Bag o' Kitties?

Last night, I got a message from my mate which started with, "don't kill me..." then told the story about how she was at the pet store picking up some much needed kitty provisions when a couple came in with two kitties in a reusable waterproof shopping bag. They had found them abandoned and it was too late to take them to the shelter, so they brought them to the pet store because they couldn't care for them since they have a puppy. My mate couldn't ignore the situation and these folks were obviously ill equipped for what they had, so she brought them home where we got them food and water and a litterbox, setting up the bathroom for them.

Today, I took them to Hinsdale Humane Society to be processed and vaccinated and checked over. Tonight, I brought them home for fostering since they need socialization. They're both girls and, most likely, the bigger one is the little one's mom.

Valentine Kitties! 

We named the mom (DLH black) Cupid and the daughter (ragdoll mix) Valentina.
