Well, I have kept the secret until the arrival date which was today. Keegan and Kylie have a new sister!!
Baby Kloe is an approximately 7 week old Tortieshell/calico.
Her momma had a litter in my best friends porch, this poor momma cat gets pregnant everytime she goes into heat. But she is semi feral and they can't get near her and she is not really their cat. She just shows up has babies and goes off again. They have kept 3 of her babies from 2 different litters. They got the first 2 fixed, and the other one is going to be soon.
Well, anyway, I happened to be over at their house one day and out came the kittens. There was a buff, tiger, dilute tortie, and this little tortie. They had eye infections at the time, their little eyes were all matted shut, so my friend was giving them some penicillian. I said "if this one lives, I will take her" so they gave her some more antibiotic and got the whole litter cleared up.
That was the Friday BEFORE Labor Day, the 3rd. The momma got mad her my friends youngest daughter (who does NOT listen for anything) and moved the litter which caused quite the ruckus.
I think she ended up moving them twice. Well, last Sunday I got home from a weekend at my parent's house and I got a panicked call from my friend, she was crying and very very upset. Telling me to come over right away to get Kloe b/c her GSD got loose and got into the litter and killed all the babies except Kloe, who was hiding in the bushes. Then he went after Lorrie's older daughter and then after Lorrie. He has never ever been a nice dog. This litter made 11 cats that he had killed. I think he had the taste of the kill and enjoyed it. Unfortunately due to his temperment, he went to the Humane Society, and am not sure what has happened to him. Please, I don't want to be lambasted for what happened to Chief, just trust me on the fact, when I say he was not a friendly or nice dog, and I would never ever ever have turned my back on him or gotten out of the car at their house if he were loose. Yes, he was an outside dog, and I do not agree with that at all, but he is NOT MY dog, and it is too late now. I do not say it lightly that he was not a nice dog, b/c I don't believe in disposable pets, and neither does my friend, but it wasn't the first time he had went after her kids.
ANYHOO, we decided she would benefit spending another week with her mom, so they made a nice little nest for her and Momma fed her very well with field mice this week, and she also got kitten chow.Lorrie said one morning there were 10 mice in the carrier! Well, I made an appt for her b/c I wanted her to be tested for FIV before she came home. So I went and picked her up today, and Lorrie and I took her to the vet. She is healthy, has a bit of URI still and herpes infection. Her FIV was negative and she was FULL OF FLEAS. So as soon as we came in the door after Keegan pottied, Mizz Kloe got a bath!! Actually 2 baths b/c the first one didn't get all of them off of her.
I am a bit nervous about what people will think b/c of her age, but I wanted to get her cleaned up as soon as possible. (Kylie has rodent ulcer from being bit by fleas as a kitten and do not want it to happen to Kloe, may already be too late.
Keegan is doing beautifully with her, very gently sniffing her.
Kylie on the other hand is PI$$ED!!! She hisses at Kloe everytime she sees her, then she hisses at Keegan then she hisses at me.
Kloe even growled back her !!!
I can't wait to see what she grows into.
Without further ado here is the link to the alblum.
The first 21 pics are of her last week, she crawled up to my neck and slept. Please don't mind the pics of my bathroom with my ahem clothes! I can't crop them down!!
