I swear, I thought I had mentioned it in a post, but apparently it slipped my mind – Polo went back to his foster mom last week. I took a couple of days to really scrub down the foster room, and then we got the new guys on Friday.
Meet the new kittens!
PW (so named because he was found at a Piggly Wiggly). He’s a boy.
Ralph. He’s a boy, too.
Von is a girl.
Winn Dixie is also a girl.
Trader Joe is a boy.
I love the look Trader Joe is giving Fred here.
PW is a singleton – he’s been at the shelter for a little while, and needed to be around other kittens his own age. He’s about 8 weeks old. The other four – Von, Winn Dixie, Trader Joe and Ralph – are 6 1/2 weeks old. PW came pre-named, and since he was named after a grocery store, Fred suggested we go with that naming theme.
I’m going to call them “The Grocers” unless someone out there has a catchier name suggestion.
They’re a super sweet, super friendly bunch. They come running whenever I walk into the room, and they love to be held and petted and snuggled and kissed. They’ve only been here since Friday, and I’m already in love with all of them!
You can’t tell from this picture, but Trader Joe is a little bit of a nut. (That SmartCat Toy Box has been a HUGE hit with these kittens.)
They’re a very playful bunch, too – if I could just bottle the energy of two of these kittens, my house would be SPOTLESS.
They’re a floofy bunch, too. This is Winn Dixie.
Don’t you hate it when you’re minding your own business and all of a sudden someone’s biting your butt?
“EXCUSE me, PW, that is MY bottom, and I do NOT think you need to be biting it!”
PW is pretty sure he’ll bite any kitten butt that comes around, and NO ONE is gonna stop him.
Floofilicious.
Ralph loves a good belly rub!
All three of the boys in this litter (and now that I think about it, one of the girls) reminds me of former fosters! I’ll have to dig up comparison pictures for y’all.

Uncle Jake can’t wait to get hold of those kittens, and can’t believe I’m going to make him wait a few weeks.
