Growing<br />
Kittens Buddha <strong>and</strong> Tucker<br />
snuggle in their bed. At just<br />
one week <strong>ol</strong>d, the two rely on<br />
the 24-hour care provided by<br />
their foster parent.<br />
success<br />
Foster Care v<strong>ol</strong>unteer Jenny Gonzales h<strong>ol</strong>ds<br />
a kitten just one week <strong>ol</strong>d, whose eyes could<br />
open at any moment. Though he has been<br />
born into this world so small <strong>and</strong> helpless,<br />
the first days of Buddha’s life have been full of love,<br />
security <strong>and</strong> tender care.<br />
Buddha has never gone hungry, as every two<br />
hours he receives life-giving nutrients from the tip<br />
of a warm bottle. He has never known vulnerability<br />
or danger, as Buddha falls asleep each night in soft<br />
blankets <strong>and</strong> a protective kennel. Buddha wakes to a<br />
new day full of health <strong>and</strong> growing potential, as he<br />
snuggles <strong>and</strong> plays with his adorable brother, Tucker.<br />
When the time comes for Buddha to first open his<br />
bright eyes to this big world, it will have supported<br />
him in every minute of his life so far. Somewhere in<br />
this kitten’s heart, Buddha will know he has been<br />
taken care of.
