Last night Gracie, the chocolate lab, treed a kitten.  I couldn’t see much, but when I flashed a light up the tree I saw the yellow tabby clinging to a branch.

Throughout the night I checked on the kitty in the tree.  The kitty was still there this morning, so Mark, with the help of a tall ladder, liberated the kitty from the tree. 

Descending the ladder with the mewing kitten in his arms, Mark and I heard an answering mew…kitties in stereo! Out from under a nearby bush emerged another little kitten. . . The two brothers were happy to be reunited.

So it seems the kittens were dumped.  I know the story well….someone does not spay their cat…eventually a litter of kittens are born…the kittens are cute, but after a while they are a nuisance….the kittens are loaded up into the car, driven to a neighborhood down the road and dumped in the woods.  It could have been worse for these kitties…one time as a child, hiking in the woods with my mother, we came to a river with a gunny sack floating in it…guess what was in the gunny sack.

Anyway, one person’s solution is now my problem.  With two rescued dogs who do not know how to act around my two rescued cats (who were dumped here many years ago), I’m full up with rescued pets. 

Do you have a place in your heart and home for a beautiful pair of male kittens?  If you can help, please post a comment here or send me an email (julie at funfoodlife.com) with your contact information and let’s talk.
