Well, I took two fosters in this past weekend from a kill shelter about 3hrs away from here. The one is a black and white tuxie boy who is so handsome and sweet, but oh so shy and timid! He has a nasty bite wound on his tail that abscessed and burst at the vet. I'm doing warm compresses to it, which are helping, although he is NOT happy with me.
The other foster is a this tiny little spitfire of a girl named Blossom who is an Abysinnian mix. She is mostly Aby, except for the torbie look to her fur. Sheis the tiniest thing, with this very dominant personality, and the hugest green eyes I've ever seen on such a small face! She's supposd to be about 1 1/2 yrs old, but is about the size of a 6month old kitten! They said she came in to the shelter pregnant, and was near death after birthing them. She was just a bag of bones, and cried whenever anyone picked her up, because her poor little body hurt so badly.
She has recuperated well, and is gaining weight and is a good eater. She's very fiesty and playful and, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, figured out how to open the door to their foster room!! I was sitting here, reading email, when I see one of my guys hide in the entertainment center, and the others standing on the dining room table staring into the kitchen. Not a normal occurance! I just figured Furbee was being a meanie again, and went back to email. About 10 mins. later I see this tiny little face and huge green eyes staring at me from around the other side of the loveseat! She quickly scampered off and has been investigating the house for the past hour or so.
The tuxie, who is named Marty, but needs to be renamed because it does not fit him, is currently BEHIND the fridge. Ugh. At least I know where he is. I didn't think he'd leave the room, but he did.
I'll have to get some pics of the troublemaker and her roommate! She's such a cutie pie, but what a personality! I've never had Abys, and never was around them, but wow, is she an active little thing!!
Anyone an Aby lover here who needs another one for their home?! She is up for adoption from our shelter!!
