Over the Thanksgiving holiday Adam and I opened our home to four 7 week old foster kittens. They had been born next to an old bar on Key Biscayne (and I use that term loosely... it's honestly a shack, but that's what makes it so awesome). Shortly after giving birth their mother died, although we don't know any of the details. Enter the stray dog that found the kittens and nursed them, and the owner of the bar who called The Cat Network asking for help, and then fast forward to the amazing rescuers who picked up these lucky kittens and fattened them up (despite the dogs best efforts the kittens were malnourished and covered in fleas).
After a few weeks in their first foster home they came to us, where we treated them for respiratory infections and fattened them up even more. They were four of the most loving, playful kittens I've ever spent time with... running right up to the people for pets and purrs, and having such fun exploring their bedroom!
The foster kittens have since made their way to Maryland where they'll be placed in their forever homes, but since I miss their fun tiny kitten ways I thought I'd share a few photos from the week we got to play together.
