Look what I brought home! *Cuteness Warning*

[catcrazylady]

I haven't mentioned it yet because I wasn't sure how things would work out but I recently started working at our "No Kill" shelter. Due to the financial status of the shelter and for me I'm not sure how permenant this will be. I'm already getting into trouble!;)

Unfortunately URI and pnuemonia are running rampant right now and there are so many sick cats. It's spreading and getting worse by the day.:(

This little guy was found several weeks ago in a box on the shelter porch. His back leg was broken.:( He was checked by the vet, casted, and kept at the shelter. Due to some real bad advice from a former employee he was kept in a cage with no litter box!! How stupid is that???? She told volunteers that the vet said because of his cast he couldn't have litter!!! So the poor little fellow had to do his business in the cage and drag his cast through it.

When I first saw this I contacted the vet immediately who was blown away by the stupidity of the former employee. His cast was soaked in urine and he stunk to high heavens! When the vet came in his cast was immediately removed, I cleaned him up, and put a litter box in his cage. He smelled so bad we all almost threw up trying to get the cast off of him. He was so happy to have a place to go potty!!! Poor baby!

Now, he is one of the very few kittens that's not sick so I decided to bring him home so hopefully he will stay well. I feel like he's had enough to deal with in his very short little life.

His name through the shelter is Sunshine but I don't like that at all. It sounds too girly.
He is currently in my cage here and having a ball! He has to stay cage bound until his leg heals completely. He has been playing like a little madman through the bars with all my Brats and he is loving it! So are the Brats!

Are you ready for some very serious cuteness???

You can tell how hard the move from the shelter to our house was on him.;) He's not relaxed at all!!!:p


Yes, I'm supposed to be fostering him so go ahead Catnapper and lay it on me! I deserve whatever you can throw at me when it comes to fostering 101! It just had to be an orangie boy didn't it????:rolleyes:

[grybai]

Oh my gosh! SO CUTE!!!!

[momcat]

Hi Catcrazylady! Boy, is that cuteness warning an understatement or what? And what a lucky little guy to find YOU! Any chance that Sunshine will join your brat squad?

[sirrahbed]

OH MY GOSH!!! If he isn't a dollbaby then I don't know what is!!:D What a precious face he has and I swear his orangeness does not affect me at all. Lisa - catnapper IS going to have a great time teasing you but I suspect you will not care a bit. This little fellow is going to thrive under your care I know it!! Great news that the brats are already wanting to play and he just looks so darn happy and cute.

You are hopeless you know?;) :p :D Hopelessly crazy but you already knew that. He looks like a Picasso to me. Dennis says he looks like a Dennis with his red hair!!:rolleyes:

[K & L]

What a doll baby! Boy was he lucky to fall into your hands! Are you keeping him?:D

[catcrazylady]

I refuse to answer any "Am I keeping him" questions until Catnapper has had her fun with me.;) I picked on her for so long about failing fostering that I think she is entitled to a little *get even*. ;) :D

My *intention* is to foster :rolleyes: but darn he's cute!!!:D

[rosethecopycat]

So no more cast for Sunny?

He looks great, thanks for helping him, it's worth it.

[Craftlady]

He is sooooooooooo cute :)

[catcrazylady]

No more cast for him Rose. He is on cage rest for quit awhile. I do carry him around and show him things since he can't get out and explore.:D He has been alone for so long now that he is used to it and is very entertained by exchanging paw swats with Rosco and sniffing noses through the cage. He thinks he now has the coolest Cat TV!:) :)

He is so tird that he can't hold his eyes open but he doesn't want to miss any move made by one of the brats. He really is having a lot of fun. Hopefully soon he will be healed enough that he can come out and play.

[Laura's Babies]

You forgot to mention that PINK nose with all that orangeness.. I am......

MELTING !!!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Awwwww! He's so adorable.:D I'm a big sucker for orangies too.;)

[finn's mom]

Wow! He's gorgeous! I want an orangie, all this orangeness is too much for a cat-less girl! ;)

[Corinna]

Since catnapper hasn't done so I will. Sure he's a foster!!!!!!!
All that orangeness yep he's a foster ummmmm ok sure.

[catnapper]

ROTFLMBO!!! Why pull MY good fostering name into this? :D :p ;)

How much fun should I have with this? What could I say or do to her? Hmmmm... the choices, the options!

Is this one a "foster"? Yeah, right. I'll go ahead and say it: Everyone please welcome the newest CCL kitty. All I know is his name will not begin with a "P"... which is sad, because he SO looks like a Parker. Or perhaps a Pedro? Pedro sounds nice with Rosco. The O's can double team in nawteeness. Rosco has lots to teach him about picking on Leroy and knocking down trees, but I think he's man enough for the job by now.

I think they gave her the job only because they knew she'd walk home with a new cat each week. And pretty soon they'd have no more cats left in the shelter. Yup, I think thats what they did! ;)

Man.... I have such a bad reputation here! For the record, Angel and Flutter are still officially fosters. I AM going to attempt to find them homes! I SWEAR! No matter how much I love those girls and am already plotting my "litterbox issue" story to prospective adoptors I get NO respect around here! :eek:

PS: Sorry it took me so long -- I was watching a moive! Go figure the night I'm not online playing something big happens!

[shais_mom]

hooooowww

is he??????????????

MELTING !!!!! Me too! Another puddle of oh-so-cute ORANGIE cuteness overload! Mishi! Catch me!

So you're not keeping him, right? :p You COULD send him to me.

[rg_girlca]

OMG He is just too darn adorable.

*CUTE* *CUTE* *CUTE* *CUTE* *CUTE* *CUTE* *CUTE*


*Snicker, snicker* at catnapper's post.

