    New foster

    Ok, let me start off but stating that I fully admit I'm nuts.

    We sent my son back to college last week and cleaned out his room to make room for a new foster. His name is Tuscan and he's a orange Maine Coon. The story is his owner was laying in bed. Tuscan had the awful misfortune of jumping from the dresser onto the bed and accidentally scratching his owner. His owner promptly tossed this handsome kitty outside and left him to starve. The neighbor took pity on him and had been "feeding" him (if you can call snack pretzels soaked in milk as feedings)

    Anyway, Tuscan found his way into the rescue and tugged at my heartstrings. He's a sick little boy right. Grossly underweight and in bad need of some love and good food. I have the room and the patience to nurse him back to health. Hubby says I owe him big time for "letting" me take him in And for the record, he will NOT stay. He will be nursed back to health and sent on to a forever home within a few months. I swear!

    *snicker snicker giggle giggle* He is gogeous Kim. And I know you will have he in top notch shape in no time.


    Tuscan...Welcome to the catnapper family. We all know you aren't going anywhere. Welcome home beautiful boy.

    So Kim have you though of a new name yet to go with the double letter theme of the rest of the kitties? *snicker snicker giggle giggle*

    What a beautiful boy he is! And, so lucky that he is with you and not that STUPID former "owner" who should be beaten with a stick.

    Wherever he goes, I want him to be loved and cared for as he should be. Thank goodness for you!!

    Awww....dear Tuscan! You are a handsome boy!

    Kim, we have to see pictures of Tuscan 'blooming' - I bet he will be a snuggle bunny in no time.

    That IDIOT owner! I wish he could be charged!

    Poor Tuscan, it makes me so sad to think of how mistreated and understood you were. You can see in your eyes that you just want to be loved and wanted. I wish I could take you into my home. You've captured my heart.

    And I am so glad you took him in catnapper, you are such a loving person. I bet that Tuscan is not going to want to leave your house after a little while

    An orange Maine Coon? From experience, he will wrap his velvet paws around your heart and you won't be able to let go. He looks SO sweet! Give him some schmoozles for me, would ya?

    Awe! I'm so glad you took Tuscan! I felt so bad when I read his story in the email. I just am not home enough to nurse anyone back to health at this point. My guys are like glue with me! MOM! YOU'RE HOME!!! Summer vacation and only one job had them spoiled! I have 4 of them surrounding me right now. I'm in a circle of love!
