WELCOME OUR NEW KITTENS!
The morning after our Junior Boy died, I called our veterinarians with the sad news. Neither of them were able to take my call but I left a message with their staff. At the end of the conversation, I mentioned that Tom and I would eventually hope to adopt another cat, or two, and that if anyone in the clinic heard of an adult cat, or maybe two kittens, needing to be rehomed, to please let us know.
Two hours later, Dr. Kerry called offering her condolences.
At the end of the conversation, she mentioned that the children at her son's school had found two abandoned kitties outside the building early that morning. The school principal asked her help regarding feeding the hungry kittens and rehoming them.
They were estimated to be 5 weeks old and, except for an infestation of fleas, they appeared to be healthy. She guessed that their mother was a feral cat. Dr. Kerry strongly recommended that the kittens not be separated as they were obviously very strongly bonded.
She asked if we wanted to see a photo of the kittens. I shared the photo with Tom.
Tom had them named before we got to Hood River.
It will take time to teach these young kitties the necessary skills needed to assume the blog duties so expertly filled by Junior Boy. Until then...
Yours Truly,
Margaret
