Calling all Orangy lovers! Introducing...MILO!
I worked a 14 hour shift today and am very tired so please forgive any bad use of spelling/gramatical mistakes. I feel like my feet are going to fall off of my body any second.
Anywho, as some of you know I work at Banfield Pet Hospital here in Eugene. Today a couple and their son brought in a kitten. They claimed they found him by the river near the Rose Gardens crying. I am not certain if I believe the story. Being so close to the river, with lots of mud and I am sure lots of fleas, he looks to be too healthy to have been "found" He has absolutely NO fleas, is already trained to use the litterbox, has a nice appetite, clean ears etc. Not to mention he is very well adjusted.
The couple said they were going to take him to Greenhill Humane Society but they did not take kittens over 8 weeks old, and they wanted to know his age. Well....Greenhill does not take stray kittens or cats unless they are found in the city of Veneta, and their little boy was clearly upset that his parents were giving his kitty away. :( Poor boy, I just wanted to give him a hug. He looked so sad. I hope he was found, and that these people didn't just give their child's pet away. I don't know who could leave a precious kitten down by the river. :(
Well needless to say I took him home. I didn't want him going to the pound and I've been looking for another kitten for a couple of years now, but wanted something that jumped at me, and wanted my next kitten to be a rescue, as Ewok was. He is absolutely adorable!!! We couldn't test him for FELV/FIV yet as he is only 5 weeks old. In three weeks I will take him back to work to get tested and start his vaccines. He was dewormed today and the vets think he looks great! I can't believe how healthy he looks. I have since dubbed him "Milo". He is an absolute doll! :D He is very cuddly which I love. He's not 100% into toys yet, but is learning how to chase the feather chaser. Right now he is lounging on my bed getting used to his new surroundings. He's already peed in the litter box. What a good boy!
