Today, my partner and I were at the river with our dog. On our way out on the trail, we saw these

two kittens. My partner approached them with spspspspsps and they both came

right up to him. He pet them and they clearly wanted to be loved. up on. He tested to see if they

would let him pick them up and they both did, but they got spooked by a branch we stepped on or something and bolted behind a fence.

It was so so clear that these little babies, maybe 6-9 months old, were dumped and someone's pets and I couldn't leave them.

We live nearby so we brought our dog home and grabbed our cats crate and returned to the fence

spot up the trail with some high value food. The second we approached the fence and waved the food they came running.

We were able to easily catch the boy first (brown). He is social and very playful and friendly. The girl

(white and grey) is very sweet but more timid. She took a lot more coaxing but it was clear they were bonded when separated because
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
the boy was fr king out in the crate when he could see his sister. They immediately calmed down

once the sister was put in the crate (capture photo attached lol).

Our primary bathroom is off the main room and we brought them straight there. We let them
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
unwind with some food and water and they came out of the crate curious right away. I went to
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
Walmart and got a litter box, kitten food and some toys. We kept our dog and cat out of the bedroom area though they're so curious lol.
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
We sat with them for a while and played. It took the girl a while to come out and be comfortable but
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
she did. After a bit of eating and play time they both purred them selves to sleep after cuddles and skritches. It's evident they haven't
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
been able to rest like this in for some time without fear. They're so chill and well behaved. The
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
plan was just catch them and go from there and bring them to a shelter tomorrow, but after seeing their personalities and how
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
cuddly and sweet they we honestly are considering keeping them, but I'm not sure how my
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
other cat will do. We also move a lot so I'm not sure how that will work with 3 cats and a dog.
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
They need to be spayed and neutered and likely all other shots required too. They're such sweeties though and deserve the
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
best and to stay together as a bonded pair no matter what. They seem healthy and not even that dirty. I just can't believe someone would just dump them there.
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
TLDR: these two siblings/bonded pair are so sweet and cuddly and playful snd I can't believe
via u/Ok_Pea_9907
someone dumped them. We might keep them or bring to safe shelter or a cat sanctuary
