I have a kitten! Haven't named her, only known her for about 90 minutes.
Someone placed an ad, when I called (not sure why I did!), they told me their next door neighbors, an elderly couple, have a stray cat who comes around and they feed her. This is the 3rd litter she has had at their place. When I asked why she hasn't been spayed, they told me the couple didn't have much money. These neighbors took the kittens to help find a home for them. The neighbors don't have much themselves.
When I got there, I offered to keep in touch and possibly take the momma cat to get spayed. I don't have much in the way of money but I cannot let that poor cat keep cranking out the kittens. I will find a way.
Anyway, this kitten was there with two others. I wanted them all! I hope the other two find good homes. They told me she is 8 weeks. I wanted to ask them to wait but I knew it would do no good. They wanted homes for the kittens now. I probably shouldn't have taken one (sighs) but when you see this face, you'll understand.
Seb has an appointment to get his teeth cleaned tomorrow morning, so will take this baby in to be looked at, too. I feel my bank account shrinking already. She looks healthy, clear eyes, ears good, fur is clean. May have fleas, but Seb was just treated so he should be okay. He goes bald with fleas so have to keep him treated.
I am pretty sure they will not find a chip or a spay scar on this little one
I do hope Seb learns to love her.
I know I am rambling - don't know why I get so nervous over getting a new cat - sheesh!
Here is a photo - will post more when I have a name
