We were contacted at the end of June by a kind-hearted lady who needed help with a family of kittens that 'adopted' her when she started feeding their mama. She trained the babies to show up for meals and got most of them used to being petted or held by the time an IAR foster home (mine!) was ready to take them. They came into foster care at about 11 weeks old, and as a result it takes them a little while to get used to new people and new environments. They are incredibly bonded to each other, feisty when they're comfortable, and they turn to their foster mom for cuddly reassurance when they're not. She wouldn't trade that cuddling for the world.
