Kitty Haven Refuge AKA Harrington House

While I was at home enjoying the perks of a long summer vacation, I heard a tiny meow coming from outside. That's strange, because our cat is much larger and has a different meow. My househelper, who is amazingly wonderful, told me there were two kittens outside. Where did they come from? Where's their mom? When Josh came home from lunch, they were gone- or were they?? (Cue dramatic, mysterious music here)
They weren't gone! They had crawled underneath our car between the frame and the spare tire. That space was now their's. We refuse to allow our house to be a place where kittens or other animals are dropped off... that sounds bad, right? After trying hard for a full day NOT to get attached, we decided we (really this means Josh) needed to move them. This became a neighborhood mission.

Here's the "adventure" in pictures:

Day 1: Their territory- under the car

Day 1 1/2: Their territory had advanced to the front yard
Boo Radley checking things out. Right after this he found where the kittens were hiding.
He hissed all the way to "safety".
We called in "back-up".

Teamwork.

They kept asking where will we take them, so I said," We are taking them to your house." Then they would giggle. :)

A cat lover- he asked his mom if he could keep them.

Love the story...Maddie is dying to have a kitten right now. I'm sure she would have taken them off your hands without even asking.
