    Well, Rob made me go to the adoption today since he knew I would be miserable if I didn't get to see 'Daisy'. As soon as I saw her I knew I wanted her. At one point Rob was holding her and she was licking my fingers. To me she already looked like a 'large' kitten and will easily outweigh Nakita in no time. I'm so used to a 5 pound cat being average. I will be picking her up next weekend from her foster home. I'm still undecided if I'll keep the name 'Daisy'.

    In the same cage, there was a very beautiful male kitten named Simba. He looked like a peach coloured lion with big paws. All he wanted was headbutts and scritches. I can only imagine how magnificent he will look as an adult. His sister, Nala, was just adopted before I arrived. I could have easily left with 5 cats, but Rob held me back.

    The rescue had 23 kittens for adoption today - all rescued from ONE high kill shelter in Hamilton. Can you imagine how many are put to sleep during a typical week/year because of the irresponsible act of not spaying/neutering your pet.

    I'll place an intro thread on 'Daisy' when I bring her home next weekend. Hopefully Nakita won't be too stressed by the new addition and this will actually help her in the long run. Keep your fingers crossed for me folks!

    I actually forgot my camera today to take some pictures. I have my camera with me all the time but was too excited this morning and only had one thing on my mind.

    Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin.

    Good for you rescuing that precious one! I'm sure Nakita will hiss and swat for a bit, but with time I bet they become best of friends. Then you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Oh- these are wonderful news. You will hvae two kitties as different as mine and both beautiful

    I am not sure whether she should not have a more elegant name than Daisy- she will have to learn that Nakita is the princess- but she is a precious little lady too

    Congratulations

    Daisy obviously was waiting for you to find her! What was meant to be, will be. I think Daisy is a wonderful name, only because we had a Daisy who was a real sweetheart.

    Just think of her as your bright new flower girl!
