Why are they called the 30 Rock Kittens?

I had seen a picture of a cat on the internet whose name was Liz Lemon, after Tina Fey's character on 30 Rock, so that gave me the idea to name my foster kittens after 30 Rock characters. It seemed appropriate, too (this was before Tracy Morgan's controversial anti-gay rant), since there are two female kittens (Liz and Jenna) and three male kittens (Kenneth, Jack, and Tracy). Liz is actually the runt and had lots of trouble eating and keeping clean at the beginning, though she has plenty of energy now and is catching up to the others in all aspects.

The 30 Rock Kittens will be up for adoption!


I am currently taking care of five foster kittens that are just about big enough to be spayed and neutered. They've been with me since they were five weeks old, when someone dropped them off at Animal Care and Control (the city shelter) where they were put on the euthanasia list because they were too young to be adopted. A friend of a friend contacted me on Facebook and asked if I could foster them so they wouldn't be put down. I couldn't refuse to save their lives so I brought them home the next day.
Now it is time for them to find permanent homes. I am hoping social networking helps in the adoption process, just like it did in fostering.
