Ok, it's kind of a long story. Last summer I was wanting a kitten for quite awhile... my boyfriend kept telling me we'd find a kitten but it was several months before we did. We were driving home and saw a "free kitten" sign. We stopped and that's where I found my Oliver Felix. He was a tiny black and white thing, at 8 weeks old he barely fit in the palm of my hand. He had a bent foot due to a birth defect and a crooked tail. He was my baby. In October of last year we lost Oliver Felix, he was anemic and had megaesophagus and I took him to the wrong vet who screwed up and we lost our baby.
Well, we were out today and saw that "free kitten" sign at the same house. We stopped today... "just to look"... and found that the cats had bred again and they had another litter with two left. These kittens were very healthy, with no birth defects... but they were going to be taken to the pound. So my boyfriend suggested we rescue one (the other one was spoken for). He is at least half brother but probably full brother to my Oliver Felix. He is a grey/black/white tabby. Yes, I know I'm crazy with two litters on the way... but all of Sasha's and Missy's kittens have excellent homes lined up for them, so we won't be overrun (although we are keeping one of Sasha's). I can't say no to any animal in need but especially knowing that it was my beloved Oliver Felix's brother, I just had to save him.
I'll get pictures later, and I have to come up with a name!
