My new rescued Snowshoe Mix lil girl...*UPDATE 9/25*

[momcat]

Wow... what a face!!! Suzie is beautiful and it's easy to see why you fell in love with her. Prayers being prayed for a good check-up at the vet's and that her mommycat and fursibs are safe. A mommycat and her babies should not be out in the road at any hour day or night. Scritchies being sent for your little sweetheart, please let us know how this works out?

[kimlovescats]

Welcome to little Suzie Siamese! She goes well with my Sassy Siamese and Sahara Siamese! I hope she gets a clean bill of health on Monday!
She sure has some cute face markings! She blends in well with your other babies!

Thank you all very much! Yes I do know that she is owned. She will be checked for a microchip at the vet, along with a exam, fecal, and first shots. BUT I highly doubt that she has one, as they did not care enough to keep her close to the house and out of the road. Even if her owners want her back, I can not see myself handing over a kitten to someone who would just throw her back outside (covered with fleas, ear mites and a tick). It might be considered wrong, BUT I feel she is better off with me, inside with NO fleas and clean ears. Plus, if they did want her, they should have put a collar on her and kept her close. She could have been hit by a car, or grabbed by someone with no so good intentions.
I will look for lost cat signs, as well as lost and found ads- and I WILL call to let them know she is safe, but I am very doubtful I would hand her over.
Goind right now to look for momma and babies... I will keep you all updated.
Suzie says THANK YOU for the welcome Katie and kitties

What beautiful and unusual markings. Thanks for saving this gorgeous baby! Good luck on catching mom and other siblings!

Me and my mother found where they live. It is about 5 minutes from my mothers house. We drove 3 times down this street before we found them. They were asleep on the porch of a modular home. Momma and TWO more babies. So, on goes the black clothes and attempts to "help" the other cats out.
I wonder, should I leave a note in the mailbox telling them about this kitten, and hopefully the others? What do I do now? I hate to be this "mean" but it urks me and worries me about these kittens being in the road. That is NOT the best place for them. Wish me luck, at least we have a starting point now.

Not sure what to do....call the Humane Society from a pay phone and ask their advice?

Or, ask your vet, if he/she is a wise and trustworthy sort.

I agree, them being outside is not good...

If thye live in a modular home, maybe the income there isn't that high? If the owner was re-educated, would you be willing to pay for the mom's spay and getting the other two kittens their checkup...and returning them?

It's a tough call - some people honestly don't know, and didn't realize what they were doing.

I think it was Catnapper whose neighbours happily took their young male in to be surgically "re-educated" once they got information?

Hopefully you'll get more feedback here - maybe the Humane people would talk to the owner for you.

The owner WILL be very worried that they disappeared off the front porch...I am sure they had no idea that they were out in the middle of the road at night.

I think they deserve a chance to change. Do you feel okay about telling them?

Something like: "Your cat and 3 kittens are okay. We saw them in the middle of the road the other night, and rescued the one kitten because of traffic.
We have the rest of them because we are afraid they will get hit by cars as they are outside all the time." Then tell them about the condition of the one kitten.

Something like that.

Again, tough call. I do think the owners should KNOW.

Katie I so support you on this. Good luck and please oh please keep me updated. Give Suzie a big big hug from all of us here at Reach Out Rescue, NFP!!

Suzie went to the vet today, and had her combo test. Negative/negative. She also had her first set of shots, deworming, and she was scanned for a microchip (none).
I DO NOT plan on taking them from the front porch *that is stealing* but only if I see them wandering too far away. I was thinking about simply putting a spay/neuter pamplet in their mailbox explaining WHY we spay and neuter, and also reasons to keep all cats and kittens INDOORS. I would also put that I do have kitten#1 and that she is being well looked after. I do not want to give her back, I would not trust it.
But Suzie is doing well, all the vets and nurses went nuts over her because she purred the whole time. She is such a sweet kitty. Other than earmites she is healthy and weighs 3.2 pounds. She did have worms but that has been taken care of as well. I will post more pictures later tonight. Katie and Kitties

Great news on little Suzie - and the note is a good idea, I'm sure you'll mention she and her mom and one sibling were OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD at night! The owners might be surprised!

Suzie sure sounds like a happy little girl!
