What a sweet little thing!! Tell Justin I think "JUSTIN" is a great name for the cat.

He is stunning - the beautiful tabby markings and the 'eyeliner' eyes!

Good luck with the other two...hopefully your can livetrap mama cat and get her spayed. She might even be able to be socialized and find a new home herself!

So wonderful for you to do this!

We hope to trap the mama too. We want desperately to get her spayed. I certainly hope we can turn her into a house cat, if not we will release her back into our yard where we can continue to feed her. Mama lives in the the woods next to our house- Justin has seen her on our porch eating the food we set out for them. I know who the daddy is too, but I haven't seen him in awhile- we'd love to trap and neuter him too if we can.

I'll tell him- that may get a bit confusing though.

Congrats!!! He sure is a cutie pie and I hope he receives a clean bill of health. I look forward to seeing more pictures of him and hearing more about him. Good luck with trapping the other kittens and mama.

UPDATE:
We decided to name the kitten "Turtle". I'm not really sure how that name came about- Justin and I were just laying in bed talking the other night and somehow we came up with the name Turtle. It really seems to fit the kitten though.

Turtle saw the vet yesterday and for the most part all is well. He tested negative for feline leukemia! He tested positive for coccidiosis though. We're treating him for that and he will be retested in 2 weeks. We're keeping him separated from our other cats until the coccidiosis is gone.

I hope the next 2 weeks go by quickly, I can't wait to introduce Turtle to the rest of the cats (and the dogs too).

When my sister and I were kids, she had a tabby names Squeak - and she had spots on her tummy, so one nickname was "Turtle Tummy".

I think that is a CUTE name! Glad the checkup went well.

Aw, I'm just catching up after a hectic week here. What a sweet little boy to join a PT home! Hey Turtle, great to see you! Hope you feel better fast! Being a kitten with all that energy, it just isn't right to have to be isolated.
