Here is Ally at now 9-10 weeks, a month after finding her.



I'm amazed at how her eyes have healed. When I first found her she had a bad eye infection in both eyes and corneal scarring on the right eye in the photo. 12 hours or so after finding her she couldn't open either eye as they were both covered in pus and she went off to the emergency vet. Now, it's almost 100% healed. It's amazing how resilient she is. If I could heal like she does, how great that would be. lol

I got her a tag printed up just in case. She has started to become curious about the outside and when I go outside she follows and eventually starts wandering around. Just in case she gets out of sight, I had a tag printed up with her name and my cell phone number (edited out of the photo) for safety. The collar is mainly for the bell so I can hear if she's in a room or not (it makes finding her easier when she plays hide and seek).

Edited to add: I forgot to mention, this photo was taken today (Feb 3, 2009) at about 8 AM on my bed. She woke me up at 4:30 AM to tell me she wanted to play. Fortunately, I had gone to sleep early last night so it wasn't a problem. We played... then she had some breakfast... then we watched TV.... and then when the sun was nice and up I decided to take a picture to keep pics of her growing up.

Aww, she is a cutie!


While she is young it would be a good time to get her used to a harness and leash so you can go out together. Those 4 little legs can run pretty fast!

Uuuuhhhhhh!!!!
(passing out from cuteness overload)

What a little dolly!
Beautiful eyes, too! So glad that she's healed up. Harness training would be a good idea, then she could go bye-bye with you!

She is so cute!!! The collar is very pretty. I didn't know little kittens wanted to go out, mine runs away at the sight of an open door and when I take him outside for a second he digs his nails into me...Maybe it's different if they are born outside.

She has shown mixed feelings over the outdoors over the last month.

At first she seemed curious, looking through the glass doors..... then she was too scared (I think she regurgitated some bad memories of being abandoned out there).... all of a sudden she's shown interest again.

You are doing a wonderful job with sweet Ally.

She is a little beauty.


Along with her ID tag, it is useful to have a microchip inserted by her vet.
It can make all the difference in the world if she becomes lost.
A kitty can slip out of a collar but the microchip should be permanent.

Be sure to update photos as Ally grows.
