I have 3 rescue kittehs--Cranky Nigel, just turned 20, gray & white medium hair. A friend of my late husband rescued him from the mean streets when he was 6 months old & he's been a member of the family ever since. Sammy, 3, is a tiny little brown spotted & striped tabby. She weighs only 5 pounds, but eats like a little pig. A co-worker found her in the woods when she was 4 weeks old. Some creep had dropped her off to fend for herself. She came up to my co-worker, screaming, skinny, flea-bitten and filthy. The woman has a severe cat allergy, so she couldn't keep Sammy. I was the lucky one to take her. To this day I don't know how my little girl survived out in the woods all by herself without becoming a coyote snack! I found my baby, Otis, 2, on the electronic barter board at work. Someone had taken in 2 stray cats & after a couple of weeks, discovered that BOTH of them were pregnant. All of a sudden, instead of 2 kitties, the woman had 12. Otis & Sammy look like twins, except Otis is a huge boy at 20 pounds. They aren't related, though, because they were rescued about 70 miles from each other.
Thanks for sharing and welcome to DU!
