Okay so here's the story.

Three years ago a pregnant cat was wandering around our neighborhood. Our next door neighbors decided to take her in. She had a litter of six kittens. Our neighbors kept them all but didn't get any of them spayed or neutered. As I said, it's three years later. This summer eight cats were wandering around. When my mom and I saw them congregating we started bringing them food. We asked our neighbor about it when he told us that the kittens kept having kittens. His explanation was "If I had sex with my sister we couldn't make a baby, right? But them, it's different. Big momma and little momma have babies with their babies and their brothers. It's weird." My mother and I exchanged a look. In an attempt at birth control our neighbors through the male cats out of the house.

They were really skinny and uncared for since, apparently, there wasn't enough cat food to go around and my neighbors didn't seem to grasp that cats need food. We started to bring them wet food, water, and dry food and worked to get them adopted as our neighbors didn't want them anymore. Since the summer we got homes for four of them.

But then it got bitterly cold. The cats were freezing so my family took them onto the back porch with a space heater. Then it got too cold for that. So now they are living inside my house. We can't keep them, however, since we have four cats already.

These boys are literally the sweetest cats in the world. They are extremely well behaved and get along with all other animals and are very people friendly too. Everyone who has adopted them has told us how much they love them. The one downside is that they haven't had any of their shots or been fixed. We adopted one from the litter as well so we know they're feline luke negative.

If anyone lives within driving distance of New Jersey and wants a cat please PLEASE let me know. We will drive them there! They desperately need homes, permanent homes. The animal shelter in our area can't take them in due to a ring worm infestation that has them under quarantine for another six weeks. It would be nice to get them homes before that. Under the cut are pictures of the kittehs in question.






This is Big, one of the original litter. He's literally the biggest cat I've ever seen in person. He's extremely gentle and patient and a complete attention whore.




This is Faulkner. Because I am a pretentious-pretentious human being two of the cats from one litter (who are roughly one-to-two years old) I named Faulkner and Hemmingway. Faulkner has more black in his coat so he was the darker story teller and Hemmingway is a macho outgoing feline. Because of that Hemmingway was already adopted. At first Faulkner was really shy but now he's grown to be cuddly and sweet.




And this is Louis. He's named in part after the Left 4 Dead character and in part after a gray cat we used to have named Eloise. He was also pretty shy at first but now is extremely playful and gets himself very excited about being pet. He's actually about to do one of his rolls but I stopped petting him to take the picture and he did not approve.

spam, cute
