Free to good homes!

Our fertile alley has produced yet another litter of adorableness. Back on July 22, the feral but caring "Mama Cat" (pictured above, center) brought forth these three kitten-calendar models (and a fourth one that apparently had a ball of yarn in Heaven to chase after a few days in our back yard). Anyway, if you've always wanted an eight-and-a-half-week-old kitten (or three), but just haven't found one that completely melted your heart, this is your moment.

My wife and I have spent the last few weeks getting the kittens used to, even fond of, people (or at least fond of the food we provide). They remain on our back porch at the moment, but as they get older, and as the nights get chillier, we think they're ready to be adopted by someone ready to give them lots of love. Of course, if the kittens go unspoken for, we will take them to the Maryland SPCA -- they are good people -- but we'd be happier seeing the cats find homes with people we know. Besides, that way we can hope for updates on the kitties' progress toward adult cathood.

Meet the kittens:

"Trubz"
"Trubs" gets his name -- (we think it's a he, but the kittens are very furry, and very kinetic, and we haven't been able to certify their genders beyond a reasonable doubt yet) -- from some "troubles" he got into early in his life. He was rescued once from being stuck between our neighbor's fence and their cellar door. Rescued at least twice from standing in yet another adjacent yard and unable to find his way back to mama. He has become more careful since, and has actually become the cuddliest of the whole bunch. He regularly tries to run into our house -- his way of saying "I'm ready!"

"Chubz"
Maybe she (again, we're guessing as to the gender here) isn't as Chubby as she is Fluffy, but the name stuck. A very similar design to the "Trubz" model, though a bit oranger. Chubz has warmed up to us considerably and seems to enjoy a good petting. If soft, fluffy, orange fur -- and lots of it -- are your thing, then Chubz wants to be your kitty (she does insist on a new, less derogatory name, though).

"Spotz" Update: "Spotz" has found a new loving human family. Hooray!
Always on the go, "Spotz" is a ball of energy. She's a sweetheart, and she absolutely loves to play -- with her siblings, with her mother, with us, with a crumpled pepsi box on our porch, etc.... Never late for dinner, Spotz would love to blanket your home with her enchanting white, gray and orange hued fur.

While these kittens have not yet had any veterinary care or shots, we can offer, as a bonus for adopting now, additional photos and videos documenting the kittens first couple of months in the world. This offer is limited, as we are going to try to get "Mama Cat" fixed. These may be your last chance for kittens that are this adorable! Please let me know with an email or tweet (if you know me) or comment to this post (if you don't so much know me) if you are interested and would like to arrange a meet-and-greet with your future cat.
