Found me!

Well, it seems that I have been adopted by another kitty. Last night
during a very wet rainstorm, I heard howling outside. I went to the
door and in strolled this very wet and dirty black and white tuxedo
kitten. She looks about 3-4 months old, you know, bigger than a bitty,
but not quite teenager size? Very friendly. She let me pick her up
and bring her inside, where I dried her off and gave her food (which
she ignored). She doesn't look starved or hurt in anyway, and I see
no indication of surgery. I'm just making a wild assumption here that
she's female.

Problem is, Rita HATES her. There's a lot of hissing going on. This is
only a one-bedroom apartment, for pete's sake! I've contacted paw-rescue.org
to see if they can help. I'd be happy to foster her and get her checked
out and spayed, but keeping her is out of the question. I'm allergic,
and one cat is bad enough in this small apartment. She's friendly
and adorable, so she should be easy to find a home for. Meanwhile, I
guess Rita will just have to put up with her for now.

I've named her Emily, and will post pictures when I get some.

It's no good resisting, Jane. You now have another cat.
This is how it always happens.. ;-)

Might be worth advertising her as found. If she wasn't hungry and was
generally in good shape, it could be that she's someones pet and she
sneaked out by mistake.

There's a cat called Basil, who lives 3 doors down and is a much loved
pet. He also looks like he's been dragged through a hedge and tries to
crack on he's a poor starving waif of a stray. (He's not). When i first
moved in, i was fooled, until I tied a note to his neck and his mom was
around post haste to say that it was his M.O. to crack on he was dying
of hunger and was unloved.

Welcome to the new addition, any road. ;o)

good luck in finding Kitty's home. If she hasn't got one, well, it
took Nox a good month to stop hissing at Smokey, and she'll still hiss
if he's within ten inches of her.. 3+ years later....but a truce of
sorts has been reached.

I think 2 cats in a 1 bedroom apartment is okay...we've got 4 in a
2-bedroom.

As for allergies though, I foresee you spending quality time with your
vaccuum cleaner.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for Emily to find her onetruehome
really soon - and we are very much looking forward to the pics of her,

I have 3 cats in a one-bedroom apartment, but then they have the outside
enclosure too. Miranda hissed at Caliban for a week, then they started
playing together, then they started sleeping and cuddling together.
Purrs for Emily (you do know that if you name them, you keep them, don't
you?) to find a good home, whether with you or with someone else.

Emily has been renamed Stormy - because she was found in a storm.
It seems to fit.

Thursday morning my dentist's receptionist (a lovely young woman)
called to remind me of my saturday appt. No problem. Then she
asked, 'I've been looking for a kitten. Do you know anyone who
has a kitten?'

Ah-ha! NOW I know why Stormy came to find me. She needed to be
taken to her new home!

As for having a home in the complex...I suppose it's a possibility,
but I've seen this kitten and a sibling around several times. I suspect
they have been tossed. They are just past that 'cute kitten stage',
which is prime time for tossing.
So I'm going to try and get her into my vet this evening for a quickie
checkup, and she's going north with me on Saturday for her onetruehome.
She'll be living with another cat and a d*g, so she won't be lonely,
and her staff knows quite well how to care for rulers of the feline
variety.

Pictures are on www.picturetrail.com, member ladyjaneinmd, album Stormy.

Oh, Stormy is a good name for her! She's a lucky kitty. Hope this
turns out to be a forever home for her.

What a cutie!!! Wow. That never happens to people. "I need a kitten" right
when you've found one! That is fate.

She's beautiful, but for a minute there when I saw the first picture
in the album I wondered how you got a picture of Tigger.
Purrs and Hugs,
