Olympic's name came about because he is very athletic.  He has the loudest purr of the group.

Our first impression of Bear was, well, he is a bear!  The very first day, he came roaring out of the carrier,  stood up on his hind legs and try to impress us with his power!  His name is Mercer now, after Mercer Island in Seattle. 

Sunburst's name says it all.  He is a burst of sun!  He is very talkative, he always seems joyful, and he is a quite a learner.  He learned our signal for food very quickly.

C.C. is a sweet guy.  He is always comfortable on our laps and on bed with us.  Sunburst and C.C. are from the same litter, and they are best friends!

Fog is another sweet guy.  He is a good example of a perfect cat.  He is playful but never devilish, he knows when to eat, and his markings are beautiful.  We think he will grow to be one handsome cat.

Speaking of handsome cats, Rainier is the most graceful cat we ever fostered.  He is aptly named.  He has the presence of a mountain, yet he shows the grace of mother nature.

We gave Raja this name because he is a small tiger, but we hope he will grow to be big and strong.  We think he is well on his way!

Mist is the perfect gray tabby.  His markings are circular, meaning he is probably a pure tabby cat.  We had a hard time letting him go because he would complement Hazel very well.

Miracle went through so much.  She almost died.  We learn new things every time we foster kittens, but she taught us to never give up on a sick kitten even when there seems to be no hope of survival.  Go Miracle!    

The best thing about these guys were that despite all the problems they had health-wise, they persevered, got healthy, and nobody went to Animal Heaven.  We had nine kittens!  How did we do it!?  We don't know, but we hope we will be as blessed next season.
