Little Ziggy
Zoraline, a very pregnant Bengle cat mama was found by a shelter in San Francisco. At the time she had an injured left leg which made it difficult for her to bend down.
Later she gave birth to a litter of kittens, but only one survived. The shelter did not have enough room for the mother and son, and they were in danger of being put down, so many people started looking for foster parents who could take them in.
Kimberly Jennery who has been a foster mother for many years received a phone call about Zoraline and Ziggy. “I went to San Mateo to pick them up… After waiting for a long time for them to microchip her, and move her and the one surviving baby into a box, I brought them home. She was listed as a stray,” said Kimberly.
Ziggy is a bundle of joy. After his eyes opened up, he couldn’t wait to start venturing around the house. Zoraline was a sweet cat mama who did a great job looking after her baby. By day 3, Zoraline was comfortable enough in her new foster home to let Kimberly handle her baby Ziggy.
"Sweepy..."
Mama Zoraline was not producing enough milk, so Kimberly stepped in to help. “Ziggy was losing weight and getting dehydrated, so I started supplementing.” After that, Ziggy was thriving and growing like a champ.
Both Zoraline and Ziggy love to play and are always looking for things to play with whether it is a roll of toilet paper, foster parent’s feet or anything they could turn into a toy. When Kimberly brought back a black little orphaned kitten, Rocky, Ziggy immediately took to her and even offered to wash her. Though sometimes he tried to wrestle with his foster sister, Ziggy always kept an eye on Rocky and made sure that she was ok. “Ziggy couldn’t wait for Rocky to get just a little more mobile and bigger. Rocky purred like crazy even when Ziggy was a little rough with (her).”
Little Ziggy and Zoraline have found their forever loving homes and are having a blast with their new life.

Ahh!! Those eyes are just too cute!
Just too precious!
What a beautiful story and photos, I love them all. I love how mom, baby, and other foster baby, all have lives full of warmth, food and love instead of the cruel alternative. Thank you!
Adorable!
Awww… I love your story of Ziggy and Zoraline! Rocky turned out to be a girl
Also, Zoraline's leg was a permanent injury, but she turned out in the end to NOT have a heart murmur (yay!)
Finally, if folks want to see them in motion, go to my youtube page and search on Ziggy. Prepare to have your morning taken up, though

Lovely, lovely entry!
It was wonderful to see those photos again 
(Also, I have EIGHT foster kittens who need homes right now – if you live in the SF Bay Area, let me know if you want one!)
Lots of thanks to you Kimberly. You are amazing.
Aw…loved the story and the pictures! They are sooo adorable!!
I miss the days that I lived in the country and took in many rescues. Nothing more precious than a baby kitten!
Saw your videos on YouTube..SO cute! Little Kiki looked alot like Ziggy
Thank you for fostering and for giving all of them love!!
Both mama and baby are beautiful! I'm so glad they found loving homes. (Were they able to stay together, or did I miss that?)
They didn't go together, no … and honestly, Zora was SO done with motherhood by the time Ziggy got adopted it was just FINE! Ziggy went to a home where his "big brother" was named ZigZag, and got renamed, eventually, Ruti. I get updates on him… he's a sweet terror, and he LOVES playing with his big brother
Zoraline took a long time to find the right home, but when we did, it was PERFECT! She is SO happy at her home with a slightly older and more mellow buddy.
love cats….this kitten is soooo cute..
How wonderful, that both got adopted! It's very strange to abandon a Bengal cat, they are so gorgeous!
So good to hear a happy ending!
Careful. Use toys for kitten play. not hands.
The video made me laugh it was just so CUTE!! I appreciate those that can foster. I gave it a try with a beautiful, failure to thrive dog. It was so awesome to watch her thrive under my care. I provided top of the line food (she gained much needed weight), love, play and a lot of walks. I have yet to recover from the horrible grief deep in my heart as she walked away with her wonderful new family looking back at me the whole time. I want her back so much. So I know how hard it is to foster and let them go. Many thanks to the wonderful foster moms & dads that find a way to cope with those feelings.
Beautiful big round eyes! I love the markings on the forehead of Ziggy. Mom and baby are just so adorable.
Cute!!!!!! Very cute!!!!!
Those super-bitty kitten pix, they just wreck me. What an adorable morsel. He's beautiful.
If you still hate cats after going on this wecsite you have no heart.
Isn't that the truth! I LOVE cats – and everytime I like at this (my fave kitty website) I wonder the same thing!
I love a kitten very.

OMG, what precious kitties! Love the belly pics! I love cats and kittens so much, I wish I had more (we have 4 now). Thanks for sharing the story of these precious babies!
Great pics of the little guy! So sweet–it hits me right in the heart.
Beautiful, beautiful little kitten and mama! LOVE cats! The mum must have been lost. Can't imagine a special cat like that being a stray. So sad for both animal and owner! However, in this case, there was a happy ending, thanks to wonderful, caring people!
Very beautiful! Ziggy is so cute! The pics are really great!
