They took in three kittens who quickly joined five other cats on their petting adventure.

Soon after these three kitties (Nick, Clementine and Holly) arrived at their foster home, they were given a new skill by five tabby friends.
Asa, a volunteer with Kitten Rescue Life, stepped up to care for the trio when another volunteer needed help. By the time they were 10 weeks old, the kittens were a happy, playful bunch, eager for new adventures.
They quickly settled into their new space and were happy to find they weren’t the only litter in the room.

Just a few meters away was another playpen with five tabbies snuggling cosily in a large cat bed.
Born to a stray cat who was later adopted by her rescuer, the tabbies still had some growing to do and skills to hone before they were ready for adoption. They quickly blossomed into the loudest purring lap nugglers, swarming with their foster mother whenever she entered.

“I had the kittens set up in separate enclosures so they could get used to each other,” Asa said.
Within a few days the hissing decreased significantly and the kittens became more and more curious about each other. “There were several instances of them trying to play with each other across the partition, so I tried a short trial of having all eight in the same space.”
They became fast friends. The trio followed the tabbies as they climbed onto their foster mother’s lapAsa
The next day they were fully integrated. “They have been friendly and playful with each other and I am greeted by these kittens all at once.”
Seeing the tabbies eagerly jumping up on their foster mom, meowing for attention, the three newcomers quickly followed suit, forming a cozy blanket of kittens that completely covered her lap.

The trio had never shared a lap with five other kitties before, but now they found it extra cozy to have new furry friends snuggled up next to them.
The eight kittens all huddled together on Asa’s legs, snuggled close together to maximize comfort.

With their shared love of hugs, the tabbies warmly embraced the trio as part of their crew.
as “besides the food lady”, Asa has become their favorite “cat bed”. As soon as she sits down, all eight of them pile on top of her, filling the room with their screeching meows and booming purrs.

The two litters come swimming out of it, zooming with each other, throwing themselves at toys and performing “parkour” around the room. When they pull out, they turn into little spinning machines that caress each other before falling asleep.
After the tabbies, the three kittens have become full-fledged lap cats.

The kittens happily hog Asa’s lap for hours, so she takes her laptop to watch shows while the little ones sleep. “My hand and legs fall asleep with all these puddles, but it’s worth it.”
These eight purring lap cats make this winter extra warm and cozy for their foster family.

Nick, Clementine and Holly have brought joy and new energy to their foster home and blend in seamlessly with their five tabby friends.
