It’s time to get serious. These little guys are growing rapidly and are becoming more independent each and every day.
They are going to see the vet for the first time in two weeks, and get their first shots. After that… they’ll be available at the unbeatable price of $0.00 per cat! In fact, it’s a buy one, get two kind of an offer… so long as you are willing to offer a good, loving home to an indoor cat (or two).
As a reminder, they came into our possession when we adopted their proud momma cat from a just condemned boarding house.
What we did not know or expect at the time was that instead of adopting one cat, we’d be bringing home five of them. That became clear only after a visit to the vet, where an ultrasound confirmed at least three little heartbeats.
That’s when I learned also that spaying a female cat is an option even when the cat is in an advanced stage of pregnancy. Needless to say, it’s not an option we were willing to consider. We’d rather take the risk, we decided, of getting stuck with too many cats in the house. That said, perhaps my hope is not unfounded that we can find volunteers willing to adopt three, perhaps all four, of these kittens.
For what it’s worth, they truly are adorable. And if they inherited even just a bit of their mother cat’s personality, they will undoubtedly prove to be adorable adult cats, too, just like Luisa.
No, no names yet. For starters, we still cannot reliably tell them apart. In any case, it’s up to their new owners, I mean servants to name them.
