Just wanted to share with you all the newest addition to our household. This here is "FredElmo".
My 7 year old son named him, betcha couldn't have figured that out on your own. :-) We went to visit our daughter in Stillwater recently and on the way home we stopped at an animal shelter. I have been doing rescue for over 15 years and just felt compelled to stop at this one. My 7 year old and I went in and looked around and lo and behold this little guy was in a pen looking scared to death. The lady in charge said their shelter was not equipped for cats so they would have to put it down. She said it was a feral cat and I told her we lived over 2 hours away and had no way of transporting the kitten that far if it was wild. She gave us the kitten (for free) and gave us a carrier to take it home with. She was great!
Needless to say, when we finally reached home and let it out, the kitten was not feral at all. The poor thing had just been scared to death because of all the dogs in the kennel. This is the most loving and gentle kitten and is now my 7 year old's first pet. Anytime I am at my desk, he crawls into my shirt, turns itself around and falls asleep.
Thanks for letting us share with you all today. Furry hugs to each of you.
