Kitten portraits for Broken Promises Rescue, Victoria, B.C.

I volunteer for an animal rescue agency here in Victoria, B.C., taking photographs of some of the foster animals that come in for placement in their forever homes.  Recently I photographed two kittens at their wonderful foster home.  Both these kittens have had a hard start to life before being brought into the care of Broken Promises Rescue (www.brokenpromisesrescue.com). They are not littermates, but have been fostered together and have formed a strong bond. Ichabod, the little long haired black kitten, was found with both eyes badly infected, and only one recovered fully. Edward, the short haired black and white kitten, was found nearly dead by the side of a road and brought to the agency, with a badly damaged eye.  Both kittens will lose their 'bad' eyes when they are about 9 months old (paid for fully by the agency). Both kittens have fully recovered, with a few bumps along the way, but now are ready for adoption to their 'furever home' together. They are thriving and bonded and healthy. And active! It was hard to get photos of them that weren't blurred!  Here are a few of the photos I took.
