save the kitties!

my good friend emily found 2 kittens amongst the frozen bodies of their brothers and sisters the other day :(

she's nursing them back the health... but that gets expensive! and in this time of giving and helping out those tinier and much cuter than we are... i give you this post:

a note from the kitties:

The week before Christmas we were found living in a groundhog hole on the side of the road in Salem, Michigan. Beside us were the seven unfortunate bodies of our brothers and sisters, frozen and starved, but we managed to survive!

We will be making our first trip to a veterinarian (whatever that is) on Monday and we are going to be vaccinated, tested for infection and likely treated for mild frostbite to our kitty-toes. Our foster-mom says this is going to cost quite a bit of money, as we also have worms and earmites.

There are two of us, a female black-and-white and a male brown tabby-and-white. We are both domestic short-haired kittens between the ages of 5 and 8 weeks old. We will be ready to go to new homes once we are healthy and at least 12 weeks old. We are both pretty awesome at keeping our waste in the litterbox and we are getting better at cleaning ourselves now that our foster-mom has showed us how (with a washcloth, not her tongue.)

If you can spare a paypal of $1 (or more) or if you are local to ann arbor, michigan and would like to donate pop cans to our Kitten Can-Can drive, you would be contributing to our health and wellbeing. If we can raise enough, our foster-mom is going to have us spayed/neutered before we go to good homes! We don't know what that means but Boy! Doesn't it sound fun?!

a note from emily:

-- The female is younger smaller and more independent than the male. She is very playful but willing to cuddle quietly. She is definitely the caretaker. She cleans her brother and keeps an eye on him. She currently has a habit of shivering when she's purring. Depending on finances we may have to have her tested for nerve or brain damage as she suffered from hypothermia when we picked her up. I will post frequent updates on her condition on my kitty-Twitter @EMJKitties.

-- The male is more of a cuddlebug. He insists on snuggling and will lie on his back with his toes in the air if you pet his belly.

Thank you for your time and help. All paypal and contact can be sent to Emily at [email protected]

a note from katie:

i've seen these kitties in person and they are ADORABLE and i'm donating to help them out :) they're so CUTE!
