Luvbug was a stray and he was four years old. Now six.
Lil' Jag was 14 weeks old when we found her as a stray. She just turned 2 years old.

Kandie was 11 weeks and one day ... that was 18 years ago ...

Zoey was told to be 2-3 years ( I wanted an adult but not another senior) she was 7-9 months

Dapple ( will have name change ) is still at the store ( they give space to the rescue ) ... is said to be about 5 month s but I suspect she is likely about 8-10 months//

Ginger was estimated at 11, he is now nearly 15
Pebbles was 10
Molly was 13

Out of the RB kitties, only one has been under the age of 10.

Sorry, I actually made a mistake - I forgot that Bobby was not yet a year when we got him. I recorded the others correctly. (He would have been 9 months old).

Sláine was about 8 weeks old, Slayer was 9 weeks old (Sláine was abandoned at about 6 weeks and I know that Slayer was seperated from her mother early, but I'm not clear on why.

Molly was about about 9 years old.

Renfield and Rochester- 8 weeks.
Loomis was 4½ months old- got him when R&R were 4½ months old, so I wanted a similar aged addition.

Just guessing on some....
Yeller - 8 years - my guesstimate
Blondie - 7 years - vet guesstimate
Nugent - 3 years - vet guesstimate
Monique - 2 years - vet guesstimate
Magic - 2 years - vet guesstimate
Little Bit - 7 months - my guesstimate
Buddy - 6 months
Rocky - 5 months
Cutie Pie - 5 months
Stinker - 5 months - my guesstimate
Boo-Boo - 10 weeks
Sassy - 6 weeks


Buddy, Cutie Pie and Rocky were born to feral moms here and ended up moving in the house.
Yeller, Blondie, Nugent, Little Bit and Stinker were ferals/strays that just ended up here.
Magic were both adopted from a rescuer and Boo-Boo and Sassy I just picked up from the County Animal Pound last Friday the 4th.

Geez, when I look at the list it kinda looks like a lot.

Willow - 6 weeks from a backyard breeder (I know better now)
Buffy - 4 weeks, was orphaned and at the vet hospital (mom and siblings died and she was the lone survivor)
Molly - 4-5 months (not sure how old she was, but it was somewhere in that range. Possibly 5.5 months). Found her stranded in a tree and slightly underweight, and she'd been in the tree for 5 hours (asked around). Put up flyers but nobody called for her

Stumpy was about 10 months, and Lily was about 12 weeks.

The last two kitties before that were about 10 years old, and about 4 years old. Both lots of ages certainly have their benefits. The older kitties were more relaxed, and snuggly lap cats, whereas the younger cats are mad idiots and tear around the house constantly, but they're a lot more fun and incredibly entertaining.

Getting a kitten as a second cat certainly made the socialising a lot easier!
