I am THRILLED to announce that Bugsy & Roo have been adopted by a wonderful couple!!!! The kittens were being a little shy, so we don't have a family "gotcha day" photo, but their new mom will send an update when they are acclimated.

This is such a great day. Bugsy and Roo are the best kittens we have ever fostered, and have had a rough start to their lives. There were times that we didn't think they would survive, and now here we are!

I am over the moon that they now have a loving forever family! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😻😻

Please share to help Bugsy and his sister Roo finally find their home!

Bugsy & Roo are some of the best kittens in the world. But unfortunately, having Feline Leukemia doesn't make you very adoptable. 😿 There's a lot of outdated information about FeLV out there, and it can be scary for people to think about adopting a cat with special needs.

But the truth is, these kittens are just like any other kittens! Bugsy & Roo LOVE cuddle time, can't wait to play with you, and are ready to give their new family their whole hearts. Their immune systems are just weaker than normal, so they are more likely to get sick. All they need is a family who will provide them with a great, stress-free life and regular vet care.

Can you find a spot in your heart for Bugsy and Roo?
Will you share to help them find their families?

It's time for these kittens to find their HOME! FeLV kittens deserve love too!

Someone come adopt this crazy kitten! Roo has SO much love to give and can't wait to play with you!

She was also very thankful for her new toy today :)

Guys, I am so excited! Sweet, cuddly, playful little Bugsy and Roo are finally getting spayed and neutered on Thursday! You know what that means .... it's almost time to find them a home! 😻🎉

These special kids have been through soooo much and deserve a special home! If you want more information, please reach out!

29/12/2021

Man oh man, it is time to get these kittens fixed and off to their forever homes! The babies have to stay confined to their own room because we have cats and they have FelV. But Little Miss Roo has taken to jumping out of her foster room as soon as I open the door and running off down the hall to say hello to Hamilton, our golden retriever! 😹

28/12/2021

I can't believe how wonderful these little floofs are doing. They've both come back from the brink of death to be just the happiest, cuddliest, sweetest, weirdest little kittens in the world 😊 It's about time for these kids to get their vaccines and get spayed/neutered, and then to find them a forever home!!!

If you or anyone you know is interested in a pair of wonderful kittens, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! These special babies are looking for a very special home.

02/12/2021

Bugsy & Roo are two of the greatest kittens of all time, and they are going to be adoptable SO SOON!

These two babies are complete purr monsters. You can scoop them up to cuddle and they start purring. You can pet them and they start purring. Heck, sometimes they start purring if you just talk to them. They've had a rough start in life, but despite all the poking and prodding and vet visits, these kittens just LOVE love! In face, both immediately started purring when I picked them up for these photos.

If you are looking for a pair of social, loving, adorable, dog-friendly kittens, Bugsy & Roo just might be for you. ❤️😺😻 I am going to be sharing more about these cuties and what kind of special home they are looking for, so if you know someone who may be the purrfect family, send them to this page!

Look who made it home from the hospital!!! 😻❤️ THANK YOU for all your well wishes, prayers, and donations at arf-il.org/donate. Lil Bug isn't out of the woods yet, but his fever is down and he's happily playing at home with his sister. He's a fighter!

11/11/2021

This morning, Bugsy was as happy as a clam. You can see in these adorable pics I took this morning. He ran around to chase the feather toy, demanded that I brush him, and was purring away constantly. This evening, he was hospitalized with a 106.4 fever. If you don't know about cats, that's VERY high. Most kittens would just be laying there with that temperature. Not Bug! He was still purring away and loving cuddles.

As much as I love that he was still happy, it is sad to think that Bugsy has been through soooo much in his short little life that he's probably gotten used to having a fever. That's the unfortunate reality for kittens who get FelV so young. Their poor immune systems just keep getting battered and battered. I left Bugsy with his favorite sleep sack, his brush that can elicit purrs no matter what, and cuddles from his foster mom. But if you could keep him in your prayers, I would really appreciate it. I am so worried about him going down the same road as his sister, Sadie.

It's been expensive trying to save these kittens! Weekly vet visits, hospital stays, medications, food, and litter really adds up. If you're able, please make a donation to ARF at arf-il.org/donate ! Everything helps.

Bugsy and Roo are the purrrrrfect kittens. They LOVE love, and will run up to you for snuggles and loud purring. But they also LOVE running around and playing! These two social kittens are the best of both worlds!

03/11/2021

Bugsy is a TOTAL cuddle bug! Don't you just want to curl up with him while he makes muffins?

