A Tale of Two Kittens




Last summer we wrote about a litter of kittens that remarkably survived exposure to distemper. These lucky little cats were part of a litter of nine kittens that one generous momma cat was caring for out on the streets (her own six plus another three that she'd adopted)!

Batman and Robin were two of those kittens, adorable little black cats who were placed into a foster home together to be socialized so they could find loving forever homes.

The two cats look alike and are siblings,but that is where the similarity ends. Batman nicely integrated into the household and became a friendly and loving little cat who was adopted by a wonderful family that adores black cats.

Robin was very timid and spent much of his time hiding and avoiding his foster family. We didn't know if he would ever be adoptable. However, with patience and time, Robin has begun to overcome his fear. He will now eat treats right from people's hand, and he loves to play with string toys and with the other cats. He also likes to sleeps with his foster mom at night, cuddlign and purring away. Although he is still shy, Robin has come a long way and is ready to be listed for adoption after 7 months in foster care.

Once again, we are most grateful to our dedicated foster homes who work with these cats and give them a chance to be happy and cherished pets in loving homes. For more information on this sweet boy, please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com.
