Well sort of... my son found this 4 week old kitten (1 pound) and the poor little guy was in bad shape so we took him to the vet. Dr drained 12 cc's of fluid from is lung, treated him for parasites gave him his shots etc..
We now have him at my house. He's 4 months old and a healthy spunky little 5 pound boy. His name is Rocko. Here's pics of before and now.

OH he is so cute....the mouse in the box almost looks real!

What a lovely person you are. Rocko knew what door to "knock on" to find a loving home.

Please give him a big hug from me.

What beautiful coloring and markings!! Bless you for taking this little fellow in and making him part of your fur crew!! Looks like the little ones are enjoying him too!!!

quilttiger 01-11-2013 05:03 PM

What a gorgeous kitten! Looks like you have a special friend for life!

barri1 01-11-2013 05:07 PM

He looks great.

AuntieD 01-11-2013 05:09 PM

He is a beautiful cat!

TnBecky 01-11-2013 05:15 PM

He is soooooo handsome. He is a lucky boy to have you as his family. He looks like he could have some "Bengal" in him. Glad that you gave him a good home & a chance for a happy life. God Bless. :thumbup:

sewnsewer2 01-11-2013 06:02 PM

Yes, he is definaltely a grandma's boy :D I told my son today that he can't have him back. He likes it here too much. My 3 older cats (almost 3 yrs old) are getting used to him. My son has 2 other kittens, not blood related to Rocko.

MarLeClair 01-11-2013 06:06 PM

Oh, you done good, grandma.

You know that you are going to have to update your avatar. LOL. You may need a bigger chair to get a picture of all four together. :D

Not anytime soon. They will eat together but that's it for now. Tigger and Rocko are starting to play, but the other two haven't gotten that far yet.

Here's my other babies.

lynnie 01-11-2013 06:37 PM

What a cutie and arent you and he lucky to have each other.

Hopefully they will grow to love each other. Your cats are all so beautiful, but I love the gray & black with the beautiful green eyes. That picture just grabs at my heart. I have six furbabies inside & one outside that someone threw away. She is becoming a loving baby. Enjoy all your blessing's, wether they have two legs or four. :thumbup:

anniesews 01-12-2013 04:50 AM

It is so nice to read about people like you who do good things for the little furry bodies that someone else has discarded. Thank you from all pet lovers.

We found a kitten about the same age in our garage. He was about a pound, too. He was so skinny when we took him to the vets for shots, they ran him through with the needle! Here he is today. His name's Daniel Jackson (anyone else a Stargate fan?)

He is a cutie, & yes I loved Stargate. I just want to know how you get him to hang upside down for the picture. LOL. Just kidding. There are so many lucky animals out there & still so many that need good homes.

llong0233 01-12-2013 08:13 AM

Wow, Rocko is beautiful. He has very interesting striping, beautiful ears and he sure appears to be tolerant.You and he are very lucky!

And he stands on his head pretty well too. :D
He's pretty!

God Bless you for saving this poor little fellow! What a change your care has made in him! He looks so sweet and playful now. I love the pic where your granddaughter has him in her doll stroller!

sewnut 01-12-2013 10:24 AM

Oh, what a sweet baby. Perfect addition to your family. I have a kitty too. He's a manx orange tabby mix and so sweet.

caspharm 01-12-2013 10:29 AM

Very cute! I agree, he does look part Bengal.

nannyrick 01-12-2013 10:54 AM

He is just adorable. He is lucky to have found you.

MimiBug123 01-12-2013 11:16 AM

Animals just know who to come to when they need help. I'm sure you and Rocko will love each other for many years to come.

Roberta 01-12-2013 11:35 AM

Bless you for giving him a chance at life. I bet he's one happy little kitty now.

Nan C 01-12-2013 01:39 PM

AWWW and bless you for taking him in.....we need more people like you in the world. :)

Caswews 01-12-2013 06:58 PM

Ditter43 01-12-2013 07:49 PM

Awww, he's adorable!! Drown a flea for me......

DebbE 01-12-2013 08:03 PM

Bless you for taking care of his health needs and giving him a happy life -- so few people do that it makes me so sad.
Your little one looks very healthy and happy and wow, what gorgeous coloring he has! Animals that have been rescued like yours was (and our newest one) are so thankful for their happy life, and they add such joy to our lives, don't they? God bless you for that!

sewnsewer2 01-13-2013 05:24 AM

Thanks, All of my kitties are rescues. My son has 2 that are rescues and my sister has 7 rescues!

nstitches4u 01-13-2013 01:08 PM

What a cutie! He is so lucky that you rescued him.

damaquilts 01-13-2013 02:03 PM

He looks great now.

JanieH 01-13-2013 02:28 PM

What a happy ending for all of you!

Rose S. 01-13-2013 03:27 PM

What a beautiful boy he is!
