Snow Tiger is the only one of my furkids that wasn't born into this bunch. It was on the 26th of October last year, a Friday night, that I decided to go out for dinner to a Chinese restaurant -(good stuff!). While I was wating for my order, a teen-aged girl came in to the restaurant carrying something in an old shirt. There were only 4 people in the establishement at the time and the owner was in the back cooking. (I know he would have asked her to leave because it is illegal to bring an animal into a restaurant) This girl went from table to table asking the people something. When she came to my table, I saw that she had a 2 1/2 month old kitten wrapped up in the old shirt. She asked me if I wantd the kitten. I noticed right away that he had gray ears and that his coat was icy white. Of course I wanted him! Not because of his colors but mostly he was a kitten who needed a home. The girl also said that her dad told them to get rid of the litter that day. I asked if she had others, to which she replied, No, that they had all been given away, and this was the only and the last one. I didn't have a box or carrier with me, so she said she would return in about 15 minutes. She did, with a cardboard box and the kitten in it. I brought most of my ordered meal home with me and my new kitty. He cried a bit while in transit. But when I got him home and let him out of the box he sniffed around a bit and then made himself at home almost immediately. Then he found the cat food and nearly ate up a half bowl of dry food. Appearently, they hadn't fed him most, if not all of the day, and he was a hungry kitty. And the rest of the story is about the usual adjustments to be made for a kitten.
