Luca

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Hello, heykes, hoi hoi… We’re the cheerful, happy little ones from Mama Palma, and since we’ve reached the blessed age of over 12 weeks, Mama told us it’s time to start standing on our own two feet. But humm… we don’t quite get it… Aren’t we already standing on our own two feet? Which other feet could we possibly be standing on??? Crazy Mama! We do understand, though—she’s taken such good care of us here at the foster home, even though Mama would much rather just hang out freely in a nice garden. Staying indoors like this is totally not her thing. So we’ve decided to be good, not ask too many questions, and put our best paws forward. At first glance, we look exactly alike—super fun for the foster moms, who can never tell which one of us is the “culprit” when some mischief breaks out again. Of course, we sisters Ivana and Sofia are a bit smaller than our brothers Rio and Luca, but we’re pretty tough too. I, Ivana, am built a bit more delicately, but I’ll stand up for myself if the boys ever act silly again. I’m not going to let them walk all over me! I’m kind of the little boss and also incredibly curious. And then there’s me, Sofia—the special one. I have slightly different markings and I’m the unlucky one of the bunch. Well, I went ahead and tried to play the tough chick again. Pfft—I thought I’d show everyone what I can already do and stormed up the stairs. Then I crashed spectacularly because a door opened—and what do I do… yup, that’s right, I, the tough chick, took a huge leap down... Can you picture it already? Yes, all the kitties land on their paws… including me—but not quite as neatly as they should have. For two whole days, I didn’t show any signs of it, but then the moms finally noticed something was wrong… I wasn’t feeling great at all, and my paw… it was super swollen and oh, so painful! After a visit to the vet, where I got to pose for a photo, it turned out my paw was indeed broken—no doubt about it. And I got even worse news… four weeks of crate rest!!! OMG, I wish I’d been a bit more of a girl, I thought to myself. So yeah, I’ve been good, hoping everything would soon get better—and now I’m finally allowed to join in the fun again, which is really lovely. Sometimes I even forget that I’m still in rehab or something like that, and then I get called back onto the mat by Miss: “Hey, calm down, sweetie…” Pfft, I’ve got a really tough life. And now it’s our turn! We’re two handsome chicos, super tough (hum hum) and with a gingerbread heart. We—Rio and me, Luca—are really good at pretending we’re not scared of anything. We run, jump, and play like crazy—but let’s be honest, we still find everything new a bit scary at first. Still, I, Luca, am the toughest of us two. Rio—he’s, shh, don’t let him hear this—is a bit of a mama’s boy and always rushes back to her whenever we get into trouble again. Of course, our mom is the safest place ever, but she keeps sending him back anyway, saying: “Come on, Rio, you can do it. There’s nothing to be afraid of—just go ahead and play, explore, and enjoy. Everything will be fine, my little ones.” And that’s true—everything does work out. With some, it happens a bit faster than with others, but together we’re strong. We’re not really into cuddling yet—we’re way too busy with other things. Laser pointers are awesome! Mice and balls—such fun we have! But when our foster moms pick us up for a cuddle… it’s always a bit nerve-wracking, but our little motors are working perfectly, you know. A cuddle session can really do wonders. Are you looking for a cute little face? Well, we’re ready for that. Ideally, of course, we’d love to move in pairs—that’s always a bit nicer, and we’d feel steadier on our eight paws. Mixing is fine too, because we all like seeing each other. But if you’ve got a cute little kitten at home who’s looking for a fun playmate… that’ll work out just fine too. Love and see you soon, Ivana and Sofia, Luca and Rio
