Arrival Story:
I told one of my coworkers, who is involved in cat rescue, that I was interested in fostering pregnant cats & raising their kittens. She started sending me emails about local cats in need, and I picked up Anna Magdalena in March 2008. Shortly thereafter, Andrea Previn (then called Brownie) was turned into a local shelter as a stray with 3 kittens. The funny thing was that my coworker had run into Brownie on a previous TNR trip -- at the time Brownie was supposedly the cat of a woman who told my coworker not to take Brownie along with the other strays since Brownie was her cat & she "loved" her. Sometime later, though, Brownie had kittens, and the woman who "loved" her called the pound to come pick up the "stray" cat & her kittens. Unfortunately my coworker didn't find out about this in time to pick up Brownie before she was taken to the shelter -- so Brownie & kittens spent several days in the shelter before my coworker could bail her out. I picked up Brownie and the kittens from my coworker the next day since she was having her house treated for termites the next week, and I ended up keeping her for the duration.
Bio:
I picked up Brownie on April 6, the birthday of conductor/composer/pianist Andre Previn, so I redubbed her Andrea Previn -- it sounds so much more elegant than Brownie! She is friendly with me, but does not like my other cats. She is a very pretty girl -- I think she may have a bit of Abyssinian in her background. Her three kittens are extremely playful and friendly (about 7 weeks old at this writing)-- I'm trying to decide whether to call them Bravissima, Brahms, and Bartok, or Chaos, Entropy, and Scherzando. . . every time I open the door to "their" room -- the kittens run out at warp speed and scatter over the house bouncing and playing! It takes forever to gather them up and get ready to go anywhere! Andrea is a watchful mom, and doesn't take kindly to my other cats. I don't know yet whether that's specifically because of the kittens, or whether she really would prefer to be an only cat. She and the kittens will be available for adoption through the sponsoring rescue group when the kittens are old enough. There is one red classic tabby male, one light grey mackeral tabby girl, and a beautiful darker grey classic tabby girl. Contact me via pmail for more info on adoption. Update 5/31/08- kittens delivered to adoption group but may still be available; pmail me for group's phone number. Mom is still with me and available. Now that she's not having to be a protective mom, she is more tolerant of the other cats, and she loves other kittens.

Today my foster Meowmi stuffed me into a carry-box (and Anna into another one - at least she didn't make us ride together!) -- I was afraid she was taking us to the V-E-T. . . but she took us to a pet food store that has adoption shows on the weekends. . . it was most undignified- we were put into large cages so people could come by and look at us. . . at least there was a comfy bed in the cage. . .
Anna and I were next to each other & just lying in our cages feeling grumpy, when a lady-person came saying she was looking for a lady cat about a year or so old . . . Anna & I were the only ones there that fit the bill . . . foster Meowmi took me out of the cage, and the lady-person sat and held me for a long time. She was very calm, and I felt good just lying in her arms - I may even have fallen asleep a little while. Foster Meowmi also took Anna out of her cage, but the lady-person only wanted to hold me. . .
The lady-person filled out a form, but she said she had to bring her husband to meet me next week before she confirmed everything. The head lady-in-charge was quite happy - she said the lady-person looked like a good match. . . so we'll see if the husband-person & I like each other next week. . . Foster Meowmi says she's a little sad, because she sorta wishes I would stay with her, but I think I'd rather be in a home with not so many other felines. . . and this lady-person seems very nice - she smelled good to me. . .

I was thrilled to receive a Rainbow Star today with a lovely kimi photo creation from Alfie and Furmily! I hope Meowmi can figure out how to put the kimi up on my page - it's so pretty.
