No Vacancy...One on the way!
my old cat Babykitty was born in my friend Rebeccas grandmothers home and when he was about 8 weeks he was shipped into the garage to live
(i got him only a few days after) in the summer of '98


Mikey was born in my friends Rebecca's (my kitty cat breeder) home in the May 2004...he was the last kitty left of his litter..no one wanted him.
But i did the second I held him


Stewie was born underneath a deck July 8-10th 2006. he came to me an orphan at about 2 weeks old.
He had a few litter mates and my mother took his sister in. I am not sure what his parents look like but someone was a siamese!

Lily was born in a wood pile in somebody's backyard.

I don't know where Eve was born. There was some wierdness going on with her surrender so the shelter didn't know for sure if she was a stray or an owner surrender.

My parents have had a string of cats that magically appeared out of nowhere needing a home...

I never gave any thought to the parentage of my crew. Much was found in a shelter in California. DH's SIL brought her and her brother home to his parents house. He took Much; his parents took the brother.

Lucy was born in our vet's basement when he was just a vet tech. Her mother was a feral he found.

Carly we got when she was three. The rescue group saved her from being euthanized at another shelter. I wish I knew more about her history because she had some sort of injury to her tail and has no ability to move it. We had x-rays done and found that she had also broken her back leg also. It had mended without any treatment. But she is the sweetest most loving cat we have. Someone must have treated her well sometime in her short life.

There are only two times I can see questioning about the parents. 1) is when if you are investing in a purebred cat since the papers and parents are everything or 2) when the cat is coming from a hoarding situation and could be inbred which could lead to multiple problems.

I know that Katie was born in a small town in Belgium and ended up roaming in the garden of a kind woman who took her in and was unable to locate her mother. With Gracie, Peter and Claire I know the neighborhoods they were born in and even something of their parentage because they were feral kittens trapped along with their mama's who were fixed then released.

It's nice to know something of where they came from, but not really necessary. I'd love them just the same.

I'm not psychic,I just see through people
All my cats except Meir were born on a railway embankment,exactly where on the embankment I don't know because it's inaccessible and a mile down leads onto derelict overgrown open feilds, but I suspect under one of the bridges
,Meir I found as a stray so I've no Idea where he was born.

Oh!!except Phoebe,she was born in a house and then left to fend for herself with her mum and brother in a shed

The only one we know for sure was Boomer who was the runt of the litter of a neighbour's cat, Scully came from a 'free to a good home' box originally but they have no idea who the people are. Bumper and Magnum were both strays so we have no idea where they are from

I know nothing of Easy's parentage or when or where she was born. I dont even know if her baby's were inbreeding since she came to me all alone and pregnant. But I do know that Tino, Kiko, Laura, Ducky and Tuffy (RB) were born in my bedroom.

I know who Lily's parents are 1 feral patched tabby and a stray siamese. She was born here in K.C. Annie Rose was born in Sugar Creek MO and I have met both of her parents. Mom was Seal point Snowshoe and Dad was Blue Point Snowshoe. Kitten was born in Independence MO. Her mom was a feral siamese mix. Whos Dad was a siamese that was allowed to roam and whos mom was a feral black cat. Nazumi's mom was a brown spotted Bengal and dad was some DSH. He was born in Oklahoma.

Radar is a crossbreed but I met both his parents, have been to the house where he was born, and I know that his birthday is 11th May.

My parrot is a different matter however, I was his 5th home in the first 15 weeks of his life. I don't know where he was hatched, but I would love just the slightest chance of finding out, if only to let his breeder know that he had a forever home with me and that I love him

I have no idea where either of mine were born. It would be nice to know, but it's not important to me.

Well I know Peewee was born somewhere local.. I assume at a house... and I only know that because when he and his brother were left in the cage outside the shelter in the middle of the night, the person who left them there stuck index cards to them tell their birthdate and what shots they had.

The rest... I assume on the streets, but really don't know.

And my NY ferals that still live in my mom's backyard (not in my sig...) were born under her shed by a neighborhood stray we tried to trap and spay... we never were successful with that.

I believe Sash was born on a farm. I found him living outside a diner with many other cats, which were coming over for food from the farm/barn that sits right behind the diner. I'm just guessing that's where he came from along with his sister, my angel Lucki.

Most of ours are related somehow, so they were born in/around our old house. Rogue was from somewhere on Lake Norman, Dave rescued her and her siblings when they were babies. Rosebud is her niece; Smoke, Twoface and Sandy are her kids. Domino was a stray that ran in our house the first day we were able to get Domino's pizza delivered there. Growlie was about two weeks old when we found her in the yard, wet and starving. Everyone else is related as babies of a feral mom in the old neighborhood.

Ansel came from a town by the name of Arnaudville. He was a Christmas gift from a friend. I got him at about 3 months old. Zan showed up at my house.....sort of. I was walking into my garage and heard what I thought was a tiny, kitty meow. I looked across the fence in the neighbor's yard and there she was....about 4 months old or so. Bella was born under my house.

Chloe was a feral that was captured with her mom and brothers in the rescuer's yard outside of San Diego, CA. Iris was part of a rescued litter from Los Angeles, CA. That's all I know, but it doesn't matter to me! We love these girls!

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Rocket is a pure bred that we got from a breeder, Twig we got from DH's cousin and Isis and Luna came from the street. So I guess I can say yes I do know where my cats came from sort of. Even if I had no idea (which I really don't with Isis and Luna) I would love them anyway.
