She is the cutest little thing and so kind with the kids. Funny story behind adopting Lilli. A few days after we came back we went to play with the Karani family at Seacliff. This is one of the only places to play in Dar - there are no parks around for kids. It costs 3000 TZS (1,5€) and is a gated are so the kids are safe, bonus is that there is a foodcourt so we usually combine Sunday lunch with the games. Everyone is happy. Anyways back to the original story, there was a litter of the cutest little kittens at this play area. Our kids have wanted a cat awhile, but I've been hesitant because of J's allergies. The kids were mesmerized over the kittens. After a few days I just said tha hey, J has been doing super good so why not. We can always take it to Afrikka.
I've been following the amazing job that Tanzania animal welfare society does for a while now so I decided to check if they had any kittens available. Funnily enough the kittens were the exact same ones from the Seacliff playground! We went to see them and Lilli immediately connected with J. She followed after him when he left the room, and that sealed it: that would be the kitty for us.
Kids love her and she shows endless patience with them (read M, he can be kind of rough on her showing his love). I think it's a good lesson on caring other beings and learning how to treat animals - not always clear in this country.
Here some touching moments shared with the little Lilli. Taweso actually used some pics in a campaign to attract more adopter's. That gives me a warm feeling inside <3
