When our “surprise” kittens were born we made it quite clear than we would only be keeping them for a few weeks. We needed to find good homes for ALL of them.
It was therefore with great delight I received a phone call yesterday from a friend, of a friend, of a friend. She had heard we had kittens. Her four year old daughter had her heart set on a calico kitten, but through a miscommunication, the little kitten they thought they were getting was given to someone else. The child was heartbroken. Did we have any calicos? I was quite glad to tell her we had two . . . and certainly we would be happy to give them one.
After hanging up the phone I realized David was trying to deal with two kids who were crying hysterically. (Cole was asleep for his nap). Though they had prepared themselves to give the kittens away, they were hoping to give all of them to relatives so they could visit them.
Though almost all of our relatives have moved to Texas now, we have so far only had two takers on the kittens. That leaves two more to give away elsewhere.
Why are these things so difficult?!!

I have a seventeen year old who has been asking for a second cat for about seven years now. I keep giving the same answer, "no". It doesn't get any easier even as they get older. She knows just how to pull at my heartstrings.
still have that calico? Jon is close. I got prices today on getting it fixed...he's on the edge.
Oh my goodness- Jon wants cat???? Is the world still rotating in the right direction?
Oh the joys of childhood perspective. Some days it makes you cry with joy other days it just makes you cry. Good times.
Nice idea with this site its better than most of the rubbish I come across.
