I LOVE the Gone with the Wind Cats! How cool!
Gus went through a really bratty phase when he liked to hid under the computer and attack my hands as I typed.

I love all of the kitties! I want to give them all hugs. Have any if you seen Fat Cat Art? It's a Russian woman who inserts her fat orange tabby into famous artwork. Google it. You won't regret it

I HAD to share this. Just because this little one is so absolutely adorable, and the way it poses (I don't know if it's a he or a she, the slimness looks more like a she but the countenance more like a he). No matter the gender, the star quality is definitely there.

I do volunteer work with Save A Kitten San Jose (check out our Facebook page!). Friday we managed to find fosters and rescues for 186 kittens and moms (we had a lot of feral moms - the shelter neuters them, then releases them, but the kittens are often not weaned, so we try to find places for the families). This was a record for us! But we had to send little Dusty out to help with supplies...
The part about the 186 kittens and cats is true...
A quick background on SAK - the San Jose Animal Care Center is the biggest animal shelter in the area. Any kitten over a pound, eating and healthy, can stay and will be up for adoption once they are spayed or neutered. Any kitten under a pound, not eating, or under 2 pounds and sick would be euthanized as they do not have the resources to handle them. So we work to find rescues and fosters for these wee little ones. We saved over 5000 last year. Gus came from here. This is his brother Django as a kitten.

Hi CJ, I volunteer for the Seattle Animal Shelter. We have foster parents who are experienced in bottle feeding and care for sick little guys. We received an injured Mom with 5 kittens estimated to be 3 days old. They had been outside and were cold, but we managed to save 2 of them and they're with a bottle feeding foster Mom. The injured cat had to be rushed to surgery, but she's recovering in a different foster home. Despite her injuries she was still attempting to nurse her kittens. Mother instincts are strong!

Aren't they amazing! I love that more and more shelters are doing this. It's wonderful. I'm amazed you managed to save 2 of those kittens - once they are cold, it's hard to bring them about. You have some awesome volunteers!

Thank you to all who volunteer. You do an invaluable service!

Amen to that.
CJ what gorgeous pictures. That is astounding how many kittens you got homes/foster carers for. DH worked in San Jose Mercury News for 4 years in the 1990's. (Had not yet discovered his inner cat man at that time.

This is Harold. AKA Harebear! He's looking out the window! Wonderful kitty left on the side of the road in a box when he was a kitten. Such an amazing guy!!!0 -
Long Live King Harold!

This is my Pris - named for Daryl Hannah's character in Blade Runner, not GWTW Prissy
We drove almost 2 hours to pick her up from the shelter that had her. She was supposed to be a big burly Maine Coon and 8 weeks old. We got there and she was palm sized, so tiny and so scared, weighing not even a pound. She shrunk back from the shelter helpers but scooted right up my arm and nestled in my hair on my shoulder....and STAYED there! No budging her. She picked me
Wasn't until several hours later after we got her settled at home (and finally off my shoulder) that we realized she had just a stubby little tail! She surely would have died at the shelter being sooo small and too young to be away from mama. She is a little fluffball now with a pouffy "bambi" tail. Pris looks like the standard for an American Bobtail but does have a "Cooney" face. She will be 2 next month and weighs 9 1/2 lbs now.0 -
These are from Pris's 1st and 2nd day with us. She was terrified of my German Shepherd Marti at first. As you can see, that didn't last long! Buddies at the vet and dining together....

Hi CJ! Thank you
Your shots of Little Dusty earning her keep made me laugh out loud ~ what a good little kitten! Did Django grow up to have beautiful ears like Gus? Such an adorable little fuzzy wuzzy!0 -
Shep - I LOVE Pris' tail - it makes her unique! Django did grow up to be as handsome as his brother. I still keep in touch with his people - she's a professor at UC Santa Cruz and he's a facilities manager, and they dote on Django. Such a great couple.
Had to share Gus from last night. He likes to sleep between the pillows (I lay one down for him to sleep on - nope, no spoiled kitties here). Good thing he likes belly rubs - that white fluffy belly is tough to resist.

Seachain - thank you! I needed that laugh! I have a Echo Cardiogram today, which I know is no big deal, but for some reason I'm all stressed out - not about the test, but about the test getting in the way of my Saturday routine. I'm such a creature of habit! I'm a total cat at heart.
The Chesapeake Feline Association posted this photo in tribute to Prince, and I thought it was amazing.
