From Qatar To Connecticut

A commercial airline pilot based in New York, was walking through a marketplace in Doha, Qatar when she discovered 3 tiny kittens hiding behind some cardboard, and learned that their mother had been hit and killed by a car. Thus began her tireless quest to not only rescue them but to make sure they had the best lives possible in the United States. Terry visited Forgotten Felines and asked if we would be willing to take the kittens once she was able to get them out of Qatar. Of course, we said yes.

Terry found an airline to transport the kittens, and a flight angel was secured to take them as “accompanied baggage” on the flight to their new home.

After an extremely long flight from Doha International Airport in Qatar to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Terry picked up three very blessed kittens and drove them to Forgotten Felines, where they were enthusiastically welcomed to brand new lives and now settling into their new foster home.

These kittens are very playful, very sweet, cuddly and super active as they love to play with their toys and interact with their foster family. We are looking for a very special home who is willing to adopt all 3 kittens so they can stay together as a family. Applications for all 3 will be given preference. Estimated date of birth: 8/30/22
