Dear Niblets,

You are all growing so big and bold and full of energy! And yet, you’ll always be our little Niblets. Another one of you leaves us today and we are both wildly happy for your new beginning with your forever family and sad because parting is never easy.

Russell, as only an orange boy can do, you had our hearts from the very beginning. Your sweet kisses on our fingers, your love of your sisters, your funny, smart and laid back mannerisms told us you were destined to become a very special boy, one who would require a very special forever family. And you found one right away! We hear you have a big sister a number of months older than you just waiting for a playmate and with your love of your sisters here, this role will fit you perfectly.

The last of our kisses are almost at an end, sweetie. Go grow strong and happy, our sun lover Russell. Play hard and love harder. May the sun share all its sweet kisses with you.

Illy and Viola, we see your forever homes on the not-so-distant horizon. Your playful antics are going to wow your families, we just know it. Illy, your beautiful Tortie colors coming through are only eclipsed by your fun-loving personality. Alternating between going after what you want and calmly assessing your world, you are one dynamite little package. You will win over all of your new family in no time. Until then, you are still ours and a million more kisses are coming your way.

Viola, our sweet little Viola. You squeezed our hearts from the very moment you were born. Your future is destined to be very special, no matter where you go or what you do. You are a special little girl who is growing to become a beautiful little lady. Is it possible to kiss you too much? We hope not because we have many, many more to share!

With joy in our hearts and a wee bit of sorrow, we wave good-bye to Russell Niblet. Be good, sweetheart. Happy holidays to you and your new forever family. We wish you only the very best in 2014 and beyond!

With all our love,
your foster Mom & Dad

Before he became Russell, he was the last Niblet of four.

This quiet sweetheart sucked his thumb through his third week.

And always found reason for that pink tongue to be hanging out.

We soon discovered he’s a sun lover and always found the best sun puddles.

Just starting to develop grown cat features, we think Russell is going to be one handsome Mancat in no time at all.

Tomorrow, sweet Russell will be off on his greatest adventure yet with his new forever family. We’ll send him off with the memory of a million kisses and all the love in our hearts. Be the good boy we know you are, little love heart!
