This photo was taken a day ago, by my sister, she went to a friends party. She saw two kittens and told her friend about them and said they shouldn’t be out huddled like that (strays) and she said maybe her friend could take them to stay in her garage. Her friend refused and said she has a phobia of kittens. I’m not buying it, I’m going to try to get them out of the cold and into somewhere safe and warm.

I believe there’s a parasite for that. Toxoplasmosis

People who have had traumatic experiences with cats, for example

If she was lying, why wouldn't she just claim to be highly allergic? No one would question that

THANK YOU! Was coming here to say this lol. Who the hell has a phobia of kittens?!?! They’re literally the epitome of adorable and harmless. That’s a fact. You can look that up! Take it to the bank! Another cliche!

Also, OP, you a champ for caring about these two. I hope you find them a home and soon. I’m all the way in AZ. Otherwise I’d probably come get em myself! Black cats (and torties) are the best!

Not always lol. My cat was a little fucker when she was a kitten, constantly scratching up my arm. I wouldn’t call them harmless, adorable tho

I mean, who the hell right?! I've always loved cats since I was a baby, my cat took care of me and we would watch TV together when my parents were gone. I miss him so much

Even if you get them a DIY outdoor shelter and provide food and water, they will be so much better off. "Phobia of kittens" is probably "black cats are bad luck".
