Gingerbread Kittens Update – Flame & Ginger
/
Fire & Ginger in their new home
Earlier this Summer, Feline Friends London had rescued a mother cat Geeta from a storage area under the stairs of an estate along with her 5 kittens.
Geeta had been going through the litter bins and was begging for food from the residence of the estate, but when residence noticed that her nipples were swollen and that she was going in and out of a storage area, they got in touch with Feline Friends London.
Geeta had hidden her 5 kittens behind dozens of boxes, bags, bicycles and prams. Thankfully, after a lot of work removing items out of the storage space, Feline Friends London managed to locate all the kittens. They were only around three weeks old and were put in the carrier and taken to a foster home.
Since then all kittens have been adopted, including Flame and Ginger [pictured] who have found their new home. 12-year-old Sam from the family who rescued Flame and Ginger, wrote about the day when he and his family picked up the new kittens in the diary entry below.
Feline Friends London are thrilled that all the kittens have found a new home
Saturday. The big day. The day we would be receiving two small, cute, playful furballs. My eyes were wide open, my heart was beating like a hummingbird’s wings. And yet, I was still slumped down in my cosy bed. 3:30pm was AGES away. Exactly how long is that?? I honestly can’t wait ‘that’ long. It’s only … 05:40!!!! WHAT! How in the world, no GALAXY am I going to fill up that time? Oh, I forgot two hours of swimming, lunch and breakfast. Fine. Not too long.
North London… Fifteen minutes away, time was going so quickly, it was being hunted down. Anxiously, we drove down the quiet street, to where the owner waited to warmly greet us. At this very moment time started slowing down. I had enough time to admire all of my distinctive surroundings. As we entered, I scanned the room for two tiny ginger balls of fluff. Nothing yet. Aha! A door! They must obviously be in that room. Inside ‘the room’ was a mess but there were three ⚡energetic⚡ kittens running around the room. The owner scooped two up and put them in a basket. The journey home was very exciting and tense but we managed to restrain ourselves. When we got home, the kittens were out of the cage as quick as a flash. Although they did hide, trembling, under the warm radiator. Cowering together, I gently called their new names: “Ginger, Flame, Welcome to your new home. We hope you’ll be very happy here”.
