When Melissa and Tyler Lucas welcomed two tiny foster kittens into their home, they had no idea how much their hearts—and their arms—were about to be filled. Sisters Ida and Izzy, rescued after their mother could no longer care for them, arrived as a bonded pair needing love, patience, and lots of bottle feedings.

From the start, Izzy would melt into anyone’s arms, falling asleep mid-cuddle, content just to be close.

As the weeks went on, the kittens grew—both in size and personality. Izzy, especially, became a full-time cuddlebug. Whether it was climbing up a human for hugs, throwing dramatic tantrums until someone picked her up, or using the resident dog as a warm perch, her affection knew no bounds. Her antics kept the household laughing, even if they made productivity impossible. Meanwhile, Ida balanced the pair with her wide-eyed curiosity and bold energy. Together, they turned every nap into a cuddle-fest and every room into a playground of purring, playful chaos.
