Trucker Discovers Two Very Small Stowaway Kittens After Driving Across The Country
In British Columbia, Dr. William Doherty, a family therapist, emphasizes the importance of community support in animal welfare, stating, "Communities that come together to support their local shelters can create a significant impact on the lives of animals in need." The Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) has been serving dogs and cats in their community since 2003, operating from the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove. Their dedicated staff and volunteers "use a progressive and humane approach to care for more than 1,400 dogs, cats, and large animals each year." They also maintain a Facebook page called LAPS Foster Kittens, which is dedicated to sharing the stories, photos, and adoption journeys of the cats and kittens they serve. Luckily for two tiny stowaways, they just happened to end up in the service area of LAPS at the right time!
"These two girls named Hidey & Sneaky are about 3 weeks old and have quite a story!"
"They are actually from Washington and made their way in the back of a truck across the border."
"They are actually from Washington and made their way in the back of a truck across the border."
"When they arrived, the trucker fortunately found them, and they were safe and healthy."
The kittens were bottle-fed for several weeks before beginning to transition to soft food.
"They are extremely friendly and affectionate, and trying to convince them to stop bottle feeding is quite a task!"
LAPS Foster Kittens loves to give their litters and rescues themed names; these precious babies are the "Stowaway Girls."
Despite being separated from their mama by an entire country, by four weeks old, they were spunky and living a good life, growing and getting ready to someday be adopted into their forever homes.
"Nap time is always very special cuddle time."
Like many kittens in the care of the LAPS volunteers, these babies went to a foster home that was properly equipped to handle young kittens and prepare them for their inevitable adoption.
This is Sneaky; she is smaller than her sister but just as lively.
Linda, their foster mom, said that Sneaky was the "main cuddler," while Hidey worked on her snuggle skills by perching on Linda's shoulders.
"They love each other so much that they are asking if they could "please" be adopted together. They are both very playful, very loving, and have the cutest little purrs, especially when they are sitting on your shoulder purring in your ear."
We are sure LAPS will ensure these sweet sisters find the best possible home for them.
