I'm adopting a kitten

Awww... what a sweet baby and survivor.

How's he doing today?

Thanks for keeping us updated. He is a lucky little fellow to have found his way to you. And he doesn't even know the best part yet! Wait until he gets home and learns what it's like to live the pampered life of an indoor kitty! What a difference from his rough start!

Thanks for taking him in and ensuring that gets the love he needs now. Great job

Lizbud,
Your last post brought tears to my eyes. You are doing wonderful things for this kitty and you'll always feel bonded because of his early injuries. He'll get better and your furkids wont notice any difference at all.

I can't wait until he's able to come home. Please let us know how the introductions go.

Congrats on the new furbaby!!

Kim, He's doing much better today. I called today early but
my Vet had not had a chance to check him over again today
for release to come home. I went by the office after work &
Dr. said he's ready, he check's out fine.It was feeding time for
all the dogs & cats staying there & he was about to be fed by
the vet tech. He looks very good.The bad eye even looks much
better today.He was able to focus it several times while I was
there & he was more active. They are keeping him tonight to
do the worming & he can come home tomorrow. I'm so excited.
I've been practicing names this evening. Walking around saying
Lucky..... Noah....Timmy... & guess what? Smokey answered to
all of them, I am so happy. Only hope it goes well with the
other kitties in the morning when they meet their new brother.

Liz, this is wonderful news. I can't wait to see his pic and hear more about him. Hopefully your other cats will like him. I'm sure they will with time. Good luck. I'm also curious about the name you've picked out for him.

That's too cute liz!
I'm glad to hear he's been doing so well. I hope things go great when you bring him home

Silly Smokey!!

I'm so glad the kitten is doing better. Keep us uppiedated!!! (And a few pics wouldn't hurt either. )

Just a small update on the new fella. He's doing great. He does
not seem to have issues with other kitties. I just knew he was
a sweet, innocent little guy. All the other cats came around
the carrier to sniff him out when we came in this morning. Redbud
Mikey &,Blackie sniffed a few minutes & left to watch from a
distance, Punkin however touched noses with him & seemed
very eagar to meet him. As I readied the cage ( old puppy cage)
for Joey, Punkin sat right there & watched the whole time &
stayed afterwards to play with his mousie toys next to the cage.
Punkin has been hanging around & laying close by him ever since.
Red, Mikey & Blackie ( the senior cats at 4 yrs old) are keeping
their distance for now. Punkin at 1 1/2 yrs seems to feel he has
a new play buddy. So far so good at our house.

I bought a puppy crate with the idea of crate training Buddy
many years ago only to find when I got it home, it was way
to small for a fast growing pup like Bud. I kept it anyway & it's
really come in handy as a temp. housing for the other kitties
(like Blackie & Punkin) when they first came to live here. Oh
I did settle on the name Joey for him. After spending time with
him for one whole day inside & checking out his nature, he's
a Joey for sure. It fits his sweet nature so well.

Yay!! I'm so happy for you and baby Joey. I can't wait to see the little guy. What you've done for him is amazing, you should be proud of yourself.

Bless you sweet angel Liz for taking in and caring for this precious little kitty. I just finished reading all the posts and for sure, this little one would have died had he not come looking to you for comfort.

I'm so happy to hear that he is doing well.
Can't wait to see pictures of your new little Joey.

[Steffi N]

Thank you for taking care of little Joey and giving him a forever home.

[kimlovescats]

Oh what a wonderful story with a happy ending!!! I can't wait to see little Joey... bless you, Lizbud!

[jenluckenbach]

[anna_66]

Sounds as if Joey and Punkin are going to be good friends
I'm glad to hear everything went so well!
