We adopted 2 of our kitties from the shelter as kittens. The 3rd was headed to the shelter if the owner couldn't find a home... so I guess I can count that as a rescue, too. Love love love all three of them: Milo, Velcro, and Loki.
Oh, we adopted Velcro's brother, Amos, too... but he was a very sick kitten and died a week after we brought him home. That was a sad time.
