Aww, the little guy looks like he had quite the experience at the Vets.Looks
like tears in his eyes. :( Imagine all the new stuff he gets to discover every
single day. :) I'm sure he should do just fine at his new home. This really
takes me back to the time went my two kitty brothers(Redbud & Micky)
were tiny kittens. I had such fun showing them their reflection in a hand
mirror & letting them experience toys for the first time.It was so neat.
Hello,
I have been reading all your messages about picking up the stray male kitten. I think what you did was very caring. I grew up on a farm and we had many cats. We used them to control the mice and rats in the barn. U We started with one or two cats but then more and more appeared. You see a lot of people see a farm and drop off unwanted animals hoping the farmer will adopt them. My mom was outside one day and actually saw someone drive by and fling/throw a baby kitten out the moving car window. It was very badly hurt and died a few moments later. Sometimes I would go into the barn and see two new cats appear overnight. We finally had between 20 and 30 living in the barn. Farmers for the most part do their best, they feed and water their cats and do spend some time petting and talking to them. Farmers love animals if you don't you can't be in this line of work. However no one can take that many cats to a vet for regular care, shots, spaying or neutering. It is simply a different way of life, much different then the one I have now in the burbs. People need to stop throwing their unwanted animials onto farmers land and expecting them to take care of their unwanted pets.
As for this little kitty you have I am sure you will find him a good home. And yes you did do the right thing. His mom will miss him for a while but in a few months she will just have another batch of kittens to feed and worry about and the cycle of life and death marches on.
Thanks for all your help with Radar. Wow, i can't imagine someone digging in my ears to get mites out. Poor baby!!!
Ugh. that mean cop w/ the citation pad should have let you go!! Anyway, i look forward to more pics of this baby. :D
I had forgotten about this until I read your note in my thread about tickets. Coming back here now I thought it amusing that Timstead's new human has named him RADAR! :D :pQuote:

Radar went for his second visit to the vet this past Wednesday. Although my car and wallet went to the vet, I did not. He has doubled his size since his last visit and from all of the fun stories about him, he is turning in to a love bug as well as a wild and crazy kitten. He got a clean bill of health at this visit, along with shots. One more series of shots and then the big snip.
He sleeps with his new mom and dad and plays, plays, plays. I have been promised a pic of him soon and as soon as I get it (them?) I will post them here too.
Yes, Radar is a lucky kitten, for sure.
I saw his fur mom on the side of the road, where she lives, on Saturday. I guess it is a matter of time until she produces another litter.
I forgive the farmers around here, as many of them are just about out of business due to the prices of milk, gas etc. I just feel sorry for the poor cats. Yes, people do leave their homes (move) and leave their cats, allowing them to move on to the next farm or home. It will never change.
Lucky Radar.
Fixed the links--the first [IMG] had a slash in front that was messing them up.Quote:

Don't you just love his photos. He is SO darn happy.
I am so thrilled for him.
What a guy, that Radar!
P. S. Would you fix that last one too? What is with me?
There needs to be a [/img] at the end of each. They start with [IMG] and end with [/img].:DQuote:

Oh Sallyanne, it's heartwarming to read your updates. :D How wonderful that Radar has found a loving home - he is such a sweetheart. :p You have been absolutely fantastic!
I'm so glad that the vet visits went well, and he's putting on weight and learning to use the litterbox. He is a very lucky little guy, and will be happy in his new home. :)
Congratulations on a really good rescue operation, and also on your 3000 great posts! Keep them coming! You're a treasure on PT!
Where have I been????? How did I miss this wonderful story???? How did I miss Sallyanne's birthday????
Oh Sallyanne...Radar is so gorgeous! And he will live in the lap of cat lux...far better than chasing mice through the field while dodging fox.
You are wonderful too for doing this....
and a belated happy birthday....
What a cutie pie! Good job for rescuing him.
Re the pics: You probably had a "fat fingers" attack; I get those in the lab all the time where I drop pens, vial tops, etc!
Yup, he has definitely grown since the first pic you posted of him. So wonderful that this worked out for everyone!
He sure has grown and is such a cutie pie.:) I'm so glad that he has such a wonderful loving forever home now.:)
I have forgotten to keep track of this thread, SAS! :o He is just adorable and looks very, very happy!!! You done good, Ms. Worrywart!!! :D
Now, since you couldn't remember how to post pictures, do you think that is a hint that perhaps you don't practice enough???? ;)
How very true!!!! I miss pictures of my favorite girl kitties!Quote:
