    Welcome Lady Kiri- now with pictures at #18/19

    So sometimes things move quickly. A co-worker told me about a kitty rescue close to where I live and showed me a picture of a kitty- a cute little tabby which reminded me of the South East Asian kitties who remind me of Abys.
    So I called and while that cat girl had already been adopted the lady said she just got another one in who looked just like her- and that she was rescued in Mallorca- which is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean- and that she was flewn in just yesterday with her mom who was rescued pregnant and her two siblings.
    Mom is all white, Kiri is all tabby and her brother and sister are all black.

    She looked healthy and - regarding what she had been through- rather happy.
    So we just took her with us and went right to our vet. Trude checked her out and also found her very healthy looking. But in 2 days we'll do a little blood test because in the Southern countries kitties can be infected with giardia or other bacteria. She didn't want to take the blood today as she would prefer that Kiri relaxes a bit.

    So Kiri now moved in the guest room as we will not get her together with Orion before we know she has a clean bill of health. She ate and she played like crazy- all good signs.
    She only made one sound during all the time we drove her to the vet and home- and that was a very pure soprano sound- that's how she got her name after the NZ soprano Kiri Te Kanawa.

    Isn't that all exciting? At the moment if you come into her room she dives under the bed so I won't bother her with pictures- but soon there will be some.

    Well! Things certainly did move very fast there! I hope little Kiri - wonderful name - gets a completely clean bill of health.

    I'm so excited!

    Ohhhhh.... how exciting and how nice!

    I can't wait to see, and hear, her.

    The name is perfect - as I'm sure she is. Does Orion know she's on the premises?

    Oh, my, I have tears in my eyes! It's been almost exactly a year since I lost my Kiri, and what a wonderful thing to know that there's a new Pet Talk tabby with the same name!

    I'm sure my Kiri will keep a close watch from the Bridge over your new little girl. I hope her health checks out perfectly and she can start getting acquainted with her brother Orion very soon.

    This is wonderful news and I too can hardly wait to see your sweet little girl She sounds amazing and such a lovely name. Is Orion busy sniffing around and wondering about this new little furlady in his life I'm sure he is very curious and would dearly like to check her out.

    These two little babies will certainly keep you fit

    Congratulations and paws crossed for healthy results for Kiri.

    That is SUPER!

    I haven't been lately much on the PT, but tonight I said: I should check if Barbara found another kitty. Somehow, I knew.

    We are waiting for pictures of Kiri

    We are dog-sitting for our friends and Max is here for the second time. The cats got used to him the first week he was here in August and now it's almost normal. I am sure Orion is going to get used to the new kitty

    While Kiri was out and about this afternoon she retired behind the sofa later and hasn't come out. I just spent an hour in her room but didn't see anything. Of course after having travelled over from Mallorca (a 3 hr flight) , coming to her foster mom and the same day to us, going to see Trude and coming here she must be totally tired.
    She ate and I hope she finds the litterbox tonight.
    Orion didn't worry too much about the closed door. It is all very exciting but now I go to sleep.
    Mallorca is a holiday island where a lot of Germans and Brits go. In all these places you will find lots and lots of stray kitties. I once saw a documentation on TV about a vet going over on her vacations and spending all the days in the TNR business. There are quite some rescue organizations taking care of all the strays.
    I am glad to give a home to this little girl.

    A new kitty and a new girl kitty at that. Kiri sounds like a sweetie
    and I am so happy for you. (for Orion too ) Do you know how old she is?
    Doesn't really matter I guess, just helps me imagine her better.
