Sad, But True

Well, it's just about that time.   The Smalls had surgery yesterday, everything went fine, which means they'll be leaving very, very soon.

Are you ready?

I'm not sure I am.

  4. Oh. My. Goodness. Cutest group pic ever! How I will miss the Smalls...but I am excited to hear all about their new parents and homes-They do look ready for their gold medals, don't they?

  5. I just know that someone has secretly arranged for them to come live with me.
    Of course I also know that I have won the lottery even though I rarely buy tickets.

  6. noooooo

    Well, at least whomever adopts the Smalls will be the luckiest person(s) in the world. I'm sort of excited to see if all four go to one home. I know that's kinda crazy (in a kitten-overload sense), but this bunch have convinced me that the next time I am ready to adopt, I'm just gonna go all-in and bring home an entire family. That's how much the loveable Smalls have influenced me.

    also, could they be making any cuter sad-faces in that pic??

    1. I have a whole family...4 girls that are now 3. I couldn't split them up :) and they are all very different..

    2. I decided that a long time ago after reading this blog for a while. I admire Laurie for her being able to let them go when it is time. I will stick with being the recipient of rescues... Homes are needed too!!

    3. Deanne G -- oh, that sounds wonderful! 4 baby girl kitties! I have one little girl myself, but she is 17 and likes being the one and only. :)

  7. After seeing this picture, I have concluded you have a secret formulation of kitten glue, to get them to pose like this all at once. :)

  13. Do they have homes chosen for them yet?

  14. These little cats sure enjoy posing for the camera. Such happy healthy adorableness. Each one so unique! Really loved following their progress. Envy the forever families that get to cuddle these sweeties.

  15. I'm also one of those wishful thinkers hoping the whole family goes to the same forever home. (and I wish it was MINE!)

  16. Goodness gracious...the Smalls are itty bitty bit-less now.

    So bummed they will be moving on, but someones lives will be changed for the better. And we will be meeting the newest members of the IBKC

  17. Oh my... so cute little faces!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Aren't they just the cutest??? The only thing that would make the photo even cuter would be Miss Charlene laying across the back of the sofa. I know she's not a siamese, but her coloring would just fit perfectly! Have fun with your new adventures little Smalls!

    1. I think Charlene IS a Siamese mix, although only Laurie could say for sure.

    2. Check out some of the babies here . . . they come in all shapes and colors! This is where I got my long-haired Liam lookalikes. :)

  19. Will their eyes stay blue, do you suppose?

    1. I think they will at this stage. Normally they change from blue to whatever by 6 weeks. They definitely have siamese in them making it all the more likely.

  20. Oh those dearest little sweet babies. SIGH!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Aww, we're not ready! But it's always wonderful when a kitty gets a forever home, so... ok, we'll allow it..
    Is it possible, before they go, to get a close up of those adorable white toes on the first kitten in line's foot? I'm sorry I don't know which one that is... But those toes kill me!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Those eyes! And seriously, Liam, stop being such a cutie pants--you've almost got me thinking you might be cuter than my Oskar...and that just can't be true!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh those blessed blue eyes and sweet faces. . . Their newfound peoples better sign a committment to give us LOTS of updates!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Bye, Louie! I'll miss you, shrimp!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh those blue eyes. Darling Liam looks as soulful as my boy and could almost be my boy's twin!

    ReplyDelete
  26. these babies have blossomed under your care as all their predecessors have. thank you for pouring love and time into these little sweethearts!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Are there any shots of Charlene with the Smalls, either individually or as a group?

    ReplyDelete
  28. I posted a couple when they first were released from quarantine, but haven't posted others since.
