We have a new addition! She was literally saved from Death Row by Tybalt this week.

We've named her Phoenix, which seemed appropriate given her circumstances.
She's about a year old and was turned in as a stray. They thought she was pregnant, but it turned out she had pyometra and an emergency operation was done to save her life. Nevertheless, since the shelter is sooo overcrowded, she was going to be put down on Tuesday. After all that she'd gone through, we couldn't bear to see that happen.

She's a brown marbled tabby with white, and has the most intense emerald green eyes I've ever seen. She's very vocal and also very happy to be home here with us. She's got a mild URI right now, so she's isolated from the other kitties and on Clavamox for a week. She gives loads of kisses and head bumps. We are very, very lucky to have her in our lives!

She and the other kitties have been crying at each other through the door. I can't wait til they can meet face to face, once she's feeling better!

She is an absolute sweetheart. So very affectionate, and has the cutest trilling meow. Sounds like she is trying to break into song!

She desperately wants to be out with the other cats. I am pretty sure from her behavior that she has been around other cats before this. She did make a brief escape tonight and saw Jules, and let out a LOUD trill of pleasure and some mega purrs! She raced towards him, and poor Jules went running BACKWARDS to get away from her!
She followed him to the couch and he jumped up, she looked up at him and went prrt-prrt-prrt! Then I grabbed her and put her back in the computer room LOL.

Movin' on up!
She's pretty. I know how you and Tybalt feel. That's why the Humane Society is off-limits to me.

Thanks, everyone!!! She is just a sweetheart! Right now she is lounging on the windowsill looking out at the squirrels in the yard.

Val, AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!

PS I was working on the shelter's Petfinder page this AM. Pics should be up soon, it evidently takes them a little while to load them into their system. I will be adding more over the weekend, some pups too!
