If you needed a reason to smile today, I’ve got you covered. This week, the team at SEA LIFE at Mall of America opened their doors a little early for a very special group of visitors: 26 tiny kittens from the Twin Cities rescue organization Bitty Kitty Brigade.
These kittens (all just 6–8 weeks old!) got the field trip of a lifetime, scampering through the aquarium before it opened to the public. They watched sharks glide by, batted at jellyfish tanks, and met some very curious stingrays — and yes, it’s exactly as adorable as it sounds.
This is actually the fifth year Bitty Kitty Brigade has brought their kittens for an aquarium adventure in celebration of Happy Cat Month, which was created by the CATalyst Council to promote feline health and happiness.
If you haven’t heard of Bitty Kitty Brigade, they’re an incredible foster-based, no-kill rescue right here in the Twin Cities. They specialize in caring for orphaned neonatal kittens — bottle feeding, weaning, and providing all the vet care needed until these kittens are ready for adoption.
Want to see the cuteness for yourself — or maybe even adopt a kitten of your own? You can learn more about adopting, fostering, or donating at bittykittybrigade.org.
Trust me, even if you’re not a “cat person,” watching a group of kittens explore an aquarium might just melt your heart.
