Kitten Rescue.

Wednesday my friend Karen knocked on our back door. She said there was a stray kitten under her porch and she did not know what to do, as it seemed wild and scared. She said I am the "cat person" in her life... so she called on me. Long story short, I pulled a Cat Whisperer, and lickety-split, here's Phoebe. As badly as we both wanted to keep her, due to her super sweetness, unusual toes, and Maine Coon mix... alas, we could not keep her. She has 6 toes on her front feet and 5 toes on her back feet. Normally cats only have 5 and 4, respectively. She is considered a polydactyl or Hemingway cat, which is very very interesting. I enjoyed examining her toes! Brandon and I took her to the local shelter, but before we did we prayed over her for her to find a good home, and quickly. Again, long story short, the woman at the shelter turned out to be a childhood playmate of mine, whom I had not seen in 25 (yes, I said 25) years!!! She took the kitten and paid the adoption fee forward for another cat! Brandon and I have decided to volunteer at the shelter at least a couple Saturdays a month... We went yesterday. I nursed itty bitty kitties... with a bottle, of course. =] Brandon helped walk dogs and bring dogs into the kennel; one really scared little guy peed on him! What a way to be initiated! There was a HUGE cat... I call him Zeus, 'cause I don't know his name... but he's really like the Shaqueal O'Neil of cats.. .really tall... He is 2 yrs old, was someone's pet, has been neutered... and is a sweetheart... I am going to keep my eye on him... Hopefully put up some pics of him... I can't stop thinking of him, you know how that is! Anyway... All is well here... just busy! Love to all!