[Barbara]

He must be so happy he's clean now- what a trauma for a kitten to go through.

And what a face! I am sure he enjoys not being alone and stinky anymore.

And of course someone has to make sure there are no more bad experiences waiting for him:)

[orangemm]

What an adorable face! How could you bear to give him up now???? I'd be hopeless at fostering; I'd want to keep them all.

He is such a sweetie!!!

[jenluckenbach]

He is spectacularly cute!!

[Lightning SuperCat]

ORANGE cats are Always cute! Plus the PINK nose! He is so adorable! Give him lots of hugs and smooches for me! You did a great thing to save him!!!!!!!:D Wow it was hard to make all these different colors!!!!! Why do I make all my posts purple!!!!! :p

[catlover4ever]

OMG!!!!! He could be a twin to my RB baby Tobias!!! At least I think they look alike.

My RB Tobias
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/pbafa53481eb4e2b221cfcd9e0346bd19/fbe77406.jpg

If I lived closer he would be stolen from your house. Since getting Abner I have such a soft spot for orangies .

[sirrahbed]

Yes Meg, I think he and your RBTobias look very much alike - same expression for sure.:)

As for the adorable bit of orangie... well we are planning a trip to see CCL very soon...do you suppose she is setting me up???:eek: :rolleyes: :p ;)

Just trying this name on for size:

I like it! :D Aw c'mon Dennis, you're soon going to be having one baby in the house, so why not another new baby? ;) :D

Lisa, he is just too adorable and yes, Meg, he most certainly does look just like Tobias! :eek: :eek:

Gotta love those little orangies! :D

I think Byron is a perfect name!!!

Don't feel bad about hubby pitching a fit...I think it is just fit pitching time....I told Mark last night about how I was able to pet Vegas last night and when he gets well enough we can take him to the new house....afterall there are 4 acres for him to enjoy:p :p :rolleyes: and the fit began!!!!!

[shais_mom]

I like Emerson....
or Grissom (;) CSI)

[Sonia59]

Is it possible to be so cute ????? YES, Emerson is the cutest orangie baby with a pink nose I've ever seen!!! :D kiss-kiss-kiss!!!

If only I lived closer....:(

I could not work in a shelter, I would take them all! But, if we would ALL work in a shelter, they would ALL be empty then...?!

[furrykidsmother]

Poor little thing, but fortunately he had you to look out for him. What an adorable little boy! I vote that he is a keeper! I like all of the name suggestions!

[skneisel74]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT HE IS WONDERFUL AND SUNSHINE IS NOT FITTING FOR HIM. I HOPE YOU ARE AS HAPPY WITH HIM AS HE APPEARS TO BE WITH YOU AND HIS NEW LEASE ON LIFE


(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) FROM TEXAS TO YOU BOTH.

[QueenScoopalot]

OMG!!!! He's a carbon copy for a baby I rescued years back (who was smaller)! He was used in a "tug of war" in a household of unsupervised brats, and ended up wearing a cast that was almost as big as his body! :eek: :eek: Please fail fostering..please fail fostering..please fail fostering YOU MUST NAME HIM OPIE AFTER MY SPONGE THIEF!!! Who got adopted.

[catcrazylady]

You guys are cracking me up!!!:D No Debbie this was not a setup! I swear! It never occurred to me that you might want to take him home with you when you come visit. ;) :p

I have to say that I fell in love with the name Opie!!!:D :D :D Too funny! Of course Debbie if he were to go home with you he could have any poetic name you choose!:)

I got more details on the little guys story today. His owners, and I use the term very loosly, went on vacation and left the baby outside with some food and water! Surprise, surprise, he got hit by a car. Neighbors brought him to the shelter. At first his whole backend was paralyzed and they prepared to euthanize but decided to wait one day to see if any feeling was recovered. The next morning he was walking! Of course the one back leg was badly broken.

His back legs are really skinny and he's kind of knock kneed. I don't know if he will have any lasting effects or not. It sure doesn't seem to slow him down!

Boy! Is this little guy loaded with attitude!!!
:D :D :D


Meg I see a HUGE resemblance to Tobias! It's amazing! It's like I can tell exactly what ??? face is going to look like in a few months! You want me to mail him to you??;) :D

[DogLover9501]

:eek: OMG, I missed this!

Lisa, he is too cute for his own good! I just love orange boys ;)

I definatly don't think he's leaving!! As soon as I seen him I thought "There is the 13th brat" :D

LMBO at Catnapper Kim's post!

[jazzcat]

I thought I had replied to this but don't see it anywhere. Lisa, he is too cute! You are going to be a real softy, I see your number going up quickly, LOL!!!!

I didn't know Debbie was going to visit, what wonderful timing! You know she will have a hard time leaving an orangie behind. That is if you haven't fully claimed by then.

[kuhio98]

I don't know how the heck I missed this thread. Your new "foster" :rolleyes: baby is adorable. Opie is a good name, but if we're thinking more poetically how about one of my ancestor's? "Alfred Lord Tennyson" :p

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oh, my gosh!!! Talk about sweet!!!
He's so sweet he makes my teeth ache!!!

I think he looks like an Alfie!!!:D

[Rie Rie]

AWWW!!! He is sooo CUTE!!!

[catmandu]

MY GOD,THAT IS ONE,OF THE HANSOMEST ORANGIES,THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN,AND HE LOOKS HAPPY,FOR HAVING,ALL OF THERE BAD THINGS HAPPEN,TO HIM,AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!

AND NOW GRAMPY SCRAPPY MAGOO,WILL HAVE A NEW KITTEN,TO PLAY,WITH,AND A NEW ORANGIE WILL,MAYBE JOIN,THE FOLD.
