New York ( CNN ) -- The famous frisky felines who fouled up traffic on the New York City subway this summer have found a forever family . A married couple from Brooklyn Heights has adopted the four-month-old kittens , Arthur and August , who were previously being cared for at an animal foster home , according to Richard Gentles , spokesman for Animal Care & Control of NYC . Katherine and Keith Lubeley are the proud new parents , and they say the kittens are adapting to their new home pretty quickly . `` They 're adjusting to the spaciousness , '' Keith Lubeley said . `` We 've been introducing them room by room . '' According to Gentles , the kitties were sheltered for about two months before they were eligible for adoption . `` One was a little underweight , and both kittens needed to be socialized , '' he explained . The fearless felines shut down about six miles of track on two subway lines in Brooklyn after they were spotted wandering in the subway system on August 29 . The New York Police Department sent officers to the scene for crowd control as trains stopped running for about 90 minutes . According to the Animal Care & Control of NYC , Arthur , a tabby , and August , who has a solid black coat , are arguably the most famous kittens in New York City history , although not much is known about their origins . `` From what we can tell , they are brothers from the same litter , '' Keith Lubeley said . `` They seem to be good partners and they are definitely playful . '' Animal Care & Control of NYC received a lot of inquiries and applications from people to adopt the cats , Gentles told CNN . But the Lubeleys `` really impressed our adoption counselors , '' he said . `` We are very , very happy . '' CNN 's Lorenzo Ferrigno contributed to this report .
