An office full of coworkers fell for three friendly void kittens, but one family made sure two siblings stayed together

Some people bring home office supplies from work. This family somehow came home with two kittens instead.

The workday started with an unexpected surprise when three friendly little void kittens were found hanging around the office courtyard. They were comfortable around people from the start, making everyone suspect they hadn't been born outside. Before long, the entire office was stopping by to say hello, including one very excited 9-year-old who had already started campaigning to take them home.

The original plan had been to wait another year before adding kittens to the family. They already had two young cats at home and were still missing the senior cat they had lost last October. Then the Cat Distribution System stepped in and moved the timeline up a little.

As coworkers started falling in love with the kittens, one was adopted almost immediately. Another coworker considered taking a second, but that raised a bigger question. Nobody wanted to separate a bonded pair. Instead of watching the siblings go their separate ways, the family decided to bring both remaining kittens home together.

Finding homes for stray kittens is already a happy ending, but knowing two siblings get to grow up side by side makes it even better. They'll have a familiar face while they settle into a new house, explore every corner together, and probably team up for plenty of kitten-sized trouble.

For now, the pair is settling into a quarantine room while they adjust to indoor life, and the naming process is still underway. Temporary names like Midnight and Star Destroyer are already setting a pretty high bar.

Some deliveries show up in cardboard boxes. Others arrive in an office courtyard and completely change the rest of the workday.

    ylimenut Cinder seems happy! Also pls keep the names. Star Destroyer in 15 years will be the funniest to your adult kids

  • Funny cat names never get old, especially when they're completely over the top. A tiny kitten named Star Destroyer has no business sounding that powerful, which somehow makes it even better. Cats have a way of growing into the most ridiculous names, too. Give them a few months, and everyone will be saying it with a straight face like it's perfectly normal. The more dramatic the name, the better the story every time someone asks how they got it.

  • Working cats deserve forever homes too. These little voids were already showing up for their shifts at the office, greeting employees and winning over everyone who walked through the courtyard. After putting in a full day of making people smile, it's only fitting that they clocked out with families of their own. We'd say that's a well-earned promotion from office kittens to full-time house cats.

  • Looks like the Cat Distribution System heard the plan and decided next year was a little too far away. The family already knew they wanted a pair of kittens someday. The CDS just skipped ahead a few chapters. Instead of spending months looking for the right cats, the right cats showed up at work and made the decision for them. Sometimes the timing has a funny way of working out, even if it arrives a little earlier than expected.
