My husband and I are thrilled to add these two to our family and welcome them with love. Let the kitten adventures begin! 😂❤
