A Home for Carlos and Blake

Blake the kitten
Carlos and Blake, the two kittens that emerged from the cornfield behind our house a couple weeks ago, got adopted today. Just as last Sunday, they went to the Petco today where Feline Lifeline holds their adoptions. It didn’t take long before a family came by with a little boy who was quite interested in Carlos. Then the mom started to handle Blake and immediately bonded with him. It turned out that her 13-year old cat just died of cancer Thursday. They came into Petco looking for another kitty and ended up leaving with two! So Carlos and Blake, tentatively renamed Tumble and Pumpkin, are off to their new home, shared with a yellow-orange 6-month old tabby named Flash (three different shades of orange cats in one house).

Here’s a picture of Blake at Petco, curious as ever.

  1. Tumble and Pumpkin? Ouch.

    I’m glad they’ve found a home, though. And thank you, terribly, for the picture of Blake. He does have a bit of the tyger about him.

  2. A blogger I read has just lost their cat from cancer and she has a son….now wouldn’t it be an amazing coincidence if these adoptive parents are the same people? I’m not certain which part of the States they come from. If Tumble and Pumpkin appear on their blog I will let you know.
