I took Cuddles for his afternoon walk today

And it breaks my heart to have found two more kittens back there and the three adults I also know to live back by that cemetery that we walk to.
They are the same size as Shadow, only cuter lol.

Judge for yourself. One of them walked up to Cuddles and basically said "you don't scare me buddy" and sniffed him up and down lol.
It makes sense now that Shadow seems a little down and lethargic, as she may well miss her two siblings.
I so wish I could take all three, they are all so adorable,
The one eating not in plain view is cuter than the gray, and she reminds me of Petunia.
The good news is that Cuddles isn't going after any of them so they get to eat with us sitting around watching.
They were definitely dumped there as the dad and all three kittens seem friendly or darn close to being so.

If you live in Central Illinois and want to help with these babies, I can catch either of the kittens and would even deliver if you wanted one. The shelters are so full of cats now that they won't take more.
If you're serious, please DU mail me.
