    Getting acquainted...

    Well, whaddya think ... is she adjusting well?

    (that's how I found her when I came in from work...)

    Here's the scoop:
    She's a pound-purry... on 11/1 someone from the Sherriff's office found/picked her up by the side of the HWY. She belongs/belonged to someone--(except for being dirty) she was/is well taken care of! Even has a collar (my favorite color I might add--BRIGHT BLUE--maybe that was an added gift from Soph)! At any rate, the original owner never came to claim her. I was smitten the moment I saw/held her.... and on "THE" day (the first day she was up for adoption; 11/7) I showed up at the pound WAY before it opened--First customer, first choice--SHE'S MINE!!

    Little is known about her age, my guess is 4 - 6months. She hasn't been introduced to the other critters yet--waitin' to see if she passes the 'health inspection.' (We have a vet appointment next Wednesday morning. *crosses fingers for a clean bill of health*) After that, she'll be introduced to the rest of the furries....

    Mom gave me one condition on adopting her ... "First place you take her is by my classroom so I can see her!" lol Second place she visited was the bathroom sink (at the house)---she was one DIRTTTYYYY lil' girl!!! Oh and did I mention, she came complete with fleas?! I think I got them all off but not quite sure....

    Dad, never one to admit he likes cats (but if you leave the room, he'll baby-talk them! ) readily said, "She's CUTE!"

    We still don't have a name, but we DO have pictures!

    She is QUITE the little ham!!

    AAhhhh,Congrats Zippy, she really is a cute,I have seen her bathing in the other thread, they are so cute when all wet
    I got a new kitty,a orange tabby, two days a go and there's noting sweeter that those lil ball of fluff.
    Often I name my pets after the place I got/found them. Also I was told that cats likes the sound of "sh".Maybe Sasha, that was the name of a femalle cat I rescued once. My stepdaughter, living in Utah, has a kitty that look like yours and she's called Sushi.Or maybe Greish from grey. Is all I can think by now.
    Enjoy the kittenhood, they grow so fast!

    Oh Tonya what a little love! She is just a little doll baby and so beautiful. I know you two are going to have so much fun together. There is nothing like a kitten for entertainment. I can remember just laughing at my two when they were that age. They are just so silly sometimes. Please do keep us informed about her name so we can be properly introduced. I hope she realizes she has just wound up in the bestest home in all of New Mexico!

    Oh gosh

    Such a sweet, sweet face! Oh my.

    I would suggest Lily as a name, since she is so pretty and delicate.

    I think she deserves whatever you want to call her....but something relating to beauty and daintiness.

    I am sure you will decide. My first comment when I saw this pictures was " what a sweetheart"...... gosh, Tonya, she is such a beauty.

    I would put some liquid flea stuff on her ASAP - something like Advantage....

    I want this kitty.

    Zippy- she is just adorable! I think she settled in very easily, judging from the first picture. I hope all goes well at the vets and with the introduction to the rest!!! Good luck, and keep us posted.

    OH Tonya

    There are lots of 'OH TONYA'S being written here and I need to jump in and add my own!

    Isn't she just the cutest little girl - check out those eyes - such a beautiful color - one bath and her full beauty came through.

    How could anyone let her go? Well, guess Miz Sophie saw her running around without a good home and knew exactly what to do.

    I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am for you.

    Hugs from Gini and Mr. Rascal

    Tonya she is so pretty! I'm so happy you and she found each other! I can't think of a name.. I'm usually so bad with that! I go to www.babynames.com to help me decide if that helps because it gives meanings!!

    I'm so happy for you!!!

    Such a sweet little girl!!!

    My goodness....if that's not the face of an angel...I don't know what one is. She is amazing Tonya!! Such a cutie!

    As far as name go...I LOVE the Lily suggestion! So cute and it would really fit her. Let's see...she DOES need something delicate...Josie? Josephine? Josephina? Ashley? Emma? (Friends STOLE that name from me! ) Emily? Ashlyn? Penelope?

    Anyway...whatever her name ends up being, it'll fit her. She's such a cutie!!

    I'm so happy for you sweetie!!

    Oh my!! She is just stunning! Simply gorgeous!! I'm so glad you found each other. Love the pics...especially the leopard print in the last pic *grin*

    I think she looks like a Sophie. I love that name. I wanted to name Gigi that but got overruled by the BF because it's *his* kitty....Riiiggghhhtt!
