My husband and I went to the pet store during the holidays to adopt a dog. The foster cat program was there that day and we overheard that our two kittens were abandoned in a box and left in front of the store. It was obvious they were taken from their mother too early. They were both ill and not ready for adoption, but still needed a home when they got better.
We made a commitment to become kitten owners and visited the foster family while the kitties were recovering. When they were old enough to be brought home, the sisters were still unhealthy ... increasingly so that Noodle and Thunder spent Christmas Eve at the emergency pet hospital. They came home, but Noodle was still plagued with the illness. She was lucid and could not even manage to walk without falling flat on her face. Another trip to the hospital - we almost lost her. Although, the fever took its toll, she showed signs of improvement and strength. Noodle got healthier, but has signs of mental disability, and is camera shy.
Thunder is such a beauty, and loves to sit as you can see, with her tail neatly curled around herself. She is the more outgoing girl of the two, and a bitf luffier than her sister. They both are much loved, and since then, Thunder and Noodle have provided our family lots of love and affection.
