Well, to spread a little cheer:
After having to give up the kitten I took in (for a month, gave him the name Boots), he was picked up by my girlfriend's parents. They also took a second kitten he had bonded with, a grey tabby by the name of Apple. Apparently if you have an energetic kitten, getting a second one is a good idea: they'll amuse each other and two kittens aren't much different than one when it comes to raising them.
Here's the two of them at the shelter before we brought them home.
Here they are playing while they were briefly at my place. Or rather, Apple is trying to get Boots to play
Edit: Looks can be deceiving. These little guys either run around like crazy or sleep. It's hilarious. Boots is also much bigger now (these pics are about 4 weeks old). Apple is still smaller.
