I'm a brand new cat lady! I'm also somewhat computer illiterate, but please have patience I can learn!
In June I adopted Snowball (aka Spastic Kitty)from outside. As a kitten he used to live across the street, but he grew up & the family lost interest in taking care of him. Then my neighbor took him in, but during the winter tied him outside to their open porch because he always meowed and then just let him run loose. My husband & I began feeding him as soon as the people across the street showed that they couldn't be bothered. I was concerned about adopting him as we have two big dogs & I'm allergic to cats.
When I saw him in the summer with scratches on his nose from getting in fights, thin & dirty I had had enough. The dogs knew Snowball from looking through the door at each other and kleenix is cheap so I went to my neighbor and suggested that maybe I could adopt him. She agreed.
A trip to the vet (neuter & shots)a week of slow introductions and voila we have a new (little man) in our family. And now that he's clean he's a handsome fella.
In August we picked up Bluebell (Boo) from our city pound. She's a blue lynx point Javanese. She has fit in perfectly to our little family and I don't regret adopting either one of them at all.
I now have 2 dogs (1 stray 1 owner released) 2 birds (SPCA) and my little feline buddies.
I don't have a digital camera (working on that)so unfortunately can't show pictures.
Love the site. From reading through some of the forms I see a lot of caring people out there.
