Hi everyone!

 I've always loved all animals but have a special place in my heart for all felines. I own two: Citlalmina and Thelonious Punk. I adopted both within a year, Citlalmina's mom had been ran over and her kitties given away, so I got her at around 3 months old. Almost one year later Thelonious picked me as I was getting out of my car to go into work. He just started meowing at me - super malnourished, bony, weak and with a piece of his tail off - and I didn't think twice so I took him to the vet and then to my home. They are about to be 7 and 6 years old, healthy and happy, and I absolutely love them to death. Here's a few pics of them:

Mina at 3 months and then at 3 years.


Thelonious at 5months and then at 3 years.

Thelonious is the grey one :D He had a sever UTI a few years ago, I was abroad at the time and my wonderful family took such good care of him! He was touch and go for a few weeks but has since made a stupendous recovery, only needs to be on a special diet. 

I've also rescued and foster some cats and kittens over the years, my family does too. I actually joined the site recently to seek out advice on hand rearing kittens. I had done it once before but these babies are way younger and I've been struggling a bit with them. I've started another thread in the Kittens section with details of my doubts and questions.

I hope to open a pet photography practice sometime in the near future. Have been a photographer for many years, and although I haven't done much pet photography work it just seems right, so I'm now in the early planning stage of that project :D

Hope to read about y'all too! I'll leave you now with a few pics of some of my fosters:


Sandra :D

Pretty cats do you have, both your residents and also these young fosterlings!

Good luck!

Hi there and welcome! I'm new to the site also, I haven't yet made a introductory thread because I'd like to fill my post with pics like you have...but at this current point in time am too lazy to do so, haha >.>

Mina was such a cute lil' baby, who seems to have grown into a wise older kitty, haha 
 And [color= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Thelonious is a very handsome boy, he looks dashing with that bandana/scarf [/color]


Also, I admire that you're a foster mama to cats and kittens. Your photography is very beautiful and sweet. I would like to take more snaps of my cats but I don't know that my camera is up to the job, plus they always move from that adorable position whenever we get out the camera, haha :)
