About 6 years ago, Punkin was abandoned in a snowstorm in an industrial park parking lot. She was only weeks old and was found crawling out of a sewer hole, frozen and barely able to walk. We weren’t sure she would survive.

As you can see, she not only survived, she thrived! She’s a mommy’s girl who loves to cuddle and take lots of naps.

Last February, Poppy was found at my husband’s job site. She was about 3 to 4 weeks old and far too young to be away from her mother. Needless to say, she made her way home in his pocket and has been a handful ever since.

Full of play, she reminds us daily that she is definitely all kitten. There is no rest for this little girl.

Our most recent rescue, Peanut, was found wandering the streets about a month ago. She was matted from head to toe, so badly that it impaired her movement. She was also full of stickers and spurs.

She was covered in fleas, and her eyes were so badly infected that she kept them closed. Exhausted from fending for herself for far too long, she slept constantly.

We found out that she had a terrible respiratory infection and that she wasn’t a kitten, which surprised us because she was so tiny. She was actually 4 to 5 years old.

Now, after a few vet visits, medications, and lots of TLC, her eyes are clear. She is well rested, feeling better, and loving being spoiled with lots of belly rubs.

One new trait we’ve discovered is that this little one is pretty talkative. She has plenty to say!

These 3 babies have come into our lives and brought us so much joy. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
