Kittens on the way!

After our tragic experience with Zen, we are finally ready to bring more lovable furballs into our home. So I would like to introduce: Loki and Izzy. We are adopting them from Kitty City Kansas. It is a rescue organization that keeps all of their kittens and cats in foster care during the week and then brings them to the Mariposa Veterinary Clinic on Saturday afternoons for adoption. Eric and I went there this past Saturday and I was immediately at ease with the operation they were running. All animals seemed very well cared for and 30 seconds into talking to any of the foster parents you could tell that they adored their temporary fur babies.

At the clinic, we met Chloe, a beautiful Lilac Point Siamese and her litter of five kittens. Chloe and her family were found abandoned at an apartment complex and then taken in by Kitty City Kansas, specifically by foster mom JoAnne. All of Chloe's kittens were precious but we really fell in love with Lucky (now named Loki) and Muffy (now named Izzy). On that day (August 22nd), Loki weighed just over 2 pounds and Izzy weighed 1.8 pounds. They were just little balls of fluff!

Loki is having his alteration surgery this week and then both kittens will be released into our care. Izzy will have her surgery once she gets a little bigger. I am bursting with excitement at having my fur babies at home and am hoping that they will be ready for the move by this weekend.
