The Humane Society asked me to make a video and shoot some photos of the kittens to send to rescue groups and animal sanctuaries, hoping the kittens would receive a placement at one of them. The kittens may need costly medical care as they grow, and therefore they are considered unadoptable. It is unrealistic to assume a potential adopter would be amenable to paying for such care, which could include specialized surgeries costing thousands of dollars. The chances that an adopter would abandon them or euthanize them were too high.
Here's the video I made:
Within a few days of posting the video on Youtube and having the Humane Society share the link, I got a call from the Humane Society that Best Friends, a sanctuary in Kenab, Utah, had accepted them! The only problem, finding a volunteer to transport them. After a few more weeks time, another volunteer offered to drive them the 1100 miles to Utah in conjunction with her vacation to the Grand Canyon. I said good-bye to Bentley and Kangaroo last Friday, and within 24 hours I was given 4 bottle-feeding baby kittens. I miss Bently and Roo even though I am so busy with the new kittens.
Kangaroo is much smaller than her brother Bentley.
Kangaroo watches deer grazing in our neighbor's yard.
Kangaroo mid-meow while sitting on the perch in our outdoor cat enclosure.
Bentley suns himself on our back deck (secure in the new cat enclosure so the kitties can get some fresh air and sunshine).
Goodbye sweet kitties. I'm so happy you are going to be together in life. Enjoy that sunshine in Utah!
Here's a link to the Facebook album about their journey to Utah, made by the volunteer who delivered them to the sanctuary.
