our new Kitty

[JamesB]

my wife found this little kitten (about 3 months old) running around in traffic. the news paper guy said it had been following him for a few days.

by the looks of it this little kitten was abandon and had no home. he had lots of bug and flee bites and bad spots all over.

the wife took him to the vet to get cleaned up, shots and check out. We are still waiting on the test results for a few of th test so he has to stay locked away in the guest bathroom away form the other cats for a few more days.

he is just as loving as could be and a he is a very sweet kitten

so here is Scooter

Good for you, taking in Scooter like that. He'll make a nice addition to your home.

One word of caution: you may get test results back from the vet which indicate that Scooter has problems which might affect your other cats. Take such results with a grain of salt, and study up online what's really going on before you prematurely decide Scooter will not fit in. It's rarely the high level of risk to the other cats the vets typically discuss.

Thank you for having such a big heart, I'm sure he will greatly reward you with a dead mouse or something hehe. Scooter did scoot into your lives even if he does look like Morris.

Bruce is right if the tests come back with Feline Leukemia and other such problems. I recently went through this again and years ago they said the test was faulty. My vet assured me that was no longer the case, but after reading up on it again in a medical location I found that the test has to be re-run if it comes up positive, even negative because it is not full proof. Even shots against it are not full proof. A lot of the cat population already has it and you never know it unless for some reason they get hurt, sick or stressed which causes their bodies immune system not to be able to suppress it. Most live long happy lives if kept in a happy well fed environment. Main reason I consider valid for keeping them seperate is in case they have rabies which is a rare event in a city but it has happened.

oh I love the my cat hates you site. I submitted a photo of one of our cats, but guess it did not make it.

im sure Scooter will get a good report from the vet tomorrow. but until then they wanted us to keep him separated from the other 2 cats just to be safe

What a cutie! I'm afraid my kits capture rather a lot of my lens time. But when they look at you with those eyes, how can you not?

Congrats! And welcome home, Scooter!
