Yes, she is a tiny thing I don't know if that is dirt actually (on her hocks) - she has an yellowish tail, and I think the paws might be the same thing.

They are hard to give up.
It will be hard for you when it comes to giving her up.
Oh, I know - I keep telling myself everyday that she is just a foster, but I know it's going to be hard... Specially because a big part of socializing her is to give her lots of TLC, time, and attention... Hard not to get attached with her!

OK, so I know I'm paranoid about worms (but you can tell from my other post why!), but just FYI, Revolution didn't work for Billy's round worm. (...and Advantage kills fleas and ticks, not internal parasites). ...and I'll leave it at that.

I bet you're going to have some amazing "before" and "after" pics!



Laurie
Lorie: Besides Revolution, she has been dewormed with Strongid and Drontal - I am pretty sure she is going to be fine... The one on advantage is Bugsy, who is allergic to Revolution.

Now to the updates:
She is still very skittish with me, but only when I do sudden movements, like getting up, and such. Once I seat down, or start walking steadily, she is all over me for petting.
She is eating really well, using the boxes, etc. Since Sunday, she has already gained 1.4lbs, and this was until Friday! 1.4lbs in 6 days! Poor thing, she needs it! She is eating Nutro Max Kitten, and Mulligan's Stew wet with added Nutri Um, a high calorie nutrition supplement.
She is completely at easy in the house already. Today she spent a long time playing chase and hide and seek with Lucky!
Bugsy doesn't get too close, but is not hissing anymore. They don't play, but Bugsy is no longer stressed out.
I think this kitty is not 2yr old, as the shelter documents says... She has a lot of kitten personality... Ball of energy, playful, curious, NOT laid back at all! Very very sweet this girl is... I hope she is happy in here also!

She is thin as a rail. Hopefully she gains weight well, but not too fast. Sounds like she's settling in well at least. Often, it takes a month or more for them to warm up the the people when they aren't so sure of humans, hopefully she warms up quicker than that.

y'know, my Firefox is still like that - & she's 2 years old [been inside for most of that, too]. i think some cats are just like that.
