Subject: And now the good news
Switters is here !!!
Switters is the FeLV+
kitty from New Orleans that was looking for a home
He got to ride all the
way to Vermont in a van that was also bringing
several
other animals up
this way.... It took several days.. a day longer
because the
Blizzard
of 2006 got in-between here and there...30 inches in NYC and
across
Penn..
Only a 1/2 inch up here.... He didn't seem particularly stressed but
wanted out
of his carrier... He kept reaching through the bars and
tugging on my
sleeve...
When we got home I set him on the bed where my
cats came by to sniff and
nobody objected so I let him out... He hissed a
few times when others
got too
close but that was it... Jett took
over his blanky bed that came with
him but
he has tried out all their
sleeping places as well and he jumps down and
claims
his blanky when
Jett gets off...
I had forgotten what its like to
get a young cat in such good condition..
All my cat have been homeless
short timers for the last 3 years...
Jen did all the work this time...He
must have been just a baby when the
hurricane hit and I understand he was
still in the flooded part when they
rescued him a long time after the storm
so I am sure he wasn't the beautiful
cat that he is now....
It would be
interesting to hear more of the details of his New Orleans
experience...
Don't you wish he could tell his story....
He is loved here already and he
along with all the rest of my FeLV+ are
a little on the chubby side... I am
thinking that is a good sign as all
the ones
I have lost have not put
on weight inspite of a good appetite... I guess
that's
a sign that
there is a cancer in there some where and wouldn't it be
nice if
the
ones I have left now will get a good long life.. Keep the paws
crossed...
Tad and
Marie
