Two Uncertain Beginnings

Meet Callie and Cole Luke and Leia. These poor things are orphans just three days after birth. Apparently their mom went away one morning and never came back. They haven't even lost their umbilical cords yet!
Callie and Cole Luke and Leia obviously have a rough road ahead of them. Fortunately, so far, they seem to be up for the fight. I've had them since about 4:00 this afternoon, and they appear to be eating and "pottying" well. They seem to have plenty of energy too. Callie Leia, especially, has a lot of spunk for such a tiny little thing. I've been warned not to expect too much, but maybe they'll defy the odds and grow up to be healthy and beautiful cats. At the moment, they're barely half a cup size: 4 3/8 ounces for Callie Leia and 4 1/4 ounces for Cole Luke.
