The photo shown above is our new baby kitten :) My husband picked me up for lunch today and we were traveling on a state route when I spotted a baby kitten on the side of the road. She was walking in the gravel next to the road in the middle of a snow storm! Gary stopped the van and the car behind us stopped as well. The young man in the car behind us jumped out and scooped her up before she ran off. He asked me if I could keep her, take care of her, and love her. He wanted to but he couldn't keep her. I told him that I would take her to our vet's office and have her checked. The poor little thing was so cold, she was shaking and crying :( Her eyes were matted shut with mucus and mud. Fortunately for us and her, our vet was about 50 yards down the road so we pulled in. After a thorough exam which she didn't really care for, she has a bad cold :( but otherwise she is healthy. The vet cleaned her up and clipped her claws. She is between 7 and 8 weeks old, weighs 1 pound 10 ounces, and she has slept so sound all afternoon. Until she recovers from the cold, we have to keep her separated from our other cats. Right now, she is with our daughter in her bedroom. We haven't named the kitten yet because we want to see her personality. So far, she is fiesty and talkative.
This may sound strange to some people, but I believe that our cat Trouble who passed away a week ago after suffering a cat stroke, sent this sweet baby kitten to us. I will always miss Trouble but this baby makes me smile. It feels right that she should join our family. God works in mysterious ways.
Cute picture and I'm so glad you were blessed!
ReplyDeleteWe named her Belle :) because she is a beautiful blessing and sweet natured. Hard to imagine that she fit in one hand the day that we found her and now she is two hand fulls LOL! Belle has been a wonderful addition to our family and we truly are blessed. Thanks Rosemary :) you make me smile.

ReplyDeleteI am also VERY fortunate as I know you must be a lovely women. BTW: we are about the same age. I put on you newest post that I had put my address for your news letters. I am also on FB. Since I can't remember which kits I commented on I figure perhaps we could just get in touch.
