Every now and then, a kitty lucks out. Sometimes, it happens to be siblings that luck out! In this case, it happened to be TWO sets of siblings who lucked out!
One of our volunteers happened upon two dumped kittens at a colony. Lucky for those kittens that she happened to be feeding that day, as she was doing a favor for a local feeder who was out of town. Also lucky for those sad kittens, our volunteer happened to pull up and see/hear the little tabby male, and knew that there were no kittens or unfixed cats in this colony. She went back home to get a trap, but when she came back, the kitten had moved through the woods to the hotel area next door. She went to the hotel and set the trap. After sitting there all day long, she finally caught him! Imagine her surprise when she saw a tiny black kitten dart back under the shed beside the trap! She took the tabby home and transferred him into a larger trap, and then went back for the black one. Took her three days to catch the black girl, but she was successful. She didn't want to take the kittens back to where they came from, as it was a known traveling route for coyotes, so she contacted her sister- her sister would take the two kittens! They were fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and then went to their new home. Everybody, meet Morticia and Gomez (pictured here in route to the sister's house):

Fast forward to summertime. This same volunteer was contacted by the Master Trapper (Mary) about four kittens who had been dumped off in a trailer park. Mary had already TNR'd them, and there was a nice lady feeding them. She had found homes for 3 of the kittens, but the last one was all by herself. The volunteer contacted her sister again, and the sister said she'd take the last remaining kitten. Then the home for one of the other kittens fell through, so the sister said she would take that one, also. Everyone, meet Selene (grey) and Solana:
All four babies are doing well in their new home. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, including our donors! It's all about people who care, working together ♥
