Trucker Discovers Two Very Small Stowaway Kittens After Driving Across The Country
Two tiny kittens ended up on an unexpected cross-country ride, and their rescue story is as sweet as it is surprising. After a trucker finished driving across the border from Washington, he discovered the stowaways in the back of his truck and got them to safety just in time.
That lucky stop brought the kittens to the Langley Animal Protection Society, where staff and foster volunteers stepped in to care for them. Soon, the pair had names, bottle feedings, and a whole new routine built around keeping them healthy and comfortable.
Now the little sisters are growing fast, and their next big milestone is finding a forever home together.
"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."

"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!"
Their foster routine quickly turned into a full-time kitten cuddle operation.
This is similar to the man who found 20 abandoned puppies crammed in a roadside cage during his walk.
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.
For now, the Stowaway Girls are settling into the easy life.
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.
These two are clearly hoping their next trip is straight to a forever home.
