TINKER PHOTOS, Post 23! Please welcome our new family member: TINKER!

[phesina]

Last Sunday (October 11) I took a drive out to the Happy Hearts Feline Rescue in Manchester, about 15 miles away. And a new kitty, Tinker, came home with me!!!

She's a brown/black tabby lady, eight years old. She lived with one man for a long time, I guess since she was a kitten. Then two years ago, he passed away. His ex-wife didn't want her, so she (ex) gave her (Tinker) to the vet. He's the one who takes care of the Happy Hearts cats, so he asked Happy Hearts if they'd take her, and they did. She lived there for two years.. until last Sunday!

Here's her picture from the shelter's web site:

I took a lot of photos a couple of days ago. After I get them over onto the computer, I'll post some here.

She's a real sweetie, friendly and full of confidence already. She and Sparkler are still working out their relationship and interaction. Still at the occasional low-growl stage, but no overt hostilities. They've been pretty much keeping away from each other.

Pat, she looks like such a sweet kitty - Congratulations to both you and Tinker for finding each other! :love: :love:
I hope Tinker and Sparkler will be friends soon, and all will go well.

I look forward to see more pictures when you get them posted. For now, take your time to get to know her.

Things appear to have settled down between the girls this evening, much more quickly than I'd thought they would! Sparkler seems to be back to being her normal self, and Tinker is exploring all over. (I have many things I'm going to have to move around or conceal, because unlike Sparkler or Galaxy, Tinker can and does go everywhere.) Earlier they were both resting nearby, Tinker on the floor next to my chair here, and Sparkler on the floor maybe six feet away. No growls or hisses, that I could hear anyway.

[Kay Burton]

I am happy for you and your new friend. It is great and pleasant when a person finds a pet for himself and the animal feels great in a new home. I don't understand people who take an animal and then kick it, mock it. When an animal is taken but why. It seems to me that taking an animal is not much inferior in responsibility with the decision to have a child. In both cases, it is a responsibility.

[phesina]

MEOW!!!, Kay!

You're absolutely right, Kay. Adopting an animal is as much a responsibility as having a child. No matter which, he/she is a member of the family.

Thank you!

[Karen]

I am sure she is far sweeter than these photos look - I detect some "cattitude" in these, but that may be misleading!

[phesina]

Yes, she's much sweeter than she looks here.. I think she was annoyed that I kept pointing this black thing at her and flashing a light!

[cassiesmom]

Hello, Tinker! You have purrfect tabby kitty markings! Thank you for being patient with meowmie and the flashy box- so we all can enjoy these pictures of you! Love to Tinker and Sparkler :love: :love:!

[Catty1]

Pretty tabby girl!

I'm glad she's settling in and that Sparkler has a buddy!:love:

[phesina]

MEOW!!!, Elyse and Candace!

[phesina]

Pretty tabby girl!

I'm glad she's settling in and that Sparkler has a buddy!:love:

They aren't exactly buddies, but they coexist without open hostilities! Every once in a while one gets a little too close to the other, and the GRRRRRrs start, and I'm not sure from which one or from both in harmony.

:love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Queen of Poop]

Miss Tinker, you are just so beautiful. You look like you could be the sister to my boy Diego.

I'm glad youre doing so well in your new home with your wonderful family!

[phesina]

MEOW!!!, Gayle!

Please show me Diego's picture.. He sounds like he's my long-lost brother!

Sorry Tinker, I have tried to post Diego's pic, but it will not upload.

[phesina]

Sorry Tinker, I have tried to post Diego's pic, but it will not upload.

MEOW!!!, Cali and Diego and Gayle!

Thanks for trying, Gayle! But not to worry, Diego and I have been communicating on the Catnet (much more powerful and all-pervasive than the Internet). We are quite sure we are siblings, whether or not we have the same father, or same mother.
