Lucy & Lilli

Our experience with Hilltop Haven has been amazing. Several weeks ago, we

began our search for a kitten. We were very specific in what we wanted in a new

fur baby. Our ideal kitten, had to be a female and had to be Orange or White in

color.

One evening, after traveling to Lakeland to look for our ideal kitten, I was given a

business card for Hilltop Haven from an employee at the local pet store. We

weren’t from the area, we live in Seminole County, which is literally 6 counties

away from where Hilltop Haven is located. If it had not been for that business

card, we probably never would have heard of Hilltop Haven, and we wouldn’t be

where we are today.

I communicated thru text with a woman by the name of Jean Wilkes and told her

what we were interested in. She sent me some pictures of some beautiful kittens.

I settled on one that I thought we might be interested in (a beautiful 6 ½ month old

orange female tabby), and we worked out a time for my husband and I to come

visit and meet the fur baby. Jean had also picked out three other kittens for us to

meet as well. Mind you now, we had to travel over an hour and a half for this

meeting. But as soon as we walked in the door, I saw those little eyes, and I fell in

love with Lucy! I said “yes, she’s the one”!

However, we had a dilemma, my husband and I were getting ready to go out of

town for two weeks and we would not be able to adopt Lucy and take her home

with us on the spot. Jean, without hesitation, said she would hold Lucy for us

until we got back. During that time Jean communicated with me daily sending me

pictures of Lucy so we didn’t miss a minute of her growth. Which I was so

thankful for! Jean told us that day the story about Lucy and her siblings and how

they were found on a construction site with their mother, soon after they were

born. Jean told me that there was another orange female as well, in the same

litter but that she had already adopted her out.

Lo and behold a week later, Jean messaged me while we were out of town and

said that the people who adopted the sibling, brought her back, didn’t want her.

Can you even imagine that? Jean asked me if we would be interested in her since

she was a littermate to Lucy. My husband and I, by no means were interested in

two kittens but how could we now take only Lucy without taking her sister Lilli?

We had never even met Lilli as she was not there when we met Lucy, but I now

know in my heart that Lilli was meant to be ours too.

We have had our new fur babies home now for a little over a week and what an

exciting time it has been. From the fun at watching them play together running

thru the house, to the loving snuggles that they each give us after they are worn

out from playing, they both have completely stolen our hearts, to say the least!

Jean has worked with us and given us direction as to several things as it pertains

to our new kittens since they have been home and I appreciate her expertise and

guidance with it all.

My husband and I would like to give a huge shout out to Jean Wilkes and

everyone at Hilltop Haven, for helping to make our family complete and thank you

for everything!