It pains me to say that we lost our Sadie girl today. (formerly Splat, but we always called her Sadie). She was the healthiest of the three kittens when we got them a month and a half ago. No sniffles or eye problems like Bugsy and Roo. But she quickly gave us a scare with neurological symptoms, fevers, and an 8 day stay at the hospital. She was getting better, but the fevers and neurological symptoms came back a week ago. She has been hospitalized again and was not doing well, so we've let her suffering end and she crossed the rainbow bridge today.

I will remember Sadie as a sweet and sassy little kitten. She loved making muffins on top of her siblings and pushing her way to make sure that I would pet her more than the others. She was soooo beautiful and, when she was healthy, she had chubby little cheeks and was a piggy at the food bowl. She was quick to purr and loved cuddle time and chasing a feather - even when she could barely walk!

I adored her and I am devastated to lose her, but it gives me peace that she knew lots of happiness in her short life and will no longer suffer. ❤️

Don't worry, I promise Splat and Roo aren't giving you the stink eye on purpose 😸

The three stooges went to the vet yesterday and we've got a whole new plan of attack to try and get better! Their poor immune systems have taken such a hit that they can't seem to catch a break. They don't have ulcers in their mouth from feline calicivirus anymore, but everyone's eyes are messed up, Splat is still wobbly, Bug has a sore on his face, and Roo had a huge abscess on her head that ruptured.

Nonetheless, these kids are as happy as could be! They LOVE to cuddle and they purr away like motors. My phone is filled with blurry pictures of all three of them this morning because, just like every kitten I've met, they really don't like sitting still for a photo 😻

11/10/2021

The babies still have a ways to go, but they've come so far! I had to post a picture so you guys can see how Bugsy's face has filled out.

Unfortunately, this is an old picture and Ms. Roo's eye has gotten really, really swollen. But, she's got good news too. We've gone from her being feverish for the last several days and needing syringe feeding, to her eating some on her own and not feeling warm. Progress is progress!

Not pictured is Ms. Splat, who is still recovering from toxoplasmosis but doing much better. ❤️

26/09/2021

This is Roo (grey) and Bugsy. Yesterday, Roo had a softer p**p because we've been switching between a/d wet food and CN wet food. She's a polite girl, so she tried to bury it with litter.

Unfortunately, she missed the litter and kicked p**p ALL OVER THE WALL, scared herself, and ran around the room with p**p on her foot. After we caught her and cleaned her up, I found a p**p paw print ON Bugsy. 🤣

That's what a Saturday night looks like with foster kittens! 😻

23/09/2021

Meet Bugsy, Roo and Splat!

After successfully fostering and adopting out 25 cats and kittens, my husband and I were taking a break from fostering for a while. We even took down our catio! But when we were contacted about stepping in to help another overwhelmed foster parent, we couldn't say no 😺

The poor kiddos have Feline Calicivirus, but they are already doing a LOT better than they were when we got them a week and a half ago. Bugsy opening his eye is even something new, even if it's a bit hard to look at! And Roo is almost completely better, with just a little problem lingering in one of her eyes and some congestion. We got here with daily subcutaneous fluids, syringe feeding, eye medicine, antibiotics, and LOTS of love. My mom has been coming over every day to give them lots of cuddles while I work too.

They've still got a ways to go, but I'm so happy to see them getting better! They are the absolute sweetest kittens too.

23/06/2021

We've got six new residents in the catio! Just until Friday when another foster parent will take them. We are gonna soak up all of the orange tabby loving we can get until then!

17/06/2021

Mission Impawsible: foster kitten edition.

19/05/2021

Imagine my surprise when I walk out to give the kittens their lunch and find ALL FOUR little mischief makers up ON TOP of the catio! Just having a little cat nap, too! 🤦🏼‍♀️

We forgot to latch the bottom part of the door, so they must these little escape artists must have squeezed their way out and climbed on up! Mom was still happily hanging out in the catio. Thank goodness we kitten-proofed the garage (to the extent it's possible to kitten-proof anything) and they didn't get into any real trouble!

Look at these curious kittens checking out their new litter box! 😍

13/05/2021

We just got an update on our sweet Daisy girl and I am just thrilled that she found her purrfect home!!!! 😻 We LOVE updates!

"She is doing amazing. Still runs when loud noises go off. Is doing amazing with are dog. She loves spending her morning with a full tummy and sun bathing in the bay window set up for her. Thank you guys for helping find the perfect cat could be happier.

She loves having her tummy rubbed. We will be on the sofa and she will come up and flop over and light wrap her paws around my hand and pull it to her tummy. I am really amazed how she has blossomed ( no pun intended ) from the little shy thing we brought home to this."
