For the past month or so i have been wanting to get a second cat. I was kind of hoping i would just come across one, but after some debating i filled out an adoption application for a city rescue yesterday.
Today when i got home from work i saw that something had dug through the trash on my porch and licked clean an empty can of cat food.
I was sitting inside watching tv and then i saw the culprit... A pretty grey and white cat, with a big round belly. I stood up, and she saw me, and turned around and ran into some bushes. I heated up some EVO and went outside with it. I sat outside for a minute and then i heard a little mew from the bushes. She poked her head out and must have smelled the food, because she stood mewing and watching me for about 30 seconds, then slowly made her way over and dove in. She was hungry, i had to take it away from her because she started gagging she was eating so fast. She warmed up to me pretty quickly, let me pet her head and rubbed up against me when i took her food bowl away. I ran inside and got my carrier, put the foodbowl i side and was able to get her in it.
So , here we are. At the vet getting scanned for a microchip, tested and xrays
. I hope everything is okay so i can keep her. The vet said she thinks she feels one kitten. She also said she doesnt seem to be producing milk, which is good because i was scared she may have had kittens outside somewhere.
I am not looking forward to telling the rescue that i may not be able to adopt a cat now
im sure they will be happy that i am helping this one though. I will keep you all updated, wish me luck
we are calling her Moma for now
