Almost two weeks after our story about the five foster kittens that High Point’s Wendy and Stephen Hughes-Jelen have raised since they were a day old, the kittens are almost ready for their permanent homes. They were born in early August, and eight weeks/two months is considered “ready for adoption.” The Hughes-Jelens are hoping not to have to take them to the Kitty Harbor shelter for whom they volunteered to take on the then-newborns:

We would like to have them all spoken for and adopted without having to spend time in the shelter at Kitty Harbor. It is a great facility here in West Seattle but there are about 80-90 cats/kittens down there and new kittens can get sick easily. It’s just safer if they go from here to another home.

We’ve chronicled their entire life online at http://www.facebook.com/KittyCornered We will be posting video profiles of each individual kitten in the next few days.

If any of our neighbors would like to meet these kittens now, please let us know. They should read the adoption information at http://www.kittyharborseattle.org/adoption-info/ and have completed and submitted an adoption application to the shelter before coming into our home. The kittens have to be adopted in pairs or the adopter has to already have a cat in their home as a companion to the new kitten.

As noted on the Kitty Cornered page, once you’ve applied – which you can also do tomorrow in person at Kitty Harbor (or next weekend if they’re not spoken for yet) – you can go meet The Kittens.
