We’ve all really been missing Sepia, and I’ve been casually searching petfinder.com to see if there were any little kittens in our area up for adoption. The minute I laid eyes on Jordan I melted. Marty agreed. I immediately filled out the adoption application online through the Billerica Cat Care Coalition, and was approved. Approved, you may ask? Yes, approved — they check references and your vet record — seriously. The kitten’s mother, Angel, a Calico cat with medium long hair, and the litter were living in Lowell where the Mom was being abused by neighborhood kids and the kittens were living in an abandoned apartment building hallway. The kittens were born in the first week of September, so they are just about eight weeks old.
This morning we went to Petco in Burlington for a meet-and-greet with Jordan and her siblings (the kitten’s first outing). I mean, would it have even been humanly possible to say no once we saw these little loves in person? I don’t think so. So, Jordan (kitten standing in bottom picture) and Donnie (first kitten in top picture) are ours, and we pick them up next weekend! Jordan is the only gray colored cat of the litter of five and has yellow/gray eyes (the other four are orange and white) and Donnie is the only boy and mostly orange with blue eyes. The kittens appear to be a Tabby/Tortie mix with long hair and big round eyes. They love to eat, play, and get into mischief. We’ll be giving them new names after they come home.
The other siblings are Joey (white and buff), and twins Dani and Joanie (both orange and white). I wish we could have brought the whole lot home, but I think two frisky kittens will be more than enough!
