Seven furry visitors brought optimism with them

In the midst of the Covid crisis and the Oregon wildfires came seven little kittens.

Leola caught me enjoying one of life’s little pleasures in spite of Covid-19 looming everywhere. These little kittens, two of a litter of seven, were born as Oregon wildfires threatened some of our family members. We provided temporary refuge when the kittens’ eyes were still closed. The mother cat was quick to remove them to a safe place under the couch, but she tolerated our occasional intrusions. A week later, the fire threat had dropped from the “Evacuate Now” level and family, mother and kittens were back home. At last report, all seven, including the two pictured here, had found happy new homes.
