I've been waiting for 5 MONTHS for this day.... Ever since Itsie Bitsie Rescue (IBR) created an alumni facebook page... I've stalked the page for updates from the babies who have disappeared from my life. I leave my contact information and shamelessly beg every family that adopts a kitten from me to keep in touch and send pictures... but when you have a warm fuzzball to love, who has time to read the desperate words of a clingy foster mom?
But today Fuji and Honeycrisp, now Shadow and Luna, popped back into my life in a facebook notification. I can't eat a lychee jelly without thinking of "Fuji-fuj" and miss Honeycrisp burrowing under the covers for a snuggle.
Shadow & Luna's mom posted this:
I fell in love with Shadow (Fuji) and Luna (Honeycrisp) before adopting them because of how much they cuddled with each other. We brought them home about a month ago and it’s so cute the way they look out for each other. Here they are now. Growing and still by each other’s sides. My family and I love how much they snuggle with us too.
The orchard will always hold a very special place in my heart as they were with me in a rough time of life. I had a bad reaction to my second covid vaccination in September and was completely wiped out for 3 days and slightly weak/dizzy for over a month. In fact, 2 months later I still sometimes feel off. When I got stuck on the floor, unable to move... the orchard was there, laying on me and offering me their purrs and warmth. I'm overjoyed to see they're still the same happy snugglebugs I raised!
