KITTY TALES - Prentiss' Kittens part 2

Forever Loved.


When we last saw these adorable babies, they had just entered foster care. Since then, Prentiss' 4 kittens have grown strong and healthy at foster mom Suzanne's home. Black and white boy Scooter and his brother Jack, a fluffy tabby, were neutered a week ahead of their other brother and sister. They left their siblings behind in foster care and headed to the Petsmart, where they were abandoned, to stay in the enclosures where people could see them.

Tabby boy Jack never made it inside an enclosure. Former KR adopters were delighted to meet him and he was able to go to his forever home right away! Jack now has a new kitten buddy who had been adopted through a different rescue group and is loving life. Two days later, Scooter stole the hearts of a nice young couple who had just moved into a new condo. He is joining their family of two black and white kitties, so he fits right in.

The following week Jack and Scooter's siblings were finally able to get fixed. However, little fluffy black girl Vader, and her tabby and white brother Sparky never left Suzanne's. As is fairly common with new foster parents, Suzanne decided to adopt the sibling pair. Her senior male cat is already getting used to having the rambunctious babies around.

All four of these kittens ended up in wonderful new homes. With kittens, it is best for them to be adopted in pairs like Vader and Sparky or have a young kitty companion to play such as with Scooter's new home. Older cats are often irritated by kittens, and a lone kitten often ends up with behavioral problems due to a lack of feline interactive play which is very different from play with people. Whether it's an active young adult or another kitten, we always make sure our babies will never be alone.

For these four kittens, what started out as a traumatizing dump has turned into happy endings. Now, it's mom's turn to find her forever home.
