Foundlings make the best kitties. They seem to know and appreciate the love and care they have suddenly been so lucky to get. Bless you for taking in this little tyke.

What a sweetie! She is lucky to have you.

She is a real cutie. I have a main coon type with long long hair. She came to me at about 3 weeks old. Had her eyes open but wasn't weaned. My daughter went out of her house one morning and heard a kitten yowling and started looking for it. She found it just sitting in the middle of a neighbors yard. No mamma or any other kittens. She called me and asked if I had time to bottle feed it. Of course I did. That cat is something else! Well, I was going to include her pic but couldn't find it. That is what happens everytime my DH "fixes" some thing on my computer!

Thanks you everyone for your kind words. We named the little girl Tigger because she bounces, prances, sprints and leaps everywhere :) She is a happy little kitty and my other two cats Pumpkin ( our 15 month old orange tabby boy) and Ginger (a 6 year old brown tabby) are starting to adjust. Especially Pumpkin is very curious and wants to play with Tigger. We are having supervised visits at this time and are keeping her otherwise in my college students bedroom. That has seemed to be our resident cat nursery. Last year she came home to share her room with Pumpkin :D

Absolutely adorable! and what a generous heart you have. :)

OH MY! I'm in LOVE! The eyes did it.

God bless your kindheartedness. That was so wonderful of you to take her and give her such a loving home. I also had a Main Coon that was found at my doorsteps on a snowy day. We had him for 14 years. Your Tigger looks so sweet and in the bottom picture I could actually see it appear in a Cat Calendar. All but one of my 8 fur babies are rescues or strays that somehow knew which house to adopt....I hope the other kitty found a good home also. Enjoy a Purr...fect holiday. Bea

What a beauty! How thoughtful of you to do this.

What a little sweetheart!

What a nice heartwarming story. Thanks to everyone for "saving" these little ones! Gotta love quilters!

How cute!!! Now find an organizion who will help in getting the kitten fixed for a lower price than your vet. I had 5 kittens born in my yard & I went through an organizaion Freinds of Feral Cats here in NC instead of paying $250 each at my vet , I paid $30 for male and $40 for female. Cats go in heat ever 6 months. Enjoy your adorable kitty.

Thank you for giving this beautiful kitty a home! Enjoy.

You both made out on this happening.
She is beautiful and a very lucky little girl you came along when you did.

She looks just like my Tigger I had 20 years ago, I sure do miss the little fellow, he had a severe ailment, and we had to put him to sleep, but he was our's for 14 years-Thanks for the photo, and congrats to your little girl too, she's got as good home now.

Carol Ann 12-05-2012 03:38 PM

Enjoy your new addition for many happy years to come.

bearisgray 12-05-2012 03:51 PM

She sure is a pretty little thing - bet she grow up to be a regal beauty.

Funny (!) how we sometimes get additions to our families - planned or not!

Quilters are wonderful and you are the best for adopting this little one. What a pretty baby. Keep us posted with pics as she grows up.

Such a beautiful baby. She is a heart stealer for sure.

miss_ticky2 12-07-2012 01:35 PM

Oh my goodness! She is almost the spitting image of our Ticky when she was that age (that's Ticky in my avatar)

mulberryellie 12-07-2012 03:12 PM
