Following a recent portrait session, I thought I 'd have a little fun with some kittens from the adoption center at Pinellas Animal Hospital, where I hold many of my studio portrait sessions. Sarah, a technician and occasional photo assistant was standing outside of the frame wielding a cat teaser a few feet above the kitten's heads.

We shot for at least an hour. I thought we'd wear out the kittens (four total) but it was the other way around.

Anyone in the Tampa Bay Area, interested in adopting a kitten or a young cat should contact Pinellas Animal Hospital at 727-546-0005. Currently there are two teenagers available. Mowhawk, an absolute charmer really does have a natural mowhawk. He's great with other animals, including dogs and has a lovely black and white coat. If I didn't already have a house full, he'd be coming home with me. The other young cat is a sweet tortoise shell colored kitty. She's very calm and will make a wonderful lap warmer for the person lucky enough to adopt her.

There are four kittens and they won't last long. All of them are well socialized and very sweet. Evident in the photos is their enthusiasm for play.

[NOTE: All the kittens from this shoot, as well as Mohawk and the Tortoise Shell cat have found loving homes. I'm certain new adoptees will be arriving soon]
