berry kittens

Since everyone is back at the adoption center or at a partner store with the exception of Panache (who needs a dental but is available for adoption), mom told the rescue that the foster room is clean and ready to go.

Everyone was kind of in a hurry on Saturday when mom picked up this pair, so she doesn't have a lot of background. They are a little shy but already coming around.

Mom is also still working on Panache's people skills, so rather than have to chase Panache around the house, she left her in the foster room and introduced the kittens. Considering how well Panache did when Bacall was playing space invader, mom figured it wouldn't be an issue.

Panache checked them both out and did give them a couple of licks. Then she decided that kittens are overrated and hisses at them. Not in an aggressive manner (and mom honestly thinks hissing is just Panache's way of communicating), but just enough to let the kittens know that she is NOT their momma.

Anyhow, meet Cranberry and Blueberry. Cranberry (above) is a gray and white female. She actually does have faint stripes on her sides. She is definitely the shyer of the pair but on Sunday was sniffing and licking mom's toes (and of course mom had to try desperately not to laugh and scare off the kitten). Blueberry (below) is a gray and white tabby male. He is more outgoing than his sister though still a little bit shy. They are probably 6-7 weeks old based on eye color, but they are pretty little.

Welcome kids!!
