Excellent- good to see lovely little kittens getting a home and even better that they have a home together. We have three rescue cats.
Yes , it is most heartwarming to see them rescued to a much better life. :D
I am down from my original 3 rescue cats , to just one now, due to bereavement . As the remaining chap has waited over ten years to have my full attention, ( and is himself 12 years old by now) - I am not taking in another - and upseting him. I do tend to feed tasty 'picnics' to the neighbour's rescue cats and any good natured 'visitors' to the street's cat community areas. I not only love cats ( as you may have gathered :lol: ) but I also feel that if someone else homes a rescue cat, I will at least feed them during the day - and provide a safe zone, whilst their domestic staff are out at work.
Regarding insurance, I was always put off by the following 4 factors :
1) All I encountered stipulated a £100 excess for each 'new' series of vet visits / tests / illness.
2) They would not cover preventative / comfort providing dental treatment , unless the cat's mouth was in a bad way. This I find reprehensible - as the many cats I had shared a house with this last few decades - had all needed quite regular dental treatments, especially into middle and old age.
3) Certain viral / bacterial infections that have caused very worrying and potentially life threatening illnesses , would not have been covered - as they are often considered as ' pre-existing conditions' as of course the cat ( like us ) naturally carries many dormant organisms , but if they suddenly proliferate ( as happened to my older cat very recently ) the result can be quite major.
4) The same again with renal problems , in that they
may cover blood tests and late life medications at their discression, , but as cats usually go into renal distress after a life of eating Protein, protein and more protein - any reluctance to cover these conditions seems about as unfair as trying to dodge routinine dental issues.
Of course after a cat is 8 years old (o.n.o) - you usually cannot get an insurance company to touch them with a barge pole, ; which is grim news for those wanting to home / rescue the mature cat.
I hope that you can get a much better deal than that, but those are the issues encountered by myself and a 'cat rescuing' neighbour of mine this last 20 years or so.
Meanwhile , I am delighted you gave the little darlings a god home, well played Sir ! :D
