Meeting the Candy Kittens...

The Candy Kittens we recused from the cold this winter by some good samaritans. They reached out to LDCRF and we were happy to help them find their way to loving homes. Before that could happen, some of the kittens had some medical concerns so they went to see the fabulous Blue Ridge Vets. 

Their mother Kit Kat is a beautiful polydactyl  available at the Reston Petsmart. She is a total love!

Skittles is the biggest kitten in the litter.  He is a polydactal like his momma and a complete sweetheart. He LOVES dinner time, which explains why he is such a big guy! He's going to be a large cat and his heart is proportional to his stature. He has no health issues and is quite a handsome boy.

M&M is a dashing beauty. She has bright eyes and striking markings that simply melt your heart. She has your standard number of toes and no health concerns. Just a pretty lady who loves affection and will gently pat your leg for lovings.

Two of the kittens, Twizzler and Snickers, were born with deformed feet due to radial hypoplasia. They are often referred to as twisty cats. They walk a little differently than your standard kitten, kind of like they are army crawling in the front, which is appropriate since they are troopers. Their handicap does't slow them down one bit though! They are very mobile, use the litter box just like other kitties, and require no special care due to their handicap. They cannot climb, but can jump very high and will box the heck out of a kitty scratching post. They are the epitome of handicapable! These two are the most outgoing of the four kittens and absolutely love to play. They are even better snugglers! Snickers is the tiniest kitten. She is super fluffy and soft.

Sadly, little Twizzler has a heart condition as well. His life will be short, but the folks at LDCRF are doing our best to guarantee that he is a happy fellow for the remaining time he gives us. Twizzler would also love a forever home where he can know true love and compassion. He is hopeful that there might be a guardian angel out there for him. His adoption fee will be waived and we will be eternally grateful to the beautiful person who understands that some of the sweetest moments are short, but life changing.
