Another kitten rescued...new pictures #27 *consider yourselves warned*

[Moesha]

Well I got a voice mail message from my 8 year old niece today saying they had rescued a kitten and that I needed to call her for the story. I called back but my sister-in-law's phone went dead. I just got back from their house where I got the story. (They live just behind my house on a different road.) My brother was heading out in his truck to work and saw this baby kitten in the road not moving. A tractor/bushhog had just gone by mowing the sides of the road and must have gone right over it. He thought the kitten was dead. Then he stopped and thought it was blind. Its eyes were all crusted shut. But he moved his head to follow my brother's movements. So he picked him up and drove back to the house. My sister-in-law said he blew the horn in the driveway and asked if this thing could be saved. She wasn't sure what it was but when she realized it was a kitten she said it couldn't be saved if he ran it over with the truck. He told her what happend. She immediately got the kids in the van and took it to the vet's office. This little guy weighs only half a pound. He literally had hay stuck in his skin from the force of the mower. The tech at the vet was afraid his eye had ruptured. She started cleaning scabs and goop started oozing. But finally she got it all cleaned out and they could see the eyeball. He was covered in fleas and starving. He attacked her hand because she had a piece of a pillpocket in it. He can eat crunchies, so he doesn't need to be bottle fed at least. They are soaking the crunchies some first though. I walked over with my big carrier, so I didn't have my camera with me. It was in my car. I told them I would be back tomorrow with the camera. They were trying to pick a name. My brother says he is calling him Puppy. That's because my niece has been begging for a puppy for ages! He said now she has her puppy. (The rest of them will give it a proper first name and Puppy will be his middle name.) Pictures tomorrow.

Awwww, so they are keeping him? That's great!! :D Another great rescue story. :)
Can't wait to see pictures.

[Moesha]

Awwww, so they are keeping him?

My sister-in-law wouldn't let the kids think of any names until they talked to my brother to see if he would let them keep him. He's been anti-any more pets. They have one kitty, Tom Cooter. He said only one pet! But when she talked to him, he said that he wouldn't have brought it home if he wasn't prepared to let them keep him. He's a softy under all that talk! He's my brother, how could he not be! LOL I like to think I've rubbed off on him a little bit.

[jennielynn1970]

Awe... poor little guy!!! Did he check to see if there were any other kittens in the hedge where the tractor went past?? I'd be worried that there were others left behind there, and maybe injured and sick as well.

Big get strong and healthy hugs and thoughts going out to Puppy!

[Moesha]

I am not sure if he looked or not, but my sister-in-law said she checked on her way home from the vet's office and couldn't find any evidence of anyone else.

[jennielynn1970]

Awe... so the poor thing was just dumped. :(

I'm glad your brother is a softy!

[Laura's Babies]

Awww! Please keep us posted on Puppy! (I like that name for a little kitten!)

[Taz_Zoee]

I like the name Puppy too. We adopted out a chihuahua pug mix dog a couple weeks ago named Meow. They renamed him though. LOL

[Moesha]

He was much more active today when I went to visit. I should have tried to get pictures yesterday when he was sitting still! I know his eyes look bad, but yesterday they were completely crusted shut.

I thought I would add a picture of Linus Puppy's big brother that doesn't know about him yet. This is Tom Cooter:

[Catty1]

What a CUTE BABY! He looks like he'll make it....:) Great work!

I hope Tom Cooter takes little bro under his wing, er, arm. :) He looks like a sucky boy!

[Husky_mom]

so far a happy ending... let´s hope keeps getting better... he sure is a cutie... and Tom wow!!.. he looks so huggable...

[catmandu]

THATS SUCH A MIRACLE THAT LINUS PUPPY WAS NOT KILLED , AND WE KNOW THAT THOSE YOUNG LADIES WILL SPOIL THAT LUCKY KITTEN 24/7.
:love::love::love:
AND TOM COOTER MAY GROWL AND HISS LIKE JJJ3 USED TO DO, BUT EVENTUALLY HE WILL CURL UP WITH HIS NEW PAL.:love::love:
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MIRACLE STORIES OF 2008 :love::love::love:

[phesina]

[Anikaca77]

Future Pet Talkers, I bet! Could they look any happier? My thoughts exactly. This picture speaks volumes.:)

What a sweet little baby. Isn't it remarkable the way furbabies can have such a rough start in life yet at the same time be so forgiving and loving.

Prayers for you sweetie.:love:

[Medusa]

Another happy ending thanx to the tireless efforts of Pet Talkers. What a little fuzz nugget! :love:

[Laura's Babies]

What a beautiful little baby Puppy is! WOW! He is adoreable!!!

[momtomany]

Both of those young ladies are absolutely beautiful and you can see the happiness beaming from them. Linus Puppy is adorable and will be well loved you can tell. Bless them all.

[kimlovescats]

How wonderful, Moe! Love and kindess definitely run in your family!:)

Your little nieces are beautiful little girls! Baby Puppy is precious of course and Tom Cooter is a cutie pie too!

[GILL]

We love a happy ending, what a cutie.

[Emeraldgreen]

What a cute little monkey!!! Oh my gosh, so sweet. I'm so glad this story has a happy ending. It just amazes me that there are these cats out there in such rough shape without a family and all alone. What a relief that your brother spotted Linus and is willing to adopt him. :) Thanks for sharing the pics.

[krazyaboutkatz]

What a cutie pie he is.:D I'm so glad that he's doing much better and is now safe and in a wonderful loving forever home.:) Your neices are adorable and so is his big brother.:)

[DJFyrewolf36]

How adorable! I am so glad that your brother stopped to help the little guy. I have a soft spot for "reject" kittens (my Hoodini boy being one himself)
Prayes that he continues to get better!

[Moesha]

Tomorrow will be one week since Linus was rescued. I was over there tonight trying out my new camera. I haven't really gotten to experiment very much with the camera, so these are basically point and shoot shots. Can you tell that he has grown? His eyes are looking much better also!


He was quite content to let my niece carry him like this all she wanted.

Here he is next to a Nintendo DS for a size reference.

Making sure that all the homework was completed accurately.

Time to head out of here and find more trouble to get into.

More to come...

[Moesha]

Why am I in this jail?!?
http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/runningazoo/Linus%20Puppy/fd7149aa.jpg


I have rights! I demand my rights!
http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/runningazoo/Linus%20Puppy/733830fd.jpg


There's got to be a cell phone in this purse. If I can just reach a little farther, I can make a phone call.
http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/runningazoo/Linus%20Puppy/17da1564.jpg


Fine then! I'll resort to looking pathetic and praying that someone will have pity on me.
http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/runningazoo/Linus%20Puppy/14414f81.jpg


Finally! I got what I wanted. Another happy ending.

It's so irresistible how Linus is looking pathetic in the first pics- and full of cattitude in the second. I am so glad this story has a happy ending.
And your nieces are nearly as cute as the kitty ;)

Has Tom met his little brother yet?
