[CatLuvrs]

Leda is so pretty! I just love seeing everyones cats! I need to take some more pics of Myles and Max! I haven't sent any for a while!

What pretty markings on her. Poor girl has had such an experience! I know Jen will get her to purr before long.

[Felicia's Mom]

Congrats on your new arrival Jen.

I've missed quite a bit here the last few days, you have a new cat for you or another foster? She looks like a lovely cat.

She sure is beautiful. Welcome to PT Leda. When will she be going to live with Lizzie? I must have missed a few threads.

Aww, good job Jen!

She's a beautiful cat. Looks just like my RB Tier!

I wanted to show you Leda's accomondations. (see attached) She has stayed (to my knowledge) on the bottom tier so far, but she did eat some canned food and used her box to pee and poop. She is staying in the cardboard box I provided (I figured she would) and she watches everything that is going on around her.

I have her dry food and water on the 2nd tier as a space saver, but since I am not certain she has gone up there yet I added water to the canned food I offered her inside her hidey box.

Her eyes are so expressive.

Lizzie, I emailed you and will be waiting for a response so I know your account is working.

What a perfect place for her to get acclimated in her new home! That is a wonderful, safe hideaway.

Leda, honey, it will be all right. You are in the best place possible!

She sure is beautiful. Welcome to PT Leda. When will she be going to live with Lizzie? I must have missed a few threads.

When I know that I've cleared ringworm from my home. It's not quite a week yet since I took in Cattulus to start treatment, so there are three weeks to go of constantly checking the others to see if they get it. If any of them get ringworm, then it's another four weeks from their infection date. My downstairs isolation room is being set up for Beans whom Melissa is picking up on Friday or Saturday and fostering until he can be trucked to me. Only when he has been moved to the no-more-ringworm-upstairs, can I take in Leda who will live with my downstairs cats. Then, of course, we have to hope the truckers can move her to me.

Leda is so sweet. And she has a purrfect little condo to get accustomed to your household

Leda is beautiful! I am so happy she is out of the shelter and now she can start feeling safe.

This afternoon Leda ventured to the top of the 3 levels.

Here she is (same cowering position)


But notice how her head has perked up a little bit. This is right after I was petting her. Was she looking for more?

[catnapper]

You can tell just from the photos that she is a complete sweetheart!

Lizzie, we have an awesome older tuxie gent at the adoption shelter named Gus. I think Gus needs to come home with her I'm sure we could arrange a separate carrier to get on the back of the car taking Lena home

What a sweetie! Tonight, I pet her head and chin again and she started to roll over. Slowly, a tiny bit at a time, but She went all the way to a belly rub!

She headbutted into my hand and wrist.....HARD, too!!!

She ate some more food, but wanted to lick it off my fingers. And I had to stay with her or she'd stop eating.

She is totally melting my heart. GREAT call Lizzie!!!!! She did NOT deserve to die.
