Arrival Story: Rufus and his family came to the shelter as 8 hour old kittens without their mom. They were bottle fed kittens and he was the only one of his litter to survive. I took him when he was seven weeks old while the girl that had been fostering him went to a wedding out of town and I ended up keeping him. He was very tiny, only about the size of a four week old. My male dog, Madison, fell in love with him and they were best buddies for years.

The Last Forum I Posted In: My sweet Friend Ashley Has Made Her Way To The Bridge.
I was so sick Wed, December 23rd. My mom was worried when she went to work that morning. She was lucky that she only had to work until noon that day. She raced home to find I was even sicker than when she left that morning. So she got out that dreaded cage and popped me into it and took me to a strange place that I had never been to. She called it an ER.
I was very unhappy about it and I told everyone that would listen how unhappy I was. Then they took me from my mom and put me in a cage and did awful things to me. They shaved my butt and stuck tubes in me and it just seemed to go on forever and ever.
They tried to feed me but I didn't want it. They gave me medicine that made my mouth foam because it was so bitter. Yuck.
Then this morning my mom came back for me and I was allowed to come home. I am so happy to be in my own home and my nice warm cat beds. I don't even mind seeing my stupid sisters. I still had the awful medicine that makes me foam though. Yuck.
My mom said I am her best Christmas present this year. I believe that is very true.
I went to see da people in white coats today. I told them how unhappy I was about it and I think I scared them. I grabbed and hissed and tried to bite but there was too many of them and I had to give up. Little 9 pound me was a terror to 3 people in horrified my poor human staff. She was overemotional, as usual. Poor thing - I just hate to give her up, she tries pretty hard but she's pretty stupid.
I got my teeth cleaned and to their surprise didn't have to have any removed. They had originally though two molars would have to come out. I'm 14 but I take good care of my teeth.
I must admit I am really glad it is over. I got special canned food tonight and she's trying to make a big fuss over me. I'm going to let it play out and see how much more good stuff I can get before things get back to normal.
The crate came out yesterday and we were all scared but Lucy was grabbed and disappeared for a while. I know my turn is coming though. I heard the staff person talking to someone about a "recheck" for me on my eyes and mouth. She cancelled my dental in August because I was sick and she's scared to put me under for a cleaning 'cuz I'm so small and old but my eyes run a lot and she's worried it is coming from bad teeth so I know I have to go back in November and see what they say. My staff is really worried about it 'cuz she has lost many friend kitties this year and just thinks it's a bad year for kitties. Hopefully I won't require anything more than eye drops on a regular basis. I don't want my teeth cleaned and pulled either.
