I feel absolutely wonderful and I have to share this story

[CatWoman]

A mama cat had kittens on my front porch and they all disappeared, one by one, except one.

This particular one (now about two months old) had a nasty habit of running into the street.

I've had at least four people ring my doorbell to alert me that she was in the street again and running up to people's cars.

She's a friendly, adorable little thing and I was full of angst and fear for her.

I got my cat's pet carrier and placed her in it. i'd clean it in the morning before going to work and in the evening when I got home. I lined it with puppy training pads because i didn't have room to put a litter box in it. MY plan was to try to take her to the Humane Society or find a no kill shelter that would take her.

This went on for about a week and it rained like crazy yesterday. I took advantage of the weather to hose down and scrub the pet carrier.

I thought she would be safe for now as the porch gave her shelter from the rain. I fixed her a box to sleep in and lined it with some throw rugs.

LOL -- What was I thinking????

Anyway, about five minutes ago another neighbor's daughter knocked on the door. Her mom was in her car right in front of the house and wanted to know if they could have the kitten as it seemed so attached to her daughter. The little spit fire actually ran up to the woman's car and started yelling for her daughter to pick her up.

I'm like PLEASE DO and HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Things really have a way of working out. The kitten is now safe and in a forever home, and I can now sleep at night and not worry about her.

7. Pets should always come with a good story.

Her new owners will be telling her story for years to come.

8. So happy for you and the kitty!

I mistakenly took my 2 kids to a shelter years ago to get one kitten.
My son walked by this cage and this little kitten literally threw himself at my son, yowling the whole time. We have always had a black cat and that is why we were at the shelter. This little guy was a beautiful silver tabby.
So when we went back to pick up that one kitten, the tabby did the same thing again. We could not leave him. He knew we were the right family for him
So, we went home with 2 kittens.
He was one of the best cats we ever had.

13. The only thing more fun than a kitten...

...is 2 kittens.

[pazzyanne]

31. Absolutely, and even better if they are littermates!

My 7 year old Hally and Teddy are just so precious together. They play, sleep, groom together. Where one goes the other one soon follows. Of course, I am prejudiced because I have had them since they were about a week old.

9. Yeah!!! I hope you are planning to contact a local Trap, Neuter and Release group for Mom...

I don't know you so maybe you are already part of one.

[CatWoman]

17. i bought my own trap

[Mars and Minerva]

18. You are a Cat Hero!

[CatWoman]

20. the local LifeLine Project offers low cost spaying/neutering

I think they only charge 20 bucks for feral females

[pazzyanne]

32. Most people who are caring for ferals have their own trap

and spay - neuter clinics on speed dial.

[Mars and Minerva]

33. You are very lucky if that is the case around you.

Many people in my area are feeding and "taking care of" feral cats without neutering them. I have had to gently explain why they need to either trap the kitties or (if there are many cats) get help putting a TNR group together.

I'm used to "just checking" so that I can send the appropriate articles and web sites.

10. A very sweet story

May the cat have a long, loving life.

11. Yippee

[KT2000]

12. a great example

of a kitty choosing her family. Thank you for caring for the little thing until she adopted herself out -

[Backseat Driver]

14. Awww...it worked out so well. Great story.

[CatWoman]

23. she is so cute and adorable and I was really bonding with her

but my inside cat has no sense of humor for such things

i started with four indoor cats and am now down to one -- and she thinks she's practically royalty.

15. Kittens are so great. They are part of what makes life worth living.

Seriously.

We've got five cats ranging in age from two that are about 3.5 mos old to an 18 year old tuxedo.

But those kittens! One, a Siamese, comes up and sits on the back of my home office chair while I'm working. He's just cuter than a button. And his sister is a little Tortoise shell face/tabby body. Now, she likes my wife, and when she's in bed that little sweetheart will snuggle right next to her.

16. I wait for cats to adopt me. Has happened twice in my life & once to my father when I was a child.nt

[brewens]

21. One always finds me. My last two courtesy of my long time girlfriend.

I never have picked one and I've had a cat most of the time for 40 years. If I did pick a kitten, I'd go for a male yellow tabby or Siamese.

[SunSeeker]

30. Yep. The best matches are when the cat picks you. nt

[bullwinkle428]

26. Thank you for being so kind to these vulnerable fur-kids!! I adopted an

elderly Persian after losing my 14-year-old to cancer last summer, and her gratitude seems absolutely boundless...almost to the point of annoyance!

29. My cat adopted me like that--came right up to me at a big cat room at an animal shelter.

Best cat I ever had.

The best matches are when the cat picks you.

So happy for the girl and the kitty!
