Goodbye Kittens

It was so hard to give away the last two kittens. Kittens? Oh yeah, my cat had 6 kittens, and I wrote a post about it, but never finished it so it never got posted. I'll have to throw some pictures up here so you can see their absolute cuteness for yourself.

These last two were the only girls of the litter and I didn't want to give them away but had no choice. I live in a no-pets-allowed apartment, and my neighbors have been so great. I'm pretty sure they knew about the cats all along and never told anyone, but next month I'm getting a whole new set of neighbors and can't risk being kicked out of my apartment if one of them squeals on me.

So I put an ad in the paper on Saturday, including the address of the website with more details about them . I secretly hoped that no one would call so I would just have to keep them. Unfortunately several people called that very same day, and people are still calling so I added the info of the vet I go to on the website, because they have some cats looking for new homes. Both of my babies found new homes within 24 hours. Today I delivered them to their new owners.

I'm so worried for them. They cried the whole way to the meeting place, and Ruby (the black one) in particular is so afraid of everything that I hope moving to a new environment isn't too traumatic for her.

Both families seem so nice and I'm sure the kittens will like their new homes once they get used to their new surroundings. After living with them for 6 months and completely falling in love with them, I can't help but wish they were still mine. When the new owners came to get their new kittens and had gone, I sat in the car and cried for a half hour before driving home.
