Who am I kidding? You guys don't have to guess.
It's a little creature of the feline persuasion of course.
Here's the story: I stopped by the home of the lady (Diane) who adopted my former foster girl, Lucy, on the way home from work today. She's going out of town on Wed., and I'm going to petsit, so I needed to get her alarm code. While I was there, the plan was also to scope out the situation of a mother cat and her two feral kittens whom Diane has been feeding. Once she gets back next week, she wants to get the mom fixed and the two kittens socialized and find them a home. I'm going to help her by loaning her my traps if needed for the kittens, a playpen to keep them and point her in the right direction for low cost spay/neuter. Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, when I got there Diane informed me she had just found out about another kitten, who's likely a part of this same litter, but already socialized.
Turns out a couple of neighborhood kids found the kitten and she's been passed between several different families, but nobody wants her. She's pretty well socialized and the kids were carrying her up and down the street in a box trying to figure out what to do with her when Diane saw what was happening. Since this kitten, a little calico, is tame, we didn't just want to leave her outside and since Diane is leaving she couldn't take her in, so the kitten came home with me. She's tiny, maybe 8 weeks, and adorable. Pics coming tomorrow. So, I'm going to get her to the vet and keep her until Diane gets back, then we'll go from there.
With Georgie adopted, I figured my spare bedroom would be empty a while. Guess not!
