Aw, they look like they are the best of friends that could really get themselves into trouble!

They are sisters and into all kinds of mischief! Here is their story and why I have so many dang animals. We lease a farm down the road from us and have some of our horses there most of the time. Richard (hubby) is friends with the owner who has throat cancer so is mostly house bound. Owner's ex (there to help care for him) loves to watch the horses and one day there were these kittens at her doorstep. She was playing with them. Richard noticed that evening there still wasn't any food/water so he asked her about it. She was not planning to feed them. They were Super small. Was actually mixture of kittens from 2 litters and then the mom showed up too. Didn't have enough milk etc.. So she was just going to let them all starve to death while petting them. I thought that was pure evil and it really pissed me (and Richard) off. So he captured them all (7 total) and brought them home. We separated mom because she had no milk. Tabitha was sick and is still super small for her age. SO long story short we found homes for only the two older kittens from a different litter. We FINALLY got all of them altered. Sadly the mom of these guys has disappeared and most likely coyotes are to blame. I just couldn't keep them all inside. At one point there were 9 cats in my house thru winter. I am allergic to cats and dogs and horses by the way and I have terrible asthma. I have transitioned 4 of the cats outside but still have the two babies (can't bear to risk them) and 3 older cats inside that just can't live outside. It's still too many and difficult to keep up with. Will see if I can find pics from when these babies first came to us.

They are all very cute! A big undertaking for sure, they are lucky to have found you.
My hubby and my son are allergic to cats too, we did have a few strays that lived with us years ago, but they were outside cats who went in the basement at night or in bad weather.

We have a bunch of outdoor and barn cats too. People just drop animals off on our door step. The latest is Nemo - a hound mix that I NEED to find a home for. If any of you know a family who is looking for a wonderful dog for their kids, he is it. He is So sweet. I had to chain him up recently because of putting the inside cats outside. He isn't mean to cats and gets along great with the ones who were already outside but if they run he will chase them. I'll post him on a dog thread later if I can find a pic of him. Here are a few more cats  Choppy (aka Chopstick) Old man. Found him in some weeds as a kitten wailing and hungry A LONG time ago.  Beau on the left.. Choppy on the right and Clementine in the windowsill - where she isn't supposed to be!  Tarzan.. he has been loosing weight lately. I have wormed him for all but tapes. That will be next. He is VERY sweet.  Taz..short for Tazmanian Devil..lol.. Richard found him in the auto parts parking lot and the attendant said he'd been there a couple of days and was afraid he would get run over so in the truck he went..lol.. He was also a kitten at the time and is one of the house cats I recently relocated to outside.  |
