Bolitar the Maneki Neko
Bolitar Zzzzz....
Four tabby kittens were found under a bush near the office where Fred Anderson works. “They came to us on March 16th (2010) at about 5 weeks old,” said Robyn Anderson, a rescuer and foster parent for Challenger’s House in Toney, Alabama
The next morning Fred set up a trap and baited it, hoping to catch all the kittens and bring them to safety. Those squirmy little ones wouldn’t stay under the bushes. Afraid that they would wander out into the parking lot, Fred snatched them up and brought them home. Eventually the cat mother was found and taken to the vet. Unfortunately she was very sick and was not able to make it, but all her babies survived.
All four kittens were named after literary characters from books Fred and Robyn enjoy. They are Reacher, Bolitar, Rhyme and Corbett – the Bookworms.
The kittens had the time of their lives at their foster home. They loved to eat, never stopped to amaze people with their antics and always slept like champs. Several months after they were rescued, they were put up for adoption. In just a month, Bolitar was adopted. After a long wait, Ryhme and Reacher also found their forever home in February (2011). Edit: Corbett finally found his loving home on March 30 (2011). Yay!

Hooray for Fred!!!! Snagging those wild little critters can be hard..even when they are itty bitty babies LOL
. I am a foster failure too Robyn 
I found my calico in a yard cornered by a dog and she fit in the palm of my hand. Had to teach that kitten how to drink [and this was before I knew anything about little kittens-yikes!]. She lived to be 16 and was queen of her domain. These little babies are simply adorable and dripping with sweetness. Thanks for the GREAT pics!
Wow, this is adorable!!!!!
Adorable cute kittens!!!

I agree with all of the previous posts. They are all adorable! Love the "triple high 5" and the photo of the three asleep.
