Got an email the other day from someone that need a cat rescue. Specifically for an orphaned kitten that was still on a bottle. I can never quite figure out what people are thinking when they contact us for animals that are not border collies, but they do (today it was to adopt a Boston Terrier??).
Anyway, this time I bit. I mean, who could resist this face?
Having never bottle fed a kitten before, I was in for a real treat. This little girl is feisty, and she wants it her way, so we argue a bit about who is holding the bottle, and how it is being held before she actually settles in and chugs down the formula.
When things are all said and done, she does have a messy face. Cute, but messy. And my oh my, you should see what she does with a bowl of food. Good thing she is already into cleaning herself!
And here she is meeting Mama Cass. I had really hoped Cass would take to her as she is a good cleaner, she throws Gin-cat down on occasion and cleans her up nicely.
Tomorrow my adventure ends when little girl goes into foster, and then eventually on to her forever home. Yes, little girl already has a permanent home and will move there once she is weaned, has been socialised well with the resident cats and has been vetted.
Next time you are thinking of adopting a cat...think of us. Mid-Atlantic Border CAT Rescue.
