Peeps
The Animal Advocates of Moore County (AAMC) did a huge favor for me. In February, a cat started hanging around my house. It was pretty cold, and I felt bad for her. I started feeding her and tried to coax her into the house. I finally tricked her into coming into the house on her own. I called AAMC to see if they knew of anyone who was missing their cat. She was extremely sweet and a beautiful cat. Someone came to get her, and she was taken to a vet to be checked over. She was such a great cat that I decided to keep her.
About a month after her arrival, Peeps developed paralysis in her back legs. I took her to a few vets to see what could be done for her. They had me convinced that she’d never recover and we’d eventually have to have her euthanized. It was heartbreaking. I emailed AAMC to find out if anyone there had any experience with paralysis in a cat. Barb, from AAMC, actually came to my house and picked her up to take her to their vet! She then kept her for a few weeks while Peeps underwent treatment with steroids (yuck). Peeps was able to walk when she got home! So, I owe AAMC big time.
Today I received a couple of mother cats and their litters of kittens. I think there are 7 kittens. I’d have to count to be sure. I’ll keep them here until homes are found for them all. Fostering these cats is the least I can do to try to repay the folks at AAMC.
Would you like to adopt a kitten?

Beth-
Good for you! Cats are wonderful. Seems we have a lot in common. I recently completed a one year term as president of our county’s humane society. We have 7 rescued cats. Love them all but that is a lot of fur and kitty litter! Pat

They’re wonderful! I’ll be posting more about their kitteny goodness soon.

Ah, Beth, this is more proof of what a wonderful person you are! :-) I have four cats of my own, two of which were rescued from certain death (they were abandoned on our street; the other two lived in neighboring gardens and might have been ok, but are certainly better off in our home)…
I have always wanted to volunteer at the local cat shelter, but I am sure I would begin adopting a million cats, especially ones with problems, and that would not be possible for us at this point…so I have to stay away from temptation. We do contribute whatever we can spare to the cat shelter every year.
Anyway, good luck with those kittens. I hope they are adopted by wonderful caring people.
Ciao!

I love them! I don’t know if I’ll have time for anything else now. It’s too much fun watching them play. I want to set up a kitty-cam. I’ll let you know as soon as I figure out how to do it!

Hi Nicole,
The kittens went to the Animal Advocates of Moore County for homes to be found for them. I was just fostering them for a while. Are you in or near Moore County, NC?

Beth,
Cats are so great at bringing some happiness into our lives. Bless you for giving these a home. I have one now that I adopted from the neighbors last year. They travel to Arizona for the winter and he just did not travel well. The two cats I had for 12+ years both got sick about the same time I did. One had liver problems and the other had lymphoma. I miss them both.
Enjoy the kittens and I hope you can find them good homes soon.
Janet
