The first photo was the first time the adopter brought the kitty to him. The kitty was so small and weak and probably could not survive if left on the street.

13. Same positions a few months later

This is Wickett, a rescue kitten with a total of 22 toes. He has five toes (with no thumbs) in his front paws, while each of his hind paws has six toes. This irregularity makes him so unique yet so precious.
These guys complete each other. These rescued kittens only have one working eye each so they had to stick together wherever they go. Their rescuer took them both home and they are both living a life of comfort.
If they are not the feline version of Yin and Yang, then I don’t know what to say. They are both dumpster kitties in need of a home and they both were lucky to go into the same loving residence. They are both inseparable, and you would find them cuddling at home

This is little Tiara, a stray kitten that someone adopted. Since the person thought that it would be best to let someone foster her, the kitten went through over three foster homes until he found a permanent home for himself – back to her rescuer’s home. Since then, they could not give her away.
