28. my kitten and her brother were abandoned by their mom
Fri Jun 3, 2016, 01:31 PM
Jun 2016

Turns out she was only 3 months old when I got her, and she's the light of my life.
She had a rough first 3 months though.
Her mother abandoned the litter, and only she and her brother survived.
The family that owned them hand fed them. when she could eat food herself she was bullied by the other animals in the house.
that's where I came in.
She was posted on craigs list as half ragdoll, I was looking for a ragdoll as they tend to be mellow cats.
she's probably not, but I don't care. she's the most loving, trusting kitty i've ever seen.
She's black with a few stray white hairs and a healthy 7 pounds last she was checked.
She has done more for my mental health than all the therapists and prozac.
My friend who's a dog person says she's awesome! lol

Those pictures hurt to see because that is a beautiful cat and in one, it was clear one kitten understood things.
I hope karma comes down like a planet on the asshole who hurt that mama cat, and I hope they all find a good home.
