Hi from South Central Alaska!

Hi, my name is Allison. I'm from Alaska, lived here my whole life and love it!
I came across this site researching raw diets and I thank everyone in the raw diet part of the forum. It has helped me tremendously.
Our cat of 22 years past away a couple months back and my boss literally found a litter of kittens the next day.
The litter of 4 were under a tarp on a trailer on her boyfriends property when they heard one, Cocoa, crying. Thinking Momma Kitty, as we call her, was feral, she trapped her and got her spayed to prevent more litters. Momma Kitty got to stay once we realized she was just a sweet stray cat producing feral babies.
The kittens were only about 3 or 3.5 weeks at the time, placing their date of birth around 4/23-28/14. Two boys and two girls. Momma Kitty started leaving for days at a time once they turned 6 weeks, which is when I took my Cocoa home. My brother adopted her sister, Gracie and my boss kept the bigger brother, Lokee. Tigger, the other brother was adopted by a friend of her boyfriends.
Cocoa still gets to see Gracie and Lokee often. They stay very socialized with each other and love when they get to stay the night together.

:blobyello

This was a car ride home after a long day at her sister's home
First day home at 6 weeks and then at 12 weeks

Sorry for your loss and welcome to your new fur baby! She is precious. Welcome to the TCS community. [emoji]9786[/emoji]

Welcome! What a great long life at 22!

Cocoa is so adorable as well - that spotty little belly!~

Welcome to TCS! I'm so sorry to hear about your older cat.  The kitten is so sweet--love the belly spots!

Thank you all for the welcome. I really appreciate everyone that contributes to this site. It has been a life saver, I have been racking my brain :badpc: and staying up way to late :drink: trying to figure out the raw feeding and getting caught up in all the new information and cute cat pictures :catguy:

Welcome!
I am a SE Alaskan gal myself. I am in AZ now. I have a shirt "YOU CAN TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF ALASKA. BUT NEVER ALASKA OUT OF THE GIRL". I love it.
All of my family live in Alaska. I miss them. My husband is Eskimo... cant get more Alaskan.
I have severe medical issues or we would be back... now! Lol

Are you in Anch or Fbks? I love Fbks! I talked to my dad today and he was BBQing fresh salmon when I called. Lol


Can you tell I miss home?

:lol3: Haha yes I can tell you miss it. I'm in Wasilla actually. It's been a great summer, you definitely are missing out :blobyello I'm 1/4 Cupi'k Eskimo and no I did not misspell Yupi'K so many people are always like oh, you mean Yupi'k? :lol3:

Welcome to TCS!  Cocoa is adorable.  I'm so happy that all the kittens found good homes.

My SIL is part Athabaskan and part Cupi'k. Where are the Cupi'k from? I use to work for NOAA fisheries and talked to people from all over the state. I loved the older native people. Such sweethearts. Not Wasilla? I have family in Wasilla.
My husband and kids are Inpuiak. I spell it like I once saw it but I know it has a more common spelling. His bio parents are out of Kotzebue. My husband was adopted and we do not know his bio parents.
