Two little kittens who were born to a stray cat mom, cuddled their way into their forever home.
Sprinkles a rescue stray and her three kittens were found near the Oregon border and rescued by Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS, in Lynnwood, Washington).
The mama needed a place to raise her kittens, and that's when Ashely (Seattle based foster @youngestoldcatlady) stepped up to help.
One of the kittens (Maple) sadly passed away. Fritter and Coco, the two remaining kittens were cradled by their loving mama cat, who would not leave their side.
Ashley brought food and water to Mama Sprinkles so she would eat while nursing her kittens. When the feline babies started to crawl, she was right there, watching over them every step of the way.
"She often waited till I came in to go potty and eat while I watched the babies," Ashely added.
Ashley earned the mama's trust and they began to snuggle together after meal time.
As the kittens grew bigger, mama gradually let them explore a bit farther while keeping on eye on them at all times.
The two siblings were very close.
They learned to play together, explored everything in twos and always snuggled with each other when they napped.
Fritter and Coco were like two peas in a pod.
Once they discovered their mischievous side, they began to create all kinds of antics around the house, keeping their foster mom entertained.
After a lot of playing and scampering around, they would wrap their arms around each other and fall asleep together.
Lounging by the windows, having the time of their lives.
Fritter cuddled up to his sister Coco while she was trying to sleep.
The two best friends had grown by leaps and bounds and were finally ready for their next chapter in life.
Two weeks ago, they moved into their forever home together, and their mama Sprinkles was also adopted. "Their human parents are totally in love with them and couldn't be happier," Ashely said.
Fritter and Coco are now cuddling in a place they call home.
