There's a whole caboodle of cats heading out today for their new lives -- and Cuteheads are helping every step of the way!
For this latest transport, we're giving a ride to 10 kittens and 4 adults cats. It's a whole carload, I tell you. Seven carriers in total! (If you see someone driving down the road with a car full of cat carriers, honk and wave hi... It's probably a Cutehead transporter!)
As usual, I have a favorite in this transport. I swear, I'd probably keep one from every group if I didn't have a pet limit at my condo. Good thing I do!

| Me and Lestat. Look at his awesome cross-eyes and tongue! |
Lestat is the coolest cat. He is a huge boy with the tiniest chirp of a meow. He is also incredibly timid and sweet, and just an all-around great catch. Someone is going to be very lucky to adopt him!
Lestat was surrendered at Broward Animal Control in Pompano with his three sisters. Apparently some guy's wife left him and the country, so he dumped their cats. The sweetest cats!
One got adopted right away, but his other two sisters, Callie and Smokey, we scooped up and rescued! Our amazing friends at
Forever Home Feline Ranch said they'd take them in and find them real forever homes. Hurray!
 |
| Pretty Callie! |
Then, the Ranch told us that they didn't have any adoptable kittens. No kittens?! We could fix that! So we asked our good friend, Wendy K., who we knew had just rescued some kittens from Miami Dade Animal Services if she had homes for them yet. She said no, so all of the sudden, all five of them had a place to go. Put on your cowboy hats, kitties, you're headed to the Ranch!
And then two adorable kittens popped up at animal control here. Can you guess what happened? They got their ticket to the Ranch, too!

| Whiskers and Barry, sitting still for a rare second. |
And then... (yup, there's more!)... We got word of three tiny black kittens at Gaston County Animal Shelter in North Carolina. They are a gas chamber shelter (booooo!) and so these tiny babies needed rescue fast.
Forever Home Feline Ranch to the rescue! We gave those babies their walking papers, got them all vetted and they are hopping in the car with us, too! They are being transported to Chattanoooga, TN today and will head out with the rest of the transport on Sunday.

| One of the Easter kittens. I can't wait to see out-of-the-shelter pictures! |
We named them Peep, Cadbury and Jellybean since it's almost Easter. How cute is that?
 |
| UPDATE: We got this picture of the Easter kittens busted out of the shelter this morning. How precious! |
Speaking of Chattanooga, Cutehead Emily B. is hosting a sleepover for ALL of these cats tonight. Can you imagine how much fun that will be? The Florida cats will all end up at her house tonight and the North Carolina kittens will be there, too, and then she'll give them love and luxury tonight, and then pack them up and get them started on the rest of their journey first thing Sunday morning!
We've got an amazing team of drivers helping these lucky kitties this weekend, and we've had tons of help getting them ready to go before this, too.
We'll be using the Twitter hashtag
#CaboodleCaravan to follow these kitties on their travels and sharing on
Your Daily Cute's Facebook page as well, of course. Cheer on the kitties with us!
