Arrival Story: It was a big day at the shelter I lived at. They were having an Adoptathon, and I was hanging from my cage door, and stepping into my water bowl in my little cage, trying to get someone's attention to adopt me when a volunteer there found out I was too little to adopt (under 2 pounds) and I heard her say she would take me home to foster me until I was fat(!) enough to be adopted. So I went home with this strange lady, and I began to make my plans as to how I could get her to keep me. (hee-hee...)
Bio: I was an underweight kitten at the Pima County Animal Care Center, with my siblings, who were orange tabbies and weighed more than me. It's a wonder I lasted because I was only being fed dry, hard, BIG kibble that was too big for me to even chew! That's why I was climbing my cage door - trying to tell somebody that I was HUNGRY, and needed some food I could eat! I also had problems even drinking water...it seems my nose stuck out so much that when I tried to drink, my nose got in the water before my tongue could! You can even see it in my kitten pictures, that I have wet food dried all over my nose, because my nose kept getting in the way when I ate. Mom couldn't tell for the longest time where my nose started and ended because it was always caked with food on it! I bit ALOT too when I was little, only because I had always been SO HUNGRY! But I drew blood alot on Mom, cause I really dug in when I bit. So Mom was afraid to take me back to the shelter after she got me to 2 lbs., cause if I happened to bite someone there, there was a good chance they would put me down. Plus, lots of the cats there were sick, and if I got sick after Mom brought me back...same thing! So, Mom just couldn't take me back there. I'm so glad she didn't!

My furriend Elise tagged me to play the 2009 "Get to Know Your Pals" diary tag! How fun! There are 10 questions to answer...
Here are the ten questions and my answers.
1) What color is your collar?
I usually don't wear one, but our house is up for sale so Mom put collars on all us kitties in case we accidentally get outside (but I have a microchip, too). Anyway...my collar is red with little paw prints on it.
2) What kind of food do you eat?
I eat both dry cat food like Purina One and canned Friskies food.
3) What are your favorite treats?
I don't usually eat any kind of cat treats, (Jasper likes them) but I do like cooked chicken and I like cheese
4) Do you have a Valentine or significant other?
Yes...my kitty girlfriend is Filly the Swift of Rohan, we are dating but Mom says I am still too young for anything more serious.
5) Do you get table scraps?
Uh-huh! I sometimes get cooked chicken, but that's about all I like.
6) What is your favorite toy?
Jasper, my big brother! I don't play with any other toys, even though mom keeps trying. I would rather wrestle with Jasper!
7) When is your birthday?
It is May 20th, 2007 or close to it!
8) How many times a day do you eat?
Mom feeds us 3 times a day, dry food for breakfast, canned food for lunch and dry for dinner. But there is always some dry food out. I go to all the kitties bowls after they are done and eat their leftovers.
9) Do you have a favorite color?
I guess it is silver, because I am silver
10) Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary?
You bet! I hope the pals I tag play so I can get to know them better!
Now it's your turn to play! Copy these questions and type your answers, then post them in your diary!

Mom wants to tell all you wonderful Catster friends that she can not even begin to thank you enough all for your support and help after such a terrible thing happened to her foster kittens.
She honestly could not have made it through these last 3 days without the Catster community and each and every one of you who responded to this horrific deed.
Mom appreciates every single letter, call or email you have sent to PACC. She hopes that somehow, some way, that shelter can change for the better. The animals there deserve so much better.
Mom is extremely heartbroken over the whole incident, and needs to let it go and move on. It is too emotionally difficult for her.
Mom talked with a lawyer friend yesterday. The cold hard fact is that the kittens were never legally mom's, that they were the shelters "property" all the while mom was fostering them. The shelter had the right to do whatever they wanted with the kittens, and they did. Mom had no legal rights over them.
That does not take away the OTHER fact that what the shelter DID do was a hideous and completely avoidable act. All they had to do was call Mom if they were having trouble with the kittens and she would have fostered them longer or adopted them herself and then found homes for them.
Nothing can bring these kittens back.
They were sweet, and used their litter box without ever being trained! It was so amazing to see! They just jumped right in it and starting using it all on their own! They were so smart, and it was so incredible to see each of their little personalities begining to shine through. They were such a gift to Mom and a priviledge to take care of.
Mom went into their "nursery" (our spare bedroom that they had all for their own) this afternoon, and it still has their sweet scent in it. Mom is still trying to come to grips with the fact that their 5 little lives were wiped off the face of the earth last Thursday. Mom can't stop crying...
Wow! The last foster kitten is finally off that stupid bottle! YAY!!! All 5 of them are doing really well, and growing by leaps and bounds! They are all using their litter box (YES!) and now eating both wet and dry kitten chow. Their little personalities are already shining through, and now Mom is asking all you Catster friends to send the very best wishes and purrayers that they all will find a forever home. When they are old enough, Mom is going to post them on Catster in the Adoptable Cats section - maybe they can find a home that way! There are pics of them on all our family's pages if you want to see how they have grown!
