Angel looks just like her name!
Is she shy around the camera?

Angel is a sweetie pie. I love Gizmo's tail.

This is Splash. He is my frustrating cat. He wants to be loved so much, but is still so afraid to trust. The last picture shows what he looked like this past August about 4 weeks after Tuck first brought him home. Tuck is one of my feral born cats that still gets to run around the yard from time to time. One day he went into the woods on my property and came out with Splash in tow. He had a choking tight flea collar on and was a walking skeleton. I think he probably had a fatty liver as it took forever for the diarrhea to clear up and the vet could find no sign of infection. Splash has very obviously been hit in the past. He is scared to death of an open hand as though he has been slapped. If your voice gets even just a little loud he runs for cover. He has come a long way and just last month started letting me hold him in my lap to brush him, wash his face, etc.

The little cat peering around him in one picture is Domino. Domino and Blaze were dumped on my property this December. Slpash immediately adopted them and took care of them like he was their mother. They remain a tight little trio.

that makes me want to cry. i'm so glad splash has found a loving, safe home with you. it sounds like he's made a lot of progress in just a month.

Oh, yay! I can never get over how handsome Ziv is, so I love to show him off. At some point, I'll have to get a good close up of the beautiful markings on his face. You can sort of see them in the first picture--the lines trailing from the corners of his eyes. Well, here he is posing:



And sleeping:



In that picture, you can sort of see one of my favorite features. On his chin (and in a few other places), his white fur looks "smudged" with the faintest bit of orange--as if someone painted him and was a little messy in the process.

rcs2, Splash is SO handsome. I can't wait to see more beautiful orange and ginger cats.

Ziv is quite the handsome man. He reminds me of Splash in general color pattern. Splash also has smushes of color around his mouth.

All such beautiful kitties!!!

Here's Mirah. She's 6 days old today, but this pic was taken at 4 days old. I couldn't believe I got a ginger female!




I love this picture of her daddy, Billy. He looks so cute in it!



He looks so fat and lazy in this picture!




This pictures really shows his color and markings... nevermind the question mark.




This one is my FAVORITE!



This is a good one.



Lazy BUM!




This is Billy, and CJ. They are littermates. I don't consider them littermates, though, because they have two littermates! P.S.




I'll get some pictures of Mirah that better show her color. She's such a cutie!

Aren't solid ginger or orange females rather rare? She should grow to a beautiful cat. Her father is quite handsome.

Yes, they are very rare. 90% of all solid orange cats are male. So, it's very rare to get a female. I was so excited when I found out she was a girl!

And, thank you!

Here's some that shows Mirah's colors better. You can really see her here. In a few, she is with her brother, AL.





Here's a couple more of Billy!
I love this one!


Pretty good pic here!

Angel is camera shy and shy in general. He found me when he was wandering around homeless with an infected eye and fleas. He has a very timid personality (despite his very loud meow).

This sounds just like Angel. He found me in January. I think whoever abandoned him abused him before that. I can brush him now but he won't sit on my lap and he won't play unless catnip is involved. He is very skittish and afraid most of the time. I hope that eventually he will feel more comfortable because I'm doing everything I can think of to spoil him rotten.

Splash is a breathtakingly beautiful cat. God bless you for saving him. I hope to see more pics.

DanceMuse, one of my best friends is called Ziv - he's a human kind of friend though
