My friend fosters kittens rescued off the street. He's working with a reputable humane society in the LA area to prepare these babies for adoption into a loving forever home.

They were left in a cardboard box with their two siblings out in the middle of nowhere, when it was cold. Luckily, someone found them and brought them to the shelter. We’re very blessed to have been able to adopt them. We have another sibling pair from the same shelter that are close to 6 months older than they are. It’s a circus! 😅

Louie is there too he plays with and sometimes they groom each other but he isn’t a cuddly type with other cats ❤️

They are about 8 weeks old. They do everything together!

These two are just so sweet with each other 💕

I thought Bambi looked like such a diva until I realized she was sitting on her sister😭

Meet Olla (tuxedo) and Charlotte (tabby), two of my foster kittens who became the bestest of friends even though they're a month apart in age and have only known each other for ten days. ❤️

Charlotte came to us as a singleton and was very lonely during her quarantine, so when she was introduced to my resident adult cats, she was glad to have company, and quickly became the tiny boss of the household, lording over the big guys.

Then we got a call from the shelter about three bottle babies (Olla and her siblings). They're roughly a month younger and during their quarantine I was worried they'd be too young to get along with her.

The first couple days after they were introduced were... Harsh. Charlotte was veeerrry confused about the small furry goblins and she kept hissing, growling and swatting at them, but also seeking them out when we separated her and following them around the room.

The babies were mostly afraid of her, except for Olla, who immediately decided they would be best friends, whether Charlotte liked it or not. After a few scuffles where we were really worried she would hurt them because she played so rough, she started to learn to control her strength. Olla especially never backed down, but she also never hissed or growled back, she purred and showed her belly and gently invited her to play. Fast forward about ten days and now, they're practically joined at the hip. Charlotte gets along with the other two just fine and cuddles and plays with them too, but nine times out of ten it's with Olla. They crawl to each other in their sleep and always seek each other out at play time.

Seeing their friendship blossom so fast has astonished me. I knew kittens could form friendships but I never imagined it could be this obviously strong of an attachment.

The problem is : Charlotte is due back at the shelter for adoption at the end of the month, and Olla still has a month left after that before she graduates from foster school. The shelter won't hold Charlotte or rush Olla for a dual adoption. So there's a fair chance they'll have to go their separate ways. But! There's hope! A friend of a friend is interested in adopting them both, in which case the shelter would make an exception and facilitate the dual adoption. She's supposed to come visit them next week to make up her mind.

Please cross all your fingers and toes for these two besties to stay together! And if not, celebrate the tiniest of friendships with me, even if it's not meant to last, it still made their time here - and mine - so much sweeter. 🫶
