From mommy's journal...

a cats life
Mommy wanted me to pass this to all my feline and human friends...very urgant!!!

If you are interested or know someone who might be, please let me know. I am willing to drive to you if you are within 30-40 miles of me...unless you are further and would be willing to meet halfway. I'm in Blackwood, NJ.

Background....
I came home from work (Petco) and I heard a faint almost nonexistant meow from the bush. At first I didn't think anything of it but then I went to look for Mr. Smokey...they stray so many of you have donated money to save...which is in full forse mind you!!! Thanks bunches. Anywho, I looked in teh bushes, and found a little baby stuck in the dirt about face down, cold, shaking and dirty to high hell. So me being the animal lover I am I scooped him up and brought him in. I imidiately warmed a blankie for him and wrapped him up. Then I put him in the carrier and tried to get him to drink water cause at the time thats all I had. I then called my job and told my boss what I found....she told me to come back in and they would have supplies for me. I rush over there and get kitten food, special formulated milk we use for ferrets, but is still good for kittens, a throw away litter pan and litter. Rushed home and put the milk on my fingers till he came around and started to nurse off my finger. My guess he was abandoned from the momma or something terrible happen to her and the others.
I then gave him a bath...yes yell at me but I used a tiny amount of flea bath stuff....he was pretty bad. So far so good, no probs with the flea bath stuff...no sickness, so that went fine. Over the next half hour he slowly came around...and by time I got Dave (fiance) home he was out and about and playful. So now he and the kitties play, especialy him and Jak, and he is healthy as can be.

Here is the little booger!

We've named him Roudy, but of course you can change that. :)


Bottle feeding him milk, though he loves his ukanueba dry kitten food.


This one makes him look bigger then he is. He can fit inside a ballcap and still have room to spread out a little.


Him sleeping in [info]mrjoed's blankie.


Another in the blankie.


[info]mrjoed playing with him and keeping him clean...I swear he is a mom to everything that comes in this house, wether it be a cat or even a Hampster.


Gotta stay clean for my potential slaves......erm, owners....


Hampster balls are fun!


I'm sooo freakin cute I can't stand it anymore! And look at my pretty claws!...they are huge, I promice not to hurt you though!


Come here, let me give you kisses....which my the way he does that to me all the time. I love it.


This is his set up in the carrier. He has a glass litter pan, and two short glasses, one with water and one with food, then a comfty towel to chill on, with a nice canopy thing over his head for added warmth and keeping out drafts.


I hope someone will consider taking him. HE is about 6 to 8 weeks old....but I think maybe younger...unfortunately. He has had some worming liquids and is doing fine so far. No fleas...anymore. Maybe a couple strays but thats normal for kittens. He is mostly grey with very distinct tabby markings...soooooo for those who have been wondering about Mr. Smokey, whom has gotten tons of donations and wishes of luck to be healthy and find a home is declared the daddy of this little creation.

I seen a momma cat a while ago, pregnant, and she hung around the area that Smokey always is...and him not fixed it's only obviouse they had relations and now they have a kid together. He has Smokeys grey color and green eyes and had the tabby markings of his momma. No clue where the other babies are, I doubt they made it, but I'm sure if I can unite Smokey and his baby it will be fun to watch them together.

If you can help him out please do! I can't keep him due to us having the other kitties and Dave saying no more...though he really likes him. I see the look in his eyes, an dI just know he does, but I am going to agree and say no more, we can't afford the vet bills of THREE cats. My boys come first....so I hope you can help out...let me know.

If anyone wants update pics of Smokey email me and I will send them over!

Thanks for reading this whole thing!!!!! Joe and Jak say hello to all there kitty friends!

He is so handsome! A chum of mine wants a kitty, but we're in CA and I doubt you'd be willing to drive/ship that kitty out here! You're doing a great thing, and yay@Joe being everyone's big brother.
