Our New Kitten

My eldest rescued a kitten from school (had gotten into someone's spare tire) and we decided to adopt.

It's my 3 year old son's first pet. I don't yet know what's funnier... the kitten antics, or my son 'literally' rolling on the floor laughing at her.

Anyway, here's the first pic of Kenya.

She is adorable. We have one like that, abandoned at a school and rescued by a friends daughter, coloring very much like yours too. We took him in, he was not even weaned and he was sickly, and he is now 7 years old and a big, lovey brute

Have fun. These will be some of your most precious memories I bet. A 3 year old and a kitten, what could be better than that?

I'm so happy that she's found a wonderful home. Thank you for that! So many people would have simply looked the other way.

You've got a great opportunity here to teach your three year old so much! He can have fun, he can learn responsibility, he can learn compassion - endless possibilities!

Kudos to you!

you would say that. I was going to suggest it but sometimes it feel creepy suggesting that someone show videos of their family.

YAY!
