The Seesters' Story

In the summer of 2015, two tiny black kittens came into my life—and they never let go. I didn't plan for them. I didn't go looking. They were just *there*, needing someone, needing *me*. They were barely hanging on... eyes sealed shut with infection, barely a mewl to be heard. I wrapped them in towels, warmed them against my chest, and whispered promises I wasn’t sure I could keep. “You’re safe now,” I said. “We’re gonna get through this.” And we did. These two became my heart. My strength. My reason to keep going through some of the hardest years of my life. I call them The Seesters—Big Seester and Little Seester. Sisters in spirit and survivors both. This is their story.

Newborn kittens cuddled up in a towel — **Born with nothing but each other**
Wrapped in hope, held in love.

Tiny Seester curled up warm — **Safe and warm**
This might’ve been their first real nap without fear.

Little Seester in soft towel nest — **First moments**
Both eyes sealed shut, still fighting to live.

Little Seester’s other eye — **The other side of the fight**
Swollen closed but never beaten.

Big Seester being bottle fed — **Big Seester with her tiny bottle**
—she latched on like a pro from the start!

Little Seester where you can see both eyes — **Little Seester, eyes sealed shut and barely hanging on**
—but she was already a fighter.

The Seesters — **June 7, 2015**
— Already thick as thieves (even if one’s clearly got the jumpstart)

Tired Kittens — **Tired babies after a big day of growin’ and snugglin'**
One yawn away from dreamland

The Seesters Sleeping — **Safe, warm, and wrapped in love**
Just two tiny babes with full bellies and big dreams.

Seesters forever — **Seesters from the start**
—side by side, heart to heart.

Seesters Learning to Eat — **Tiny paws, big appetites!**

Seesters Bath Time — **Tiniest bundle, bravest heart—bath time for a baby Seester.**

Playtime — **Found my new favorite toy—don’t even think about taking it!**

Seesters Sleeping in the sink — **Where one goes, the other follows—sisters, always.**

Seesters head to head heart to heart — **Best friends since the very beginning**

The Seesters’ story is proof that family isn’t just who you’re born to, but who stands by you, shares your plate, and curls up with you at the end of a long day. Their journey reminds us that even the tiniest hearts can fill a home with courage, hope, and love that never lets go.
