In 6 days, they go home.
Great home, but still.....you can't have them for a year & just "let them go".

(BTW - sharky - that's the bed they adore)

Hopefully, I'll get the videos I took of them up soon. Taking a ton of pics in the next week.

What sweet kitties
! I could never say goodbye and let go after a year ... I'd end up with two more kitties! That is great what you've done for them though

I don't think I could let them go, they are adorable, especially the little tabby boy. The pic that looks like he is waving is the cutest thing ever.

Just look at those 2 gorgeous boys!


I don't know how you do it. I could never let them go after that long. Heck one day here and I wouldn't be able to let them leave. I could never be a foster meowmy. I'd end up with 700 cats for sure!

They really have turned into lovely young adults Nat, and that is all down to you. IT isn't easy letting longterm cats go (the longest here has been 14 months, followed by 9 months, it was made easier in both situations by them having spraying issues), but a necessity to continue to allow us to help other needy babes - and sadly, there will always be plenty of those.

What a bittersweet moment it must be for you. So long you despaired they wouldn't find a home, but now it is time for them to go.

It's been a year already? It doesn't seem like nearly that long. I'm sure they will miss you, Nat.

There's no way I'd be able to let them go after a year. But I'm sure we will still see plenty of them. Keep us posted Sharky.

Aww what a pair of cuties engaging in violent war games
Love the part toward the end when someone muttered something as if in mild protest

They look great. You have done such a good job with them (I remember their gunky eyes & health problems when you took them in). They are going to a good home (where they will eat only the best foods!) and you will have room for the next needy souls

What lucky little boys they are. Not only were they given a chance at life by you, but now they will have a great home with Sharky and they will not be separated.


I know it must be so sad for you, Nat, you are so strong and dedicated to your calling

I'm happy that they are going to someone on here so that we will always be able to keep up with them

I couldn't ask for a better home, I keep throwing out their issues one by one & sharky hasn't been phased yet!
(They are incredibly inbred, back at least 4 generations
)

For those who don't remember, these are the kittens I brought home. Their sister, Paprika, who was adopted long long long ago, is the orange/white one.

Punky, right off the bat, thinking back, he was in the worst shape of all 3



His "weird" habits started at a young age...he still chews this







Punky, the world's CUTEST baby






My favorite pic of all three




Then they grew...



...and grew....



....and changed status roles, Punky's now alpha cat!



Now they can stay together, furr-ever
