Everything changed when these two lonely kittens met each other... and now they need our help!

This teeny little kitten was heartbroken when he lost his two brothers. Then another lonely kitten came along and changed everything.

Meet Spunkee!

“Spunkee and his two brothers Sparkee and Spankee were rescued from a high kill shelter when they were just five weeks old. The tiny kittens were afraid of humans and their foster mom worked with them every day to get them more comfortable with people.  Even though they were shy with humans, they took comfort from each other. Spunkee in particular was very bonded to his two brothers. He loved romping around with them and snuggling with them,” Cat Adoption & Rescue Efforts (CARE) shared with iizcat.

“Sadly, things soon took a turn for the worse. Spankee started showing signs of a fatal disease called FIP and passed away when he was just eleven weeks old. Three months later, Sparkee succumbed to the same illness. Lonely and heartbroken, Spunkee wandered around crying and searching for his lost littermates.”

“Around the same time, a group of nine beautiful gray and silver kittens were rescued from a feral colony and brought into foster care. Eight of the nine kittens were adopted, but one silver tabby, Hushpuppy, was passed over and became lonely and withdrawn without his siblings to play with.”

“All this changed when Spunkee and Hushpuppy met each other. The two kittens were instant buddies and loved playing with each other,” CARE shared with iizcat.

“Sadly, Spunkee and Hushpuppy have been overlooked because they are very shy and tend to shut down at adoption events (as you can see in the pictures). Over a year after coming into foster care, they are still awaiting their forever family.”

“Although it may take some time to gain their trust, these two are SO worth it. Hushpuppy is an extremely lively boy while Spunkee is described as having a dog-like personality - he follows you around, snuggles with his foster mom, and has a deep rumbling purr.”

They are being fostered in Richmond, Virginia, but CARE will consider out-of-state adoptions if the adopter can travel there to pick them up.

Please share and help us keep these adorable "brothers" together!

They take so much comfort from each other, especially at the adoption events when they are so nervous, and they deserve to live out their lives together. <3
