And in case you've forgotten how adorable he was as a tiny tot... here he is, when he was ours...
And here we have a few stars from last year's fundraiser... Pip, Gaetano and Warren Fortunato.
and here they are working the phone banks last year...
Thanks to Kendra (Orson's mom) and Mindy (Pip, Gaetano, and Warren's mom) for the fabulous photos. They all look so happy and heathy, and it's so good to see them again! Thank you for sharing!!
AH! I knew it! Orson is the most beautiful grown up cat! I love him. :)
ReplyDeletepip and gaetano are totally handsome and beautiful.
and i think that Warren still has the exact same look on his face as he did when he was on the phone banks. Those are great photos. Thank all the mom's for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThat baby picture of Orson still kills. He was such a little huskaroo.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Fortunatos turned out to be such gorgeous cats! So very sleek and handsome, all of them.
ReplyDeleteIf that's not testament to how essential foster care and humane societies are, and what great work the Tacoma/Pierce County Humane Society and foster moms like Laurie do, I don't know what the heck is.
ReplyDeleteKitties look wonderful!!!
Oh wow! Orson was one of my favorites!!! So happy to see him again as well as the Little Fortunatos who are not so little anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you to their furever parents for sharing those photos with us!
Gaetano was one of my faves - he has fulfilled my hopes for his handsomeness.
ReplyDeleteand ORSON! What a great looking young man he is!
This is indeed proof that the foster network is an essential part of healthy, confident kitties.
Pippy clearly knows how lovely she is... a perfect pose for the camera, showing her best side. Such a beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly stop smiling to see some of my favourite alumni. Especially Warren Fortunato, who stole my heart.
ReplyDeleteGaetano is so gorgeous these days! All of the other former-itties look amazing to but that little guy got to me last year. <3 Orson was quite the adorable little fur ball back in the day, and he's grown to be quite handsome as well.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see all of them grown up, thanks for sharing!
Gasp!
ReplyDeleteFirst, aren't they all so beautiful? There is nothing more wonderful than to see our babies - yes "ours" because they have won our hearts, all grown up?
The fabulous Fortunatos are exactly that, and Orson. Orson! Isn't he a big boy ball of goodness?

ReplyDeleteOrson is MAGNIFICENT! He looks like a stripely version of my Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving us Orson's Adult face to see. He was my favorite boy kitten (so far). Any word on what Francine looks like now??? I am a sucker for large, floofy cats. Like Miss Butterbean!
