Here's the new little tortie rescue kitten!



I'm guessing 8-9 weeks, the vet agrees she was dumped because she is so used to human touch, and is very healthy...Although she's got her evil eye going here, she is very sweet and she cannot get enough cuddling. The other cats are ignoring her. I've kept her in the bathroom up until this weekend, and she ran around and hid most of the weekend, but this morning was much better. Got her her first set of shots when I took India in on Thursday. Need to find her a home, someone who knows she may be a little nervous because of having been dumped. She really is a sweetie!

so grateful there are ones like you that can and do foster all these kitties and find good homes for them.

It is amazing work that you do ... and, Flaxbee comes to mind also.



Honestly, If I -could- I -would-

I would not know it was my sink without having to clean out the cat hair daily So sweet. Thank goodness she has you to care for her until she finds a home.

right now she runs from my other cats, but is starting not to be so scared, which is good.

I adopted her from the local humane society when I would help out with weekend adoptions. I moved back to Florida briefly and stayed with an ex-boyfriend. He fell in love with her and wanted to keep her so she had a happy life in a restaurant and on a houseboat in back of it. I can't have a cat now because my Chihuahua does not like them.

I once found a hungry kitten, stealing food, and very friendly.
I put up notices for "FOUND KITTEN" but nobody claimed ever him, so I kept him.

and where the moms and kittens hide below in tunnels...I heard her before I saw her, and since ferals are very quiet, I figureed she might be lost, when I trapped she went into one and since I could hold and hug her right away, she was dumped, not feral...she was at the site for a week and a half before I nabbed her!

though my daughter saw a kitten that was an exact duplicate of that one.

BTW, did you mangle the toothpaste tube after game #3 in the world series??

Hope she gets a good home. Mine was also dumped...how people can do that to a defenseless creature I'll never understand.
