    I leave work owning 8 cats...

    I got out of work and stopped by my sister-in-law's new house. My 2 nephews were there. As I was in the bathroom changing my clothes, my older nephew says (sounding VERY serious) "Aunt Donna, I need to talk to you when you come out."

    Okay, so I thought I was in trouble. Tim starts with "First of all, you're NOT keeping it."

    Then he tells me how him, his younger brother and a friend were in the park playing when this kitten (about 10 months old) kept following them and meowing.

    Tim told me they put a towel underneath a hollow standing ashtray, with some food and water so the cat would have SOME kind of shelter. The temperature is dropping and it's supposed to get VERY cold tonight.

    I put my shoes on and walked over to the park and there was this sweet little female brown tiger tabby with a white bib, white paws and gold eyes. VERY thin. Someone OBVIOUSLY dumped her off in the park.

    That was it for me. I scooped up this little cat, wrapped a towel around her and put her in my car. She's now in my spare bedroom with all the comforts of home, while my brood hovers around the door wondering WHO the hell is in there NOW!!!

    I told my SIL I'd contact the shelter tomorrow morning (yeah right).

    Her ears are clean and she shows no signs of fleas. I'm still going to stop by the vet and get some Advantage and Drontil. Once I can come up with enough money, I'll take her in for a full physical.

    Without further adieu...I introduce you to Hannah Mae Yeah, okay, I'm STILL in the single digits!

    hmmm, it looks like someone's going to have to make a new siggy to add another photo and name

    She's an absolute doll baby and your nephews knew exactly who to turn to.

    She's such a sweet little girl. I went in a little while ago to see if she had eaten anything. She loves the canned food. The minute I picked her up she started purring. I clipped her nails till she started growling and hissing. I'll go in again before I go to bed.

    In my heart I KNOW I need to find her a home. I'll give her a while to adjust and just see what happens.

    She is without a doubt...ADORABLE!!! So your just gonna let her settle in and see what happens huh? Well, we all know what USUALLY happens when we try that! She sure is a cutie and I'm so glad she is comfortable, warm, and well fed. How sad to think of her being alone in the park all night! I'm glad you brought her home. I'll thank you for her!! You have a very kind and loving heart and so does your nephew!! He at least tried to do something. If you decide to keep her or find her a good home at least she's not alone anymore.

    btw-You OWN how many cats or how many cats OWN you?!!

    She's adorable and I like her name.

    I think it's wonderful you took her in like that. I hope everything goes well and I look forward to progress reports.

    She is just beautiful, how lucky to find her! I want her!

    One of these days, I am going to have bunches of cats! I have thought about just sneaking them in when my husband wasn't looking, and then just say " What that cat has been here for months!", and see if that would work!

    Thank You, kittycats_delight for my new siggy!!!
