Back In Black

***We interrupt our regularly scheduled Mancat Monday post for some important news***
Meet our newest foster kitten, yet to be named. Our man servant did a marathon trapping session Saturday night/Sunday morning to try to get Reilly and Sebastian's mom. He set the traps and checked them about every hour. When he checked the traps at around 1:30am, this is what he found! He continued to check the set traps until 9am on Sunday morning, in the pouring rain, but momma cat never showed up.
This kitten is around 9-10 weeks, full of floof and sweet as can be! They had to give him/her a bath and the kitten actually purred the whole time and didn't try to escape the tub! What the? That's just not normal!

Anyway, the kitten's tummy is about 3 times the normal size and very tight.....a good sign of worms. So with the help of a friend, they de-wormed and de-flead (sp?) the kitten. They will be fostering it until a new foster or adoption family can be found......hopefully not long!

What a sweet kitten! It's a real advantage to get them while they're young and still learning. It seems he tends to be sociable naturally.

I hope you can find the right name for him very soon. He's going to grow into a very handsome mancat, you can tell already.

This guy is the cutest thing - and I can't believe he didn't mind having a bath - what a good cat!

Yay for the man servant - how nice of him to go out in the rain to help the kitties. We hope you are able to trap the mom.

Oh that lucky kitten to be found and hopefully will go to a wonderful home!

Sam and Andy said...

I know how wonderful it is that there are people like you out there to rescue some of us.......I was rescued when I was just a "tadpole"....:)

Mom used to do rescue work but now that she lives in an apartment, they won't allow her to have more than 2 of us, and Sam and I won't let her give us up!!!!!!

BTW, Mom says the new little guy looks so much like Sammy when he was that age.

He is very very cute. I hope he can find a good forever home. Black kittens have a hard time finding homes here. But that kitten is lucky to have been found, especially with a tummy full of worms. (Yuck!)

Also, Mom and Dad really like your claw-foot tub (or would that be a paw-foot tub?).

So cute! I have a soft spot for black kittens! S/he reminds me of Coal, Max, Salem, Midnight and Roadrunner when they were kittens, except they were all small than your foster baby. S/he wanted a bath so s/he could look good for the first photoshoot! I'm sure a purrfect furever home will be found soon! Bless you for helping God's little creatures.
