These Women Adopt Cats And Take Them On Adventures

Natural-Born Adventurers

It turns out Keel and Bolt were natural-born adventurers and loved every second of the trip with their new owners. “Keel purred the whole time,” said VanderRee. “Once on the trail, they seemed to be right at home.” Her photos of the trip seem to confirm how much the cats enjoyed their adventure.

One of the completely content kittens pokes out of the top of a purple backpack in the photo above. It’s smiles all around. It seems safe to say these kittens are the purr-fect hiking companions. That’s not the only adorable anecdote from their weekend adventure with the kittens.

What Sealed the Adoption

Even though Danielle Gumbley was hesitant to take on the responsibility of two kittens at first, their weekend adventure sealed the adoption. “Danielle and I go out adventuring pretty much every weekend or every other,” VanderRee explained. “It was important to us that the cats could fit in with our lifestyle.”

After kayak rides, hikes through the scenic woods, and camping under the stars, Bolt and Keel seem to be adventure tested and adventure approved. It sure beats living in a garbage can! Plus, what could be better during a cold hike than a cuddly purring kitten curled up in your jacket for some extra warmth?
