And now we can haz kitteh!
Oh lordy. We got a frantic phone call at 11pm from DD20 about a week ago. She found a little kitten in front of her boyfriend's apartment. He already has 2 cats, so that was a no-go. She had already tried to reach a rescue group, but couldn't get anyone. So she begged us to let her bring us home.
DH has severe lung disease and both of us are allergic to cats. Oy! what am I'm getting into??
You know what I did, right? Yes. We now have a very small kitty living in our basement. DD has moved her camping mat and sleeping bag down there and plans to move the rest of her stuff down there once we get it painted.
The kitty is really adorable--a red long-haired tabby, possibly a red Maine Coon. She's very sociable and knows how to use a litter box, so obviously someone has been caring for her. I think probably somebody dropped off this litter of kittens at the apt thinking that they'd get taken in. DD was going to try to find a home for it, but once she named it, you know....So, Data is now a member of the family.
I am really proud of my DD. She found a low-cost cat clinic and took the kitty there for a vet check and vaccines. The vet tested her and says the kitty is clean, somewhere between 4 & 8 weeks old. So she's going to be spayed next month to give her a little more time.
Data is really a cutie. If I can get DD to help me upload a picture I will. We haven't tried to introduce her to Tiki, our highly prey-driven neurotic Bichon. Maybe later, when the cat has some size on her.
