An unexpected Night
Click to enlarge
There, under Jason's car, we spotted her - a tiny siamese cat, no more than a year old, crouched and quiet, observing us. We just left the dance theater, and had moved outside to discuss, joke around, and plan our next move for the night.
Amber and I gently walked over to her, squatted down, and each offered a hand to see if she'd come out. I was quite confident in my cat-charming abilities, but apparently Amber is a cat-whisperer herself, and the little girl cautiously walked over to her hand. We talked to her for a minute, then decided we should grab her and put her in the car while we decided what to do.
At worst, she was a stray. At best, she belonged to someone in the crappy apartments about a half mile away. Even if she returned home, she would be sure to get hit by a car sometime soon. The vast parking lots near Highland Mall are no place for a kitty. And this one seemed to be very pregnant.

We took her to the 24 hour vet clinic for a quick "hey is this cat pregnant" checkup (yup, definitely). I decided to call her Mia. Amber and Christy were kind enough to put her up in their home office while we figured out what to do. I convinced my parents to take her, since our beloved Gato had recently departed this world. Amber would take care of everyone until all the kittens were born and old enough to adopt.
Which brings us to now... We've got 4 adorable, all black kittens that need homes. They'll be neutered/spayed and have an initial checkup by the time they go. If you've been considering a cat, please take a hard look at these guys.

SAVE THESE 4 Kittens!
We've had them for 10 weeks, and we've spent plenty of time playing and acclimating them to humans, toys, litterboxes, and wet & dry food. They're all adorable, and their unique personalities are starting to come out. We've got 3 boys - Terrance, Tippy, and Clint Eastwood - and 1 girl - Lola.
They're ready to go to new, caring homes. Don't let them go to the animal shelter!

Terrance
The biggest boy of the bunch. He came out first, and from there on out he was always the biggest. He's a gentle one, happy to be held and get comfy in your arms. He's a purrer!
Terrance is spoken for! Please have a look at the other guys below. They want your love too!

Tippy
Tippy got his name from the few white hairs on his left ear (with 4 black cats you look for anything to differentiate them). He's also got a cute white patch on his belly. He's a medium size out of the 4.
clint eastwood
He's the 2nd biggest, and he's got big black eyes and shadow stripes, and looks kind of like a puma. Clint Eastwood is pretty quiet and is happy to hang out and observe. He's probably the chillest of the group (and IMO, the most photogenic).
Lola
Lola is the lone female of the bunch, and also the smallest. She is both a sweetie and the most adventurous. She's quite comfortable being held, and she'll easily fall asleep in your arms. Keep an eye on her, as she'll explore her entire environment.
