Title: Rescue kitties - photos
Post by: Starpixie on February 20, 2010, 20:55:08 PM
I've not been on in a while, I've been super busy.
I now volunteer as a cat cuddler at a rescue  ;D

It's heartbreaking! I want to take them all home. I have totally fallen in love with them all. I wish I could take on more kitties.
Thought you might like some photos

That Fizz is rather handsome though - looks a bit like my Smartie (except my boy has both eyes ) - what happened to his eye ?

He lost it when he was a kitten, not sure how. He's 8 now and it doesn't seem to bother him at all.
He's gorgeous!

What beautiful cats  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: 

It just beggars belief that such gorgeous animals end up in rescue.  They all look so healthy, well adjusted, clean, well groomed etc etc but suppose they didn't all arrive looking that way  :(

A lot of these kitties had been kept in crates in a garage/shed  :( :(
They're doing really well and some have been reserved already, others need more work to get them used to people.

They all look lovely, I have a very local Cat & Kitten Rescue in my village, I really want to volunteer there now my youngest has started school, but I know I would want to bring them all home!!  :naughty:

Muffin again.
He's really scared of open spaces (not surprising as he's spent the last two years in a crate) and hides under his bed. He's very cuddly when he comes out though. I've been sitting further and further away from his bed and nearer to the door each day so that he has to get braver if he wants his cuddles. Today we sat in the doorway to outside for a minute! That's a really big deal for him so he's doing great.

Tootsie is another of the kitties that was kept in a cage in a garage, she was fed lots and had no exercise so the poor girl is huge.
She's playful though and has been reserved so hopefully once she's in a house where she can run about the weight will come off. She wasn't interested in the toys, she wanted my lens cap!

She loves cuddles  ;D

And this is Ginger (or Baby Bella as I call her  ;D) She is four months old and quite nervous around noises. She loves to play though and moves so fast she is impossible to photo!

They are all beautiful, how anyone can mistreat such gorgeous creatures is beyond me  :(

I would love to be a cat fosterer, maybe when the kids are grown and I can devote 100% of my time I will, i'm lucky my other half is very understanding of my love for cats!!
