Just last week, Rupert met his new mom, Kendra. In the past, animals had always found their way to Kendra, and she had never been in the position of being able to "pick" her pet. So, when she visited all the IBKs, I think she was a tad overwhelmed by this concept.
After spending some time with the kittens, and getting to know them a bit, Rupert was the chosen one.
On Wednesday Kendra came back to visit her boy. Rupert was asleep in the basket. Clovis was next to him, fully alert, and completely charming. He just wiggled and squiggled around in there, offering his paws to Kendra, batting his eyelashes, and showing her his round little belly.
Today I got a call from Kendra and yep, Clovis has a home now too.
Rupert,, you've got yourself a brother,, forever.
I sent Kendra your way and was so thrilled when she called me to say she was taking both of those little dudes! She's going to be an awesome mom to these cuties and they are going to have a great life with their big sister Kona, the sweetest dog you ever met. And of course their fabulous aunt Sarah. LOL!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations are in order for Kendra! As a big fan of the IBKs and one of the fortunate friends who has made their aquaintance, I know you'll absolutley adore them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah for sending her our way !!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news! Brothers forever! Kendra, thank you for making room in your heart. I am off to cry (happy tears) now...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story to come home to after work today!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kendra. I told myself if Clovis has not been spoken for by Friday, I would email Laurie. I am SO glad Clovis and Rupert are staying together, but it kinda brings a tear to my eye that I never got to say hi to Clovis or the other Ashby's in person. Sigh. Laurie, if you get an Ashby postcard set together, I will love you forever.
ReplyDeleteA happy ending! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Clovis has been my favorite of this litter, though they don't make it easy to choose.
ReplyDeleteWill you let us know if something works out for Black Cat?
Congratulations! Maybe we'll see a new blog...
ReplyDeleteSo that just leaves poor little fuzzy Norman needing a home??
ReplyDeleteThis is such GREAT news!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kendra is AWESOME!
I am so glad those two wonderful boys are being adopted forever!
That's incredibly cool! :) Yay Kendra...proud mama to two new fur babies.

I'm with Webbthistle, this makes me happy weepy.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news!
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for Rupert!
Just seems like these IBK just got here. But I'm glad they found homes so quickly.
Hooray for Kendra! Thank you for giving these boys a great forever home together!
ReplyDeleteWhat great news! Kendra has just won the Kitty Lotto! Those boys are so sweet...what a lovely life they have before them.
ReplyDeleteI like it... "Kitty Lotto"
ReplyDeleteHooray for Rupert!
I can't believe how quickly these kits have breezed on through already.
HOORAY!! Together forever! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! What a happy family this will be!
ReplyDeleteYay! Darling boys get to stay together. Please keep us posted, Kendra.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet way for me to start my day -- oh, Kendra, how does it feel to be the object of envy from hundreds, all over the country? WE know, she'll forever be so glad Clovis ran his little number on her. Can we talk her into the occasional blog? It's free, and if *I* can learn to post pictures (hint hint) ANYone can!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly why my fiance won't let me even LOOK at the foster care pages of our local Humane Society. Kittens are like Lay's Potato Chips to us - it's impossible to have just one! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously...who can resist those lil faces, so eager and earnest? Two is always better than one!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats! :)

ReplyDeletelooks like they're still finding their way to kendra. she chose rupert, but then clovis chose her.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so happy for Rupert and Clovis...brothers forever! Kendra, congrats on your beautiful new kitties...two cats are just so much better than one! I also echo Dale Harriet's request/hint/idea...a new blog so we can follow their new lives would be marvelous :)
ReplyDeletewhat a lucky lady to be able to take home two beatiful black boy kitties!! I hope there's a blog too!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww! What a wonderful story. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a rainy Friday here in GA, but it must be a sunny day in IBKC land. I'm so glad these little guys found a home together. You are lucky girl Miss Kendra, keep us posted on how Clovis and Rupert are doing on their new home.
ReplyDeleteoh no ... does that mean norman is the only one left?? he's def my favorite.. =/
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your cheerful posts of "congrats" and well wishes for Clovis and Rupert. They're two fuzzy, furry, handsome peas in a pod. Angie's comment really nailed it on the head...I chose Rupert, and Clovis chose me. It couldn't be more true!!! I'm absolutely smitten. ***insert big cheezy, starry-eyed grin***
ReplyDeleteThe thanks really need to go to Laurie for all of her hard work and GIGANTIC heart.
Now hmmmm...let me see if I can sort out this whole "blog" thing...
Another GA girl here. So glad that you're taking BOTH Kendra. Rupert was totally suckerpunching my heart so I'm glad that my boy's going to a good forever home.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! And the best decision she could have made! Concats to Kendra and the boys.
ReplyDeleteSmart boy, Clovis!!!!!
ReplyDeleteawwww!!! so sweet that the boys can be together.
