Heavens, What Have We Done??

The better half and I were walking yesterday evening when she got a call from our vet's technician. She said that a guy called her and had two kittens he had trapped in his yard who needed a home. The tech was full up with pets at her house so she wanted Goliath and Bebe's World to find homes for the two girls. We went up to the vet this morning to evaluate the kittens. We looked them over carefully and they seemed to be in good health. They are about 5 weeks old so they are still too young to spay or check for FELV/Aids. I decided then and there that we would take them in ourselves. We have always adopted older cats who could not get adopted by others so having kittens is a first for us. They are isolated in the front room for a couple of weeks until they can be tested and spayed. We will then start the slow procedure of introducing the girls to our other 7 cats here.

I would like to introduce Ellen to you! She is the shyer of the two and will probably be a future lap cat.

and here is her look-a-like sister Elvira. Elvira is a real cutup, constantly playing and running around. We've only had them for less than a day now but Elvira is already bouncing all over the room.

So... we are back up to 9 cats in the house now. I think we will really have our hands full with these two girls!
