Animal rights activists from the Orphan Kitten Club in San Diego raced to the rescue when they learned about a pair of kittens in peril. They were just three days old when they were picked up on the street without a mother and sent to a local shelter.
She took in the kittens and began raising Yige Zhao, the animal protection coordinator. Even though their eyes hadn’t opened yet, the young girls were clearly linked to one another. Yige called them Samwise and Frodo despite the fact that she had no idea they were both females.
The tiny girls began to gain weight and grow more lively as a result of the foster mother’s devotion.
Adoptive dad Justin, who works from home, took over the daytime feedings while Yige was at work. The kittens received the care of both foster parents and all the attention they needed.
Frodo was delighted with her bottle. During feeding, she liked to take a break – roll over on her back to have her tummy scratched, to which she responded with a rolling purr. Her black and white sister Sam is also full of adorable features.
“At the bakery, Sam works hard, endlessly kneading phantom bread” (treading on blankets with his paws). “She needs to be in the mood to start and stays off the bottle for more than a few seconds at a time,” writes Yige.
At the time, the couple was caring for three more infants (all delivered preterm). When the trio had completed their incubation period, they took up residence in the arena with the kittens.
Then, one lovely day, Frodo and Sam discovered a little awkward figure in their arena. Frodo stepped over to explore with considerable trepidation.
The figure turned out to be a puppy who passed out as soon as he and his siblings relocated to a new location.
Frodo decided to embrace him, and they ended up around each other with their paws. Sam came over to greet the puppies as well.
“The kittens are two weeks ahead of the pups, so they’re the ideal fit for the time being.”
Puppies will need to engage with their siblings as they expand and grow as part of their socialization. But initially, the kittens will happily offer their feline wisdom and unending love.
They played together, embraced the pups before going to bed, and even tried to clean the puppies’ faces with their little tongues.
“One of the most devoted and happiest kitties we’ve ever had is Frodo and Sam. In reaction to affection, they continually trample on their paws, purr, and grasp for our hands.
The sisters do everything together, like Siamese twins. They adore everyone they meet and are sweet to the point of impossibility.
When it came time for adoption, the rescuers knew their best friends needed one loving family to share.
Jeremy had just intended to get a pair of kittens for his home. He was absolutely enthralled when he came across a spectacular duet and recognized they were the ones.
The animal rights activists add, “We are really glad that the girls relocated to the appropriate owner together.”
Miko and Shiko, the sisters’ new names, enjoy the life of their dreams with their beloved.
They still do everything together, and they’ve already joined a few of Zoom sessions to observe how dad works.
Jeremy comments, “I am pleased to have these females in my life.”
