Preggo kitty wandered onto my porch! *started a new thread*

[sasvermont]

Thank you for taking in this sweet, sweet kitty and her soon-to-be family. If I were you, I would begin looking for just the right shelter/adoption facility to take her and the kittens at the best time. They like to have the kittens socialized and well cared for, I am sure.

I don't think I could do what you are doing, as I would want to keep them all. I did, a few years ago, find a kitten on the road and within minutes, made a deal with a co-worker to take the kitten if I paid for all the vet bills. I just knew I was at my limit with cats. However, having a bunch of kittens would keep my from leaving home etc. since playing with kittens is my all time favorite thing to do. Maybe I should come over soon and kitten sit for you! LOL...

You are such an angel for taking Momma in and seeing that she gets the best treatment during this oh so stressful time for a cat. I hope all things run smoothly and the kittens arrive during the day on a day you had nothing planned.

Please keep us posted and of course, we ALL love photos. So photos would really break our hearts! And if one kitten is orange, the thread will soar! For some reason, many folks here LOVE their orange kittens!

Thanks again for being such a lover of animals and stepping up to the plate. Not everyone would do what you are doing. There are quite a few folks like you, hanging out here on Pet Talk. I wonder why!

Another sleepy day for her. I'm going to refer to her as Sylvia from here on out, as that's what we've been calling her. I'm thinking it might become her permanent name, but I like Isis for her too. If anyone has suggestions feel free to share.

Thanks, sasvermont, for the nice comments and advice. I already have a list of local places that I like from previous encounters. I will be contacting them very soon and get a plan together. If nothing else they could always do a courtesy posting for me.

If I'm going to keep anybody, it'd be Sylvia. But really, I'd love it if they could all get homes. My little family has been getting along so well lately that I don't want to shake things up too much. But as I've been saying so often lately... you never know!

I've been SO bad about pictures. I'm sorry! I swear I will take some and post them today. And I will definitely take pictures of the kittens when they come.

She has a very classical face so to me, this is just my opinion but Isis fits her better. She just has that face of the kitties you see in the egyptian hyroglyphs.

Ok, I took a few pictures as promised. But first - regarding her eye. It has been that way for a day. She squints most of the time. Didn't see any damage when I checked. Will try to switch her over to a grainless canned food with a meat like duck or venison. She doesn't seem to try to scratch at it. If it doesn't go away, my vet does house calls.

She's a beauty - she looks a lot like Lady's Human's Trillian - almost never seen in pictures, but she's also a petite tuxedo kitty with sleek fur.

Sylvia is a nice name, but because she reminds me so much of Trillian, I was also thinking of Jillian!

[momcat]

What a beauty!!!!! I hope her eye will be okay, please let us know how that goes? Could I ask youto give her some scritchies and lovies from me?

She's such a pretty girl. Since she was found during the Summer this is what I'd name her. I've always loved the name Summer for a female. I would''ve named one of my females this but they already had wonderful names before I adopted them. Good luck.
