Our new rescue kittens

By William Lister

Last Sunday Mum, Jeremy, and I went to Goondiwindi to visit the Macintyre animal and pet rescue (MAPR) and while we were there we got two new kittens that are about 8 weeks old.

They were found on a street in Goondiwindi about two weeks ago and had lots of fleas when they were found and were very hungry.

They are brother and sister and both have blue eyes.

One is grey and white and her name is Cookie and the other is white and ginger and his name is Arkwright.

And as is the tradition in our house they are both names after open all hours characters (except Cookie).

Our other cats names are Granville and Norman.

When we first got them home we put them in my room for a week so that they could feel safe.

It’s my job to feed them and mum cleans the kitty litter.

They are really fun to play with and they like to chase a little ball around and a toy bird on a string.

Mum said she came into my room to check on them the first night and they were both asleep on my bed with me.

They are very snuggly and really like to play.

Arkwright is very outgoing and Cookie is a bit more shy.

We really love them.

All of our pets are rescue or stay pets and the make the best friends.
