New Kitten (1 pic)- Update post #15

UPDATE:
We decided to name the kitten "Turtle". I'm not really sure how that name came about- Justin and I were just laying in bed talking the other night and somehow we came up with the name Turtle. It really seems to fit the kitten though.

Turtle saw the vet yesterday and for the most part all is well. He tested negative for feline leukemia! He tested positive for coccidiosis though. We're treating him for that and he will be retested in 2 weeks. We're keeping him separated from our other cats until the coccidiosis is gone.

I hope the next 2 weeks go by quickly, I can't wait to introduce Turtle to the rest of the cats (and the dogs too).

When my sister and I were kids, she had a tabby names Squeak - and she had spots on her tummy, so one nickname was "Turtle Tummy".

I think that is a CUTE name! Glad the checkup went well.

Aw, I'm just catching up after a hectic week here. What a sweet little boy to join a PT home! Hey Turtle, great to see you! Hope you feel better fast! Being a kitten with all that energy, it just isn't right to have to be isolated.

I know, it's not fair. I hate that he has to be shut in the bathroom for so long, but I just can't risk my other pets getting sick. We bought him a ton of toys today! It's been 4 years since we've had a little kitten in the house and I can't wait to have him out with playing with everyone. We go in to see him and play with him often. At the very least he'll see us whenever we have to use the bathroom.

AWWWWW welcome to PT little Turtle. You look so much like my little rescue Lindy.

Good luck in trapping the others and bless you for taking in this one.
