We got them from a Global Pets store in Scarborough where they had found a pregnant female and looked after her, and her kittens, and found homes for all of them for no cost. They are great people! Gary the owner is actually allergic to cats, but managed it anyway - all for the love of animals!. Oh, the two girls are also rescues and pretty much run the house.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029248698287991358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-92190926785064896722019-01-24T14:46:19.873-05:002019-01-24T14:46:19.873-05:00I – along with all those kitties – thank you!I – along with all those kitties – thank you!Clea Simonhttp://www.cleasimon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-5514084862146957142019-01-24T11:37:02.274-05:002019-01-24T11:37:02.274-05:00That's a great story!

Long story short: 1) In 2012 Russell (female kitten) showed interest in us; we caught her and brought her in. 2) Russell's mom, Meeps, had another litter in spring 2013 and then got hurt; we brought her and the litter indoors, kept her and one kitten, Estelle (RIP), found homes for the others. 3, 4) Took in another mom with 4 kittens, kept two of the kittens, Helen and Sophy, rehomed the others; 5)did trap-neuter-return on 2 kittens; one of them, Irene, decided she liked the indoor life; 6,7,8) Irene's sister had kittens on the front porch, we took in the family and ended up keeping the mom, Grace, and 2 kittens, Miles and Mark; 9) Robin, a feral, decided he was a people cat. We're officially maxed out, but still working on trap-neuter-return (our overall total is 35).

Our "Kitty" died of old age last year and a few months later we spent weeks looking for a new cat . . . until we found Lola, a tortie with plenty of attitude, and almost more affection than my husband and I know what to do with. Lola now has many fans on my Facebook page as she's very photogenic. But the best part is that when she's not trying to climb on my keyboard, or play with my mouse, she reigns over my desk by sitting in my inbox. We are so lucky to have them!Sasscer Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855348330942561488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-90847676520284816672019-01-23T09:03:25.033-05:002019-01-23T09:03:25.033-05:00And for what it's worth, I do believe those we...And for what it's worth, I do believe those we love stay with us in some form.

I would love to have a pet but I work over 40 hours a week so the poor thing would be alone and I just don't think that's right. So I have a few teddy bears instead. <br /><br />When we were little we had a couple cats. First one we got on my sister's birthday, a Calico Tabby combination that my sister named wisely named Kit the Cat. The second cat we got what's a rescue cat actually she was a kitten. My brother found it in the creek with a bunch of other kittens. She was solid black so, of course, she was named Panther. Panther seem to have a bit of Siamese in her, she would produce a very distinctive meow\yawl. Kit was the mama cat though she never had kittens and when we had a puppy she taught him how to jump the fence which wasn't a good idea because he got out one time too many. Oh, and he was named Charlie Brown because we lived near Charles Schulz. We're not very original with our pet names are we? Kit lasted a long time, we got her on my sister 6th birthday and she died, unfortunately, on my 21st. I'm not going to say anything else about that. When Mom remarried, we all moved to different homes, Panther wasn't happy with the move and disappeared. After that we didn't have any pets because well we were all grown up and no one was at home after my mother remarried. I moved into complex that said in the rental agreement, and I quote, no pets or dumb animals. When I visit my sister I get to be around her pets. They name their dogs after grandparents. There has been a Homer, Cecil, Dez and Stella. She has one cat that I'm not very fond of, it started out as Victoria and has morphed into Vicious. I think I'll stick with my bears for now. They don't eat much, are always around when you need something to cuddle and they don't make a mess. Maybe someday I'll get a cat again. When I work less hours and can find a place to live where I can have pets or dumb animals.

I had a calico growing up, so it was meant to be. I was surfing twitter one day and the Animal Rescue League of Boston posted her picture saying they had just picked this one up off the streets of Dorchester.<br /><br />Within 10 minutes I had called the shelter and asked for her avaiability. I picked her up that weekend, after she got her surgery and introduced her to my two eldest. She basically had the run of one room, and after about a week I let her out into the world of the house. She acclimated right away. Two years later, she's now 20 lbs....probably a Norwegian Forest Cat (a weegie!) and loves her Gray brother the mostest. All three are rescues, and I wouldn't have it any other way!nasselinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889683331674809765noreply@blogger.com
