Jace and Jackie haven't always had an easy life, but they've always had each other.

The two kittens and their other siblings lost their mother as newborns, and for a while, they all had to fight to survive.

Though they were in excellent hands, having been rescued by the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, their young age meant that they needed round the clock care in order to live, grow, and thrive.

Of all the kittens, Jace and Jackie were the ones who needed the most help. The two nearly identical kittens were very small and it was soon clear that they needed special care and attention.
