My first official rescue

[jenluckenbach]

As you know I have been fostering since April. But the cats are sent to me by the organization. But today a friend of mine calls me and says he doesn't know who else to call.....(OK I already know it must be cat related). He is at work and one of his customers comes in with a very small grey kitten. It was tossed out into a parking lot. OK. I don't really have the athority to simply accept every cat that is in trouble, after all there are finances to worry about. ................ BUT............Just 2 days ago an application was sent to One by One for .....guess what............. a GREY.....KITTEN......of which we had none..........COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!??????????
I don't think so.
So SHE goes to the vet this afternoon for the testing, but she appears to be about 6 to 8 weeks old, with a bit of a cold. Poor baby.

This will make the 2nd kitten that miraculously appears out of thin air that fits the description on an application. I get the feeling that God approves of my ambitions. :)

Good Luck at the White Coat, lil Grey Kitty!!
Hope the sniffies pass quickly.

:D

[Christiansmommy]

Ahhh, that is great. Can we see a pic of the little fur ball? :)

[PayItForward]

Jen you are playing snap with kittys and homes...cool :D

What to do you mean your first offical rescue, there is no scaling as far as I know. Surely your first shelter cat was your first rescue.

Gosh if you add up ALL the kitties you have cared for and/or homed, you must be in the 20's at least.

How many saved cats are happy due to your intervention ?

PS.I love your new signature.

[jenluckenbach]

Since waiting to imagestaion is simply NOT an option, here she is:

[jenluckenbach]

and

EDIT: OMG! I forgot to say.she's tested negative! :)

[PayItForward]

Hurrah..She passed the dreaded blood test :D
(well, in our home it is dreaded :( )

[Steffi N]

I hope you are able to unite this little cutie with the person looking for a gray kitten. I'm glad her test was negative and that she gets over her cold soon.
Thank you for making another rescue.

[RedHedd]

Betty Boop looks perfect! There are no coincidences in God's world. Well done! :)

[CatDad]

She looks absolutely adorable!!

I tend to agree that all of your fosters are rescues, and that you have made more then you share of happy kitties.:)

Good luck on uniting the new kitty.:) Very happy to hear that she tested negative.:)

I really like the new sig pic also.:D

[tomkatzid]

Just yesterday your sig had 14 cats, now 15. Which is new, Mickey?? I can't really tell.

[Cincy'sMom]

I was thinking the same thing Katz...are you up to 15 permanent residents Jen?

The kitten is adorable!!! SOundslike she came along at just the right time to find a great new home!

[catcrazylady]

She is adorable! God answered some prayers when she came to you. We wish her a wonderful life in her new home.

[jenluckenbach]

Betty Boop is sure a good little eater. Her runny eye looks much better this morning. (terramysin is really wonderful stuff). I had been worried that she had not used the litter box, and her belly is so swollen (worms), but this morning I found a perfectly good little poop right where it should be. ;) Late last night I forced some water because I did not think she had drunk and that is when it dawned upon me that she didn't know what the water dish was. but she knows now. :D She is alone in my bathroom, which might sound like a good idea to all of you who have not SEEN my bathroom, but with her carrier (being used as a bed), her litter box, food and water dishes, there is NO place to actually stand!:o That, and the fact that my bathroom door does not close from the outside (it is a bifold that folds in). I have to jimmy-rig it in order for it to stay closed so the big cats don't go in. And let me tell you, in the middle of the night, when you need to use the bathroom, UN-jimmy-rigging the door is NOT fun!!! :D

Aw, what an adorable kitten!! welcome to this world, Betty Boop!!

[ChrisH]

Aww, she is so adorable.:)

Jen, the kitties you care for, and have helped, know for sure you are one special kitty angel lady! Bless you. :)

[kimlovescats]

Betty Boop is adorable and YIPPEE, she is negative!!! Great job, and NO it is NOT a coincidence! God does love what you are doing, and that is what I draw my strength on as well! I KNOW that HE put this love in my heart for a divine PURRPOSE! ;)

[NoahsMommy]

Jen,

That is wonderful little little gray girl is with you and she passed her tests! :) She sure is a total cutie!!! :D

I'm so glad you're there for all those little ones that need you.

:)

[smokey the elder]

What a little QTPi. I'm glad that you can take all these babies and find them homes. It's so rewarding.

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is wonderful news!!!:D Betty Boop is adorable and I'm so glad that you were able to foster her and get her healthly for her new loving forever home. :)

[AvaJoy]

Here's to Divine Intervention! May precious little Betty Boop get healthy soon and find loving guardians awaiting . . . I hope they can measure up to what you have offered her, and so many before her! :)

[jenluckenbach]

Betty Boop's eye is just fine. It turned out to be from exposure NOT an URI. So that is good news. Her potential adopters went with another kitty, but he was one of "ours" so that is OK too. She had attention at adoption days today even though she was only there in pictures, so I am sure by NEXT adoption day, she will find that special home. (and that means she should be with me for 2 more weeks) :)
She is out of the bathroom and in her own deluxe accomondations. YES, it is a cage, but to a cat her size, it is a mansion. She has food, water, litter (of course) but also hanging toys, hiding box and carpets (plush). I told her that she has the best room in the house.;)

[Logan]

She is marvelous, Jen!!!! :) What a precious little girl, who I would love to have join this house! :o I don't think hubby would agree though. (OK, I know he wouldn't agree).

I know she will find a home soon, and in the meantime, she is in the exact, perfect place!!!! :)
