Let's See Everyone's Shelter Kitties!

Poptart when he first came into my care.. at 4 weeks old.. one of my first foster babies. That was about.. June.. ealry june.. now he is a year and a half.. weighing in at a whopping 16 lbs. And was under a pound when we first got him.

Poptart now.


Gordto is Poptarts brother.. they were brought in at the same time. He was a tiny little guy. He was adopted at 8 week old but returned shortly after. And I couldn't be happier! he is now 14 lbs, and my pudgy little babe. (I can't find the pic of him when he was 4 weeks old. )


Gordito now, with his two adoptive brothers.

Bless all your hearts for taking these babies into your loving homes

Here's my baby Limerick!!!

A few days after I got him. He loved to walk to the keyboard, so Jon desided to teach him to type.


He's a huge WVU fan too


Here he is onmy dresser. I don't know how he got up there.

Such beautiful (and lucky) babies, everyone!!

Here are mine:


Joshua I adopted in February 2005 at the Humane Society. His previous owner had a whole bunch of stray cats - all unneutered males - and brought them all to the Humane Society.
Poor Joshua did not do well at the shelter. While most other cats would greet visitors with meows, rubbing agains the cage, etc. Joshua just stayed in the back of his cage looking sad. At first I thought he just didn't like people but then I opened his cage to pet him and he turned on his back for a tummy rub. How could I leave him there after that?
He turned out to be a very sweet and happy kitty... but still insecure and suffers from separation anxiety.

Kinah I got in June to keep Joshua company. She was 6 months old and came to the shelter as a stray. She just seemed so happy when I picked her up. She was never scared of me.
Later, I discovered that she is very scared of strangers. I guess she had just decided from the start that I wasn't a stranger
Her and Joshua just loved each other from the start and Kinah can never get enough snuggling, kisses and hugs. Such a sweety!

Pandora is my shelter kitty. I met her foster mommy when I was at the shelter and she told me Pandora was found outside and was very tiny and needed lots of extra TLC. It paid off because she is just too sweet! She was only 8 weeks when I got her, but now she's 6 months. She's a very tiny kitty for her age, but that's a good thing because she likes to sleep on my head at night and walk across hubby's face in the morning! She is a doll!!!

How old is she now?

We got Tigger almost 2 years ago from a no-kill shelter when she was 14 - no one else wanted such an old kitty.

Her owner had died and had 10 cats. Tigger was tired of the 10 cat scene!

You're kitties are all sooo cute! I love the Poptart baby pic. Are Orion and Nacho brothers? They look so much alike!

Sophie Grace (formerly Tootsie) was adopted from Waggin' Tails Animal Shelter. We had just lost Sunni and I couldn't bear the silence of the house without a cat in it. This is Sophie the day we brought her home. She was 8 weeks old:



And this is Sophie now, at 6 months:

We adpoted our babies from the Winnebago County Animal Shelter in July 05



Lombardi and Jaiden now at 5 months

Lombardi's eye look absolutely GORGEOUS in the baby picture! So cute! All the baby pics are adorable, love the ones of Sophie Grace and the one of Jaiden

Mine aren't from the shelter they are from the street-

Stinky.

My family adopted Stinky from our local animal shelter at 1 1/2 years old. In front of the animal hospital was a dumpster, which Stinky lived inside during his first weeks as a kitten, until he was old enough to climb out. Then he would roam around looking for some food. The vet staff would feed him and a few other kitties. One spring day, the hospital doors were left open, and Stinky came walking in, so instantly they fell in love with him. They had him next to some kittens with there mother, but since he was not related to them he was in a cage all by himself. He got his name because he smelt, but also because they said he loved to smell different things, so thats why he got his name. At the time I was in the vet office with Flash, and I actually took her over to him because I felt bad that alot of black and white cats dont find homes. Months pass and someone adopted Stinky. But unfortunetly Stinky wasnt neutered, and the older male cat in the house would fight and beat up Stinky, so he was returned, but now to our shelter, not the animal hospital. He sat in his cage alone until he was an adult, and he was labeled as having a behavioral problem, biting aggresion. Probably because his whole kittenhood was spent alone in a cage, then the only cat he saw taught him to fight and act aggressive. Then my mom got a job at the animal shelter, and each day she would pass and Stinky would reach his paw out to her. We found this outand decided to adopt him, because he was due to be put down within a few days. We brought him home but all he would do is beat my other cat up, for 3 days she would not eat or use the litterbox. Then he bit her stomach and got into a major fight with her, she got cut and she sliced Stinky's nose. If this did not get better we would have had to bring him back. After a few months they got used to eachother and ocassioanlly play, so it worked out. It turns out Stinky is super-hyper, and gallops like a horse! He loves to play and we are happy we adopted him.

Here is Molly when we first got her from our local Cats Protection League:

When poptart came to me he was so sick.. I didn't think he would make it. He was on antibiotics almost all the time till he was about 6 months old.

Yes Nacho and Orion are brothers as well.. they used to belong to my brother.. but he couldnt' afford them anymroe so we took them in

Here's our goofy girl, Iris. (So named because she has two different colored eyes.) She and her siblings were in a high-kill animal shelter in Los Angeles. A local rescue group scooped them up and brought them down to San Diego, where we met them. I don't know what their circumstances were previous to us meeting them, but Iris was very underweight, has a bunch of cricks in her tail (don't know if it's genetic or if it's been broken in a few spots), is very needy, tends to bully to make sure she gets her fair share and more of food and attention, and is our sweet-not-so-smart-but-precious little girl.

As a too-skinny-kitten:


Now, at a healthier weight...though she'll probably always be on the small side.

Jack Daniels Joe Mason:


He was found wandering the streets and taken to a shelter before I adopted him.

Clover.

Brave and mighty hunter vs. crappy camera.
