Servicing the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove, LAPS (Langley Animal Protection Society) has become a vital source of protection for vulnerable cats, dogs, and their babies in British Columbia. Over 1,400 animals in need every year receive the tireless efforts of LAPS dedicated team of volunteers.

Purrhaps their pride and joy, however, is their kitten fostering services, appropriately dubbed LAPS Foster Kittens on Facebook. There, foster families and other LAPS volunteers share stories and photos of the incredible cats and kittens that cross their path on the way from abandoned and in need to living their best cat lives in the right forever homes.

Mama Cat Penne came to LAPS already pregnant but not quite yet dubbed a "catermelon," the endearing title LAPS offers up to very obviously pregnant mama cats.

Penne was being fostered by Miss Viki and Her Foster Friends on behalf of LAPS while she prepared to birth her kittens.

Penne was being sponsored by Alicia McLeod, a volunteer for LAPS, while she lived with her foster family.

As anticipated, the kittens were born very close to Christmas and they were given the cutest pasta themed named pawsible.

Fusilli - Black

Gemelli - White

Rigatoni - White with straight Black mark on head

Tortellini - Tabby

Ravioli - White with slanted Black mark on head

As expected, the kittens and their purr-fect names were an absolute delight.

Tortellini:

Gemelli & Ravioli!

LAPS makes sure that all of their foster kittens, including those of the pasta variety, don't go up for adoption until they're completely ready to leave their mommas and live their best cat filled lives.

LAPS also expurrtly uses their social media prescense to keep potential adopters hyped and interested in all of the adorable kittens who will need homes by posting cute photos and videos.

"The Pasta Kittens woke up from their nap to wish everyone a #WhiskerWednesday!"

The pasta babies, Fusilli, Gemelli, Rigatoni, Tortellini, and Ravioli will live full, happy lives, thanks to LAPS.
