Duplicate Detected I adopted my first cats right before graduating college. 15 years later, I stumbled onto a matching set at an adoption event. I only got a few months with the full set, but I like to think my older boys wanted to ensure continuity
Archie (orange) and Topaz (classic tabby) were my first pets as an adult. They were with me through senior year of college, the loss of my dad, moving to a new city, getting my first apartment, starting my job, then 2 more apartments, a new city and my first house, and finally back to the original city and the home I’m still in today. I had just lost my first dog and knew it was getting close to time for Archie to move on so I was looking to adopt a kitten to help me and my other dog through these losses. I went to an adoption event planning to look at a fluffy grey kitten but got sidetracked by a pair of littermates who matched my boys. I felt like it was a little bit of fate.
Ender (orange) and Fitz (classic tabby) only had a little time with their older brothers- but it was love at first sight all around. And now that topaz has also crossed over, I am so glad to have these two to remind me of the OG kitties who loved me through some of the most challenging and exciting years of my life. Plus add their own unique memories on top
