The Kittens

There were four little barn kittens...about four weeks old....they were very sick. I took them and nursed them back to health with the help of a vet that charged only for the antibiotic shots and oral antibiotics  and eye drops.
The very tiny white one did not live. Though he sure did try.
Slowly the other three went from no energy to some energy to delightful, endlessly energetic and entertaining kittens.
The time came to find them homes....not easy. But, with help from family and friends we found three wonderful homes...in Vermont. So we packed them into the car and off we went.
Bob, the orange fella and the little gray one quickly settled on top of the suitcases behind the gate. But Calico Kali was freaky....she started to foam at the mouth after forty minutes.... I took her out and she settled on my lap purring away.
Shortly before getting to our hotel that night the other two kittens escaped from behind the cage...but, they too settled in the back seat.








We miss them.....
