Cutest

Name: Anish
Breed: Russian Blue mix
IG: @iamelf
Fun Fact: “Anish and her sister were brought to me by their tortie mother. They were abandoned by a potentially backyard breeder in our neighborhood, not close to my home actually. They had a third sister who couldn’t make it and passed away on the way to my place. I got the mama spayed, vaccinated the kittens and relocated them to a safer place. Mama didn’t accept this arrangement and found my place for the second time. Well, I accepted my faith and been taking care of them since although the mama went back to that garden on her own when the kittens were about 4 months old. They are almost 9 months old now. Already spayed, healthy, happy, and ridiculously cute.”
