The oyster-shell bed we bought when we first brough Lazlo inside has been great for all the small kitties when they first join us. We have a snuggle kitty for her, and she loves it!

Kitten needs some Board Magic

This is AFTER we cleaned her up:
A content little kitty. She's so sweet! She needs a home, and she is going to make a GREAT pet! We both wish we could keep her, but we just can't have 5 cats in a 37 X 8 foot motorhome!
Hunting the cottonball:
OMG she is just the cutest little baby!! how could anyone hurt her! Awwww, I sure hope she gets a great home with lots and lots of love. I would take her but we are already on overload and will hopefully be getting the black kitty with the white spot from my vets office. If for some reason we can't get that black kitty, I will talk hubby into letting me adopt her if she doesn't find a home by then

Oh my, she is a cutie! She is also going to be a small kitty. I love her face, even though it is dirty.
Oh my she is such a little cutie!!!!
How wonderful of you and Gary to do so much for her. I hope a great home is found for her.
You two are

if I had a house and more time on my hands I would take her.. NJ isn't that far from me.. Unfortunately indoor animals are not allowed where i live right now
But she is soo precious.. I'm so glad she's OK now.. You are such an angel for helping her out :angel2:
She is SUCH a sweetie! And she does have a sweet face, doesn't she? About her size...we're a little worried she suffered developmentally. Would that account for it? Or would that really be a genetic thing? Because she's smart, so it seems like her brain development was there... I don't think she suffered long in a malnourished condition. She catches on quick, and after just a few hours of play with her, she got a lot more co-ordinated about following and actually pouncing on stuff.
And Gary's being such a good kitty-mommy, LOL! He picks her up by the scruff to where he cleans her, and he cleans her after she eats and after she goes to the bathroom. And once she's clean, he schnuzzles all over her cheeks and face and back of neck. She's smiling now!!! She doesn't even cry after we feed her, and she doesn't cry when she's alone.

Well, I don't know if this is going to happen or not, but....
Gary and I were talking about calling a Real Estate agent tomorrow to look into renting a house around here! We don't want to buy property around here, and we don't have the money for a downpayment even if we did want to buy.... but we can rent - we spend more than you'd imagine on rent for the RV Park as it is.
We can't really travel in the RV for work like we used to... things have changed a lot for us since 9/11, so we really have to be near enough to the city to get in once or twice a week (New York City)... and though we both love the RV, it sure wouldn't hurt to have more room, LOL!
Cross your fingers for me, please? If we can find something that's not too far off from what we pay now, we'll drive the RV to sit on our rental property!
...then we can keep Mae!
Probably just dreamin' .... but hey - you never know!

You and Gary are such a awesome people with such great hearts!
Bless you for all that you two do with those kitties! I do hope that you get to keep lil Mae...she'd make a great addition to your family!

If you can't rent a house maybe get a larger RV? At least you will have more room!
ooOOooO I'm sending GOOOOOOD vibes for the house hunting. I dunno how you guys do it, there is no way I'd be able to give her up. She's too cute, and she looks like she is totally in love with you guys.
Mae is a complete doll. I won't cry if you post more pictures I promise.

Well - we left messages with several Real Estate agencies, anyway.
Mae is SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've never had a kitten this young, let alone been responsible for one. Gary and I are completely in love with her, even as I post her story on Petfinder, getting it up on Pets911, contacted the local people we're hooked in with, and printed out lots of posters....
Shelly FINALLY licked her today! He has been fascinated with this little ball of fur since she came in, but apart from letting her play with his tail, he'd generally jump away if she came running at him.
Spooky got within about a foot of her, and no longer is so scared of her that she can't be in the same room with her.
Tuxedo still hisses at her, but she doesn't seem to mind too much.
Lazlo went into the bathroom to sniff at her while she was asleep, and has been following her around a bit. They drank some water together.
We changed the bathroom set up. We got rid of the crate altogether, and put blankets on the shower-floor bottom. Litter-box on one side, oyster-shell bed with snuggle kitty in it on the other, and a bowl of water. We leave the shower door open all the time now. (Of course, we have to undo it all once a day
). We also leave the bathroom door open all the time now - except when we have to leave the house.
We put a tube (a thick cardboard tube purchased at Home Depot) from the bed to the floor, and put a strip of carpet up through it - so now she can get up and down off the bed whenever she wants.
We were so happy the first time she ran down the tube off the bed, scampered into the bathroom, used her litterbox, drank water, crawled into the oyster shell bed and fell asleep on her snuggle kitty.
Here's the bathroom setup (except when we're showering
)
