Buff and Cooper - 1 yr since rescue

[Piparskeggr]

1 year ago today Buff (our bleach blond tiger boy) and Cooper (our very dark blue boy) were rescued from an horrible, ongoing hoarding situation in Harrisburg, PA along with their siblings Harrison (dark blue boy), Daisy (dark ginger girl), Angelina (cocoa tortie girl) and a little tortie girl that did not make it.

Buff and Cooper joined Teia, Anita and me on 19 October.

All the kittens were found in a collapsed, bug ridden wood pile at the edge of the hoarder's property.  Buff left hind leg was in such bad shape they thought he'd lose it.  All had various illnesses their first couple of months.

All are now healthy, strong and happy in forever homes.

Help to rescue/foster/adopt and spay/neuter so more unfortunate little bits of spirit are not trapped into a hell not of their own making.

That did sound like a great pic!  But, with all of them getting along so well, I bet you'll get an even better shot in the near future!!

Hope you're doing well, taking care of yourself, and feeling great!!

I had the camera on and a really nice shot framed earlier, but the battery died as I snapped.

Miss Teia and Buff were having a snack, not just near each other, but they were touching along half their body length. This held for almost long enough for me to change the batteries, get the shot lined up again and, no Buff.

I'm really unhappy I could not get that picture, for the first time in her life allowing contact like that by another cat.

I love Happy endings!!!!!

May all of you live a very long life in each others love and care!

The big thanks go to Julie, John, Beth, Daniela, Linda and Loretta.  They did the initial rescue and Loretta fostered Buff, Cooper and their siblings.

If anyone is interested, look up the Manada Street Cats are dying on facebook for updates.

I'm glad the boys were rescued from such horrendous conditions and are now in a happy forever home.  Mr. Hunter is also a rescue kitty.  Although, he didn't have such a dramatic horror story.  I'm so glad you were able to rescue the two boys when you did and that they're doing so well now.

The boys seem to be good buddies and get along great!!  Good to hear.  

Maybe they think that Teia is the Queen Bee of the home.

Buff and Cooper have a friendly wrestling match every evening, which sometimes over runs Anita and me in bed.  Both both squeak a bit when the other gets a little rough.  They seem evenly matched.

They'll also sneak up and grab ahold of the other to do the vicious ear lick, groomy thing.

Hi Pip

Thanks for sharing a little of Buff and Cooper's background.  They've grown into such healthy and beautiful boys, or should I say young men.....LOL.

The boys appear to be getting along well.  Are there any fights for dominance between the 2?

Our Dear Pip,

  Heartfelt congratulations to all who were rescued a year ago.  That's love that has kept on giving to this day.  Love that you, Anita, and Miss Teia  now are and always will be reaping.

  So here's to the furry ones and the human ones bless every one of you.

  Thanks for sharing them with us, we're legacies of love and miracles.

  Always,

  Melinda
