Wachter said the kittens arrived at the shelter in early April weighing just 0.33 pounds, before their eyes had even opened. After spending several weeks in a volunteer foster home, she said the siblings are now ready for adoption.
Madonna, a black-and-white kitten, was described as outgoing and playful, while Mariah, a long-haired calico, was more reserved. Wachter noted that nearly all calico cats are female.

Shelter staff encourages other prospective adopters to visit the shelter and meet available pets.
