🐾 Um... where are all the kitten people?! 🐾

For months we've been answering the same question:

💬 "Do you have any kittens?"
💬 "When will you get kittens?"
💬 "I've been waiting for kitten season!"
💬 "Call me when you have kittens!"

Well... 📣 THIS IS THE CALL.

The kittens have arrived.

Not a few kittens.

Not some kittens.

ALL THE KITTENS.

Tiny kittens. Fluffy kittens. Orange kittens. Chaos kittens. Professional biscuit-makers. Future curtain climbers. Tiny criminals with absolutely no remorse.

And now that we're brimming with kittens...

👀 crickets!

Did everyone suddenly adopt a kitten? Did kitten season get canceled in your group chat? Have you all collectively decided to become bird watchers instead?

Because from where we're sitting, it feels a little like:

You spent months meowing about where the kittens were, and now you've ghosted us.

We were promised crowds. We were promised lines out the door. We were promised people throwing adoption applications at us.

Instead, we're over here surrounded by adorable faces wondering if we accidentally opened a kitten-only speakeasy and forgot to tell anyone.

So consider this your official reminder:

🐱 The kittens are here.
🐱 They are ready for homes.
🐱 They are growing up faster than we'd like.
🐱 And they would very much appreciate being upgraded from shelter life to couch life.

Come meet your new best friend before these tiny fluffballs start questioning our marketing strategy.
