Clementine & Lyra
Location: Baltimore, MD, USA
These are my two foster kittens Clementine and Lyra. The rescue I work with, Walter Rescue, pulled them and their mom from BARCS animal shelter when they were just five days old. They’re the youngest kittens I’ve ever fostered, but I’m so glad I did, because they never would have made it in a huge animal shelter. They both got nasty upper respiratory infections at two weeks old, and Clementine’s developed into pneumonia. I nearly lost her because she just couldn’t nurse and breathe at the same time. A combination of a great vet, the right antibiotic, and me syringe feeding her for a week to get her weight back on track means they’re both healthy, happy kittens today.

What a heroic rescuer of two orange kitties! Clementine certainly has an appropriate name. Thank you for taking such great care of them.
Wow! Couldn’t be brighter orange baby kitties. So sweet. Thanks for saving them!!
Hugs and kisses to Clementine and Lyra.
What pretty little house tigers! I hope they get good loving homes.
Very cute kitties. Thank you for your commitment to get these two beautiful kitties back to health. I hope someone adopts both of them. They look like they belong together. ^ ^
Such a beautiful duo – and really define the orange cat! Glad you had everything you needed plus your dedication to the health of Clementine and Lyra.

When these wee kits come into a room, they bring the light and warmth of sunshine! Iattah bittah kittahs can’t survive in a shelter environment. Clementine and Lyra are so lucky to have a guardian angel. Thank you for your efforts esp. with Clementine.
They are such cuties! So orange..
Clementine & Lyra are gorgeous little kitties.
I have a tortie girl named Lyra!
Well done!! Hugs to you and your foster furbabies!!

Very cute foster babes you have nursed to health. I’m so glad they came into your care. I hope they both find amazing forever homes.
How rare to see two little marmalade sisters, both as cute as buttons! Bless you for taking such excellent care of these two. If only your heart could be cloned. Prayers have been sent that these two get the best forever homes.
Aw, thanks all. As of this Friday, when Clem was adopted, both girls and their mom have wonderful new homes. These were my first newborns, and the hardest ever for me to let go of. And this afternoon I pick up a new foster, an adult orange boy. Always a kitty in need…
Clementine and Lyra are angels. Thanks to you for rescuing the 2 little darlings. I think I would permanently adopt those two.
When you care for tiny, helpless, sick babies such as these, you deeply bond with them. It about kills you to let them go. Foster parents rock! Bless you for helping those in need.
I’ve never seen a cat the color of a Cheeto! So precious!!! Both are adorable.
God bless you for saving them.
