Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Friends rescued a pair of kittens, they have had their vet work done and they asked me to help find a home. The kittens are so bonded that they wanted them to go together. I don't do cats but do know it's a tough business, it's hard enough to rehome one kitten, never mind a pair - they are not purebreds and don't look alike as you can see from the picture. The pics landed in my email at the same time as an email from a very old friend of 20 years or so. She was telling me that they'd lost their 16 yr old cat 2 weeks before. They lost their other cat 3 yrs ago. They've always had 2 cats and believe firmly in rescue. The email said "we are not ready for another pet at this time". I replied with sympathy and pressed "send". Then I thought to myself that I could be missing an opportunity .... I sent a pic of the kittens and said maybe they could consider them in a few weeks' time? Guess what? Those kittens will shortly be flying to their new home ... Miracles can happen Edited March 29, 2014 by Her Majesty Dogmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellnme Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I always think it is a shame when much loved pets die and people say they would never get another pet as it hurts too much. Seems a waste of beautiful homes! I love this story and two very lucky kittens seem destined to spend their lives in a great home. Well done, Dogmad.
