Ally is certainly a cutie.

Personally, I wouldn't let her outside at all, unless she is in some sort of enclosure. That is where she will be exposed to many dangers, including fleas, from which she can get many diseases and parasites. And if she gets in the habit of going out, she will be very insistent about wanting to go out more.

I know it seems cruel, but the modern domestic cat just doesn't have a niche in the natural ecology, and she will lose out every time to the man-made ecology, including cruel people, aggressive dogs, and 4,000 lb cars.

Oh, she is just gorgeous - love her eyes, and her beautiful little collar. You took a wonderful photo. I'd get her chipped somewhere along the line - the cost is usually minimal, it's a really quick little procedure, and collars can come off. My indoor cats have collars, since not everyone would realize they're house cats if they sneak out, but they're both chipped as well. Umm, did you know they have kitty strollers if you ever want to take her for a walk?
Yes, I have one, why do you ask?

She is a beauty, and has so much love in her eyes! Keeping a photo diary of her growing up is something you will always cherish! I will admit I must have a couple hundred pics of Maia growing up, and every time I look back they make me smile and laugh!

She's adorable. And about the same age as my Aya-chan. Which reminds me I needs to take some pics. They get big so fast!

what a sweetie. Please don't let her outside without a leash. It would be heartbreaking if she were to take off on you and get hit or something. I lost 3 cats to the roads many years ago and would never let mine out again....my current cats and alll the cats I've had since the 90s have been very content just being indoors, They love to bird watch and watch the world go by in the windows. I know there are differing opinions on this but I am very adamant about it.

WOW!! She is just strikingly beautiful!
I think it's wonderful that you rescued her and got her the medical care that she needed. She's lucky to have you, and I'll bet she knows it.
