Someone with more then me! LOL Im mom to 6.
Missy is my oldest, she is 12. My grandparents got her from a shelter on the day she was going to be put down. She was 8 months and her former owner didnt want her anymore.. Unfortunately my grandparents have both passed on, so shes with me nowShe does real well for someone whos had 4 owners.
Everyone else were strays I took in.
Mommy was a stray I was feeding who had her back leg broke by a male cat. The leg came out of the socket and fused to the hip bone, apparently it caused complications with delivering kittens because I got a knock at the door one day and my neighbor tells me there is blood all over my steps. I followed the trail to her, in the corner of my porch lifeless. We rushed her to the vet and they had her for about 5 days, a kitten had died inside of her and for some reason she couldnt pass it. She was pretty feral and I remember the vet called and said "I think she feels better because she is attacking everyone who walks by her cage" After all that, I couldnt put her back outside to live, so she stayed....She adjusted very nicely to living inside and is actually my best behaved....She is 7 now.
Idaho (born in an Idaho potatoes box) was born to one of my strays and I found her at 4 weeks old, her eyes and nose sealed shut with green pus. I scooped her up and ran her to the vet, and she was on antibiotics for about 6 months. The lens inside the eye was so swollen it took weeks before we actually got to see her eyes. We thought she'd actually end up being blind, but shes fine. She stayed too, after all that I was attached to her. She is a pit bull in a cats body LOL She is 5.
Yoda was the first kitten I took in. She is HUGE. 15 pounds, long haired and has too many toes. She is 6.
Irwin is my little guy with all the urinary problems, hes also Mommys son.
Then there is Moglie. Hes 10 weeks...
I found him in June crying in my yard when he got tangled in my fence. I had him about 10 days before his hair started to fall out and we discovered he had ringworm. That was fun! That made finding him a home much more harder. Of course he was kept away from everyone anyway. Hes doing well now, his hair is all grown back in, but will be on Sporonox a few more weeks. His latest culture as of now is still negative.
Everyone else is neutered/spayed and of course everyone passes a clean bill of health before being allowed in with the "general population"
Im maxed out, Ive just never learned how to say no to sick animals.
