    and all the animals were fostered, adopted, or moved to other shelters. They had to rehome 103 cats and 29 dogs. It takes a village.

    Inner_Swordfish7475 Aww, this is wonderful. I love that your child wanted to move her bed in their room to sleep with them. She will have wonderful companions for many years.

    Turnover_Realistic You are so right about it takes a village! Thank you for welcoming the two new roommates to your kiddo!

  • The kittens are adorable, but it's hard not to be impressed by the people in this story too. Finding homes for 103 cats and 29 dogs after a tornado is no small task, yet the community came together and got it done. Foster families opened their doors, adopters stepped up, rescue groups pitched in, and neighbors helped wherever they could. It really does take a village, and these animals were lucky to have one ready to help when they needed it most.

    Impossible Door3564 That is the best story! I love that kiddo moved her bed into their room!

    Nicemac Like owner, like kitty! Spaghetti grew matching 'glasses' to look just like the kiddo.

  • Clearly this was meant to be. Out of all the families looking to adopt, these kittens somehow ended up with a kiddo who looks like their long-lost twin. Between the matching glasses and the instant bond, it almost feels like they were destined to find each other. Some adoptions take time, but these three seem to have skipped straight to best-friend status. The resemblance alone would be enough to convince us they belong together.

    Nicemac I was so focused on Spaghetti's natural 'glasses' matching the kiddo that I didn't even notice Meatball at first! Talk about a master of disguise.

    jamiemars168 What a beautiful and touching story!! And how wonderful of your family to take them in!! Congratulations on your new fur babies/family members!!!

  • Keeping litter mates together always feels like the right call. Spaghetti and Meatball have already spent their entire lives side by side, so getting to start this new chapter together is pretty sweet. They get to explore a new home, cause mischief, and settle in with a familiar face nearby. Plus, every kitten deserves a partner in crime. These two already look like they're planning their next adventure together.
