Too funny @ 50s.

So, this is a bit off-topic, but there's a buy/sell/free stuff FB page in my community. There's also (horrific) reports of a lot of missing cats and dogs and a dog fighting ring reported in the next small down up the road (about 10 miles away). So, I see "free kitten, get it out of here today, no questions asked", I had to rescue it. Apparently, these people had a boarder who left and didn't take his kitten. These were nice enough people, just no clue about what can happen when you give a kitten away "free with no questions asked". So, we took it to the Kitten Inn, a wonderful rescue group here that takes unwanted kittens and pregnant cats. They took this little guy in and he crawled into one of the cubby holes on a cat pole and claimed his territory. He'll go to the vet for a check tomorrow, along with getting neutered, de-fleaed, wormed, vaccinations, etc. Then he'll go to foster care for a couple of weeks to get him more used to people. He's not feral, just terrified and shy. Then he'll get a home with people who are questioned and have to pay for him (basically to recoup the cost of vet care, but costly enough to help make sure they don't end up as dog bait).

Anyway, while we were there, my husband immediately made a friend at the Kitten Inn. This little guy just crawled all over him. And no, we didn't bring it home...we already have 6! Hopefully this picture and story will make you smile. Picture doesn't do things justice; this is a very little kitty (about 6 weeks old) who looks bigger because of lens distortion. Note size of it's pay versus DH's fingernail and it will give you an idea.

Kiwicat-Great story! I'm glad you got him off to a better start.

GG27- Oh your calico cat Victoria Louise is just beautiful, no wonder you miss her.

Kiwi - so lucky for that kitten that you and your hubby were there.

Frida - beautiful.

Victoria-Louise - RIP beautiful cat.

(I have more than 20 cats waiting for me (hopefully I get there!))

I LOVE the Trailer one!

I don't know the real story behind this picture, but it is beautiful..... and the way we feel sometimes...

Feelingfeline, With 20 kitties waiting for you, it certainly will be heaven!

Chevyboy, Lacee Jayne was a beauty for sure.

Usually this thread makes me laugh when I come here in the morning. Today I have only tears, but they are good tears. I'm going to wander out to see Miss VL, she is buried on our property & I quite often go out & tell her how much I miss her. Her marker is a little cast iron fence, befitting the queen that she thought she was. Thanks everybody. -GG

Aww...Lacee was so beautiful. And it does hurt for a long time when we lose our dear furry friends.

Hugs to all,

Terre

I still miss my Mocca who died 3 years ago. She was a tortie like GG's only with short hair. We have fostered for the last couple of years and recently adopted one of our fosters. He's totally different. Black, athletic, not really cuddly, but a real character.
