I'm 57, have been rescuing cats, dogs and horses for over 20 years. Last year my mother rolled her car over, I had told her sooo many times not to drive after dark! She is in pretty good shape, but I had to become her 24/7 caregiver.
I have 14 kitties, that I will have to use quite a few posts to introduce!
Tweety Bird is on my lap right now, so I should start with her!

I have got to dig through my multiple files to be precise but, it's been around 10 years since finding Bird a a convenience store. I had made a wrong turn, coming home from an auction and stopped to get
directions. This darling kitten kept winding around my ankles. I asked about her, to find out she had been hanging around for days. The clerk was giving her food, but had no idea where she came from. I tried to pick her up and she flew away, hence the name Tweety Bird. I could pet her with one hand easily, but reach with two and she ran.
I finally managed to catch her and get her, with me, into the car. Drove the rest of the way home. I live in southern Kansas, picked her up in northern Oklahoma. Called home and had Mom ready with a carrier. Carefully opened the window, just far enough to quickly get the carrier in. The rest is history!
It took years before I could pick her up easily, only a couple that she will jump into my lap. Her behavior looks too much like she had been abused and it has taken this long to really trust.

Sometimes when new members try to post pictures they'll get help up in our spam filter. Not to worry, Tweety Bird should be visible to all now! So nice that you were able to rescue her and give her a good home.
