Re: And now the good news
All paws crossed here for Switters! Bless you both for taking this baby! I wish him a long life with you. Do tell us in time about his shenanigans at your home since he is a youngster.

RE: And now the good news
Tad, You have made my day! Jen is going to be so happy to hear how well Switters is doing. I talked to her the day after Switters left and she was still crying. She felt so bad because the van came at exactly the same time as the moving van and she had tried so hard to get some quiet time with Switters before he left! She will be real happy to hear how well he's getting along with the other little ones. She said he was just so friendly and tried to make friends with her old cats but they would have none of it and were sort of mean to him! I know you'll hear from her as she gets settled in As for his New Orleans life, Jen found him outside in the rain--totally emaciated and shivering. He was so skinny she thought he was only a few weeks old and only when he plumped up a little did she and the vet realized that he was a little older than they thought. She had him neutered, microchipped and he's had his first shot. I agree with you about his spunk--any little one that could survive all of that has some good genes in there!!! And once again and again and again, thanks to you and Marie for giving this little guy such a wonderful home!

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
