Andy and I went to CatNap in LaGrange Park yesterday morning to look for new kittens. Our only requirement was that we wanted shorthair cats. These two were bonded as siblings so we asked staff to bring them into the kitten room so we could play with them. The shelter was having its "Christmas in July" adoption event and bazaar so all of the cats seemed pretty overwhelmed. They were fostered in a home with kids and we were told they did well there.
We decided to adopt them. We had them in the carrier in the back of Andy's car but I forgot to latch the carrier. We were a few miles from home when Andy noticed one had escaped.
I tried to hold her so Andy could drive.
Then the other one escaped. The first escapee is on Andy's shoulder in this pic. They're both girls. At least that's what we were told when they double-checked them.
Pretty kitten. So far, no name though.
We settled them in L's room but left the door open so we're hoping they'll feel comfortable enough to wander onto the main floor.
She needs a name too. They didn't tell us how old they ate but we're guessing three months since they were around the size of other kittens that were labeled three months. Not an exact science to a shelter, I suppose.
The shelter gave us a goody bag with some toys and food and an Advent cat calendar.
I went upstairs around 6 p.m. last night to check in on them and found them sleeping together in a bin of blankets in L's room. Don't they look like they just woke up?
