Introducing...

Sid, the newest member to our household.


(Yes we apologized to him for the feminine softy-paw color. )

Sid (formerly Stretch) is a 4 month old, furry-purry that came to us via the humane society. Technically, he's not ours yet ... they wouldn't let us adopt him because he's not neutered; we weaseled around that by "fostering" him until he's neutered (sometime this week or next). We also placed a "we're interested" deposit so that we have first dibs on the guy.

He hasn't been tested for FIV/FeLV yet, so he's seperated from the rest of our crew. Tinker and Sara are indifferent to the new sounds, smells.... K'Cee is MAJORLY PO'd. Our vet isn't open during the wkend so we'll place a call ASAP tomorrow morning.

Sid, so named after Sid the Sloth from the movie Ice Age, is my sister's cat. Yes, we still have Clarice but unfortunately not for much longer; her health is deteriorating rapidly. (We're probably going to have her pts on Wednesday, if not before.) I wanted this to be a happy thread, so I'm going to stop on this subject for now.

Ok, more pictures!





He's such a wiggle-worm (AND INTO EVERYTHING!!) that it's hard to get a good picture of him.

I love the pink claws also! Welcome home Sid! How very nice of you to adopt him, and give him a wonderful furrever home. I am sorry to hear about Claurice, but I wont bring down this thread either.
I just LOVE Sids colors/markings! Would also love to see MANY more pictures when you get a chance

Sid is going to be a big boy, because he looks to be a Maine Coon / mix kitty!!! How handsome he is and will be!! Good luck with the tests and I hope he is a permanent family member soon!

4 months old? He is HUGE! What a huggable bundle he is.

Congratulations.

He's a gorgeous guy. Hope everything works out.

I am sorry to hear about Clarice.

His feet are HUUGGGEEEE!
I'd like to get a comparison of his foot to Tinker's once we get him checked out.... that is, if we can get him to hold still! lol

I'm wondering if he's actually older than 4 months but *shrug* the humane society had him exactly one month and the surrender-er said they were 3 months, so ??

His sister, Fancy, is in her first heat if that helps any.

These are the pics from Petfinder:

Tickles, a littermate (He was actually the one we were going to go look at but he'd been adopted earlier that morning.)


Fancy, the sister. (She's still available for adoption.)
