hello everyone!

my name is Brie(bird) and i have a year old orange tabby female cat named Pistol Annie, Annie for short. She is a barn cat that i adopted. when i got her, she was small, scrawny, but had a sparkle in her eye. Her ears were full of very thick, blackened blood- it may have been ear mites but it was soooo thick and crusty. her fur was rough and dusty feeling.
when i brought her home, i expected her to run and hide under the bed or couch, like the kittens i had as a child did. but no! she trotted all over the house, tail up and completely unafraid. from day one, she slept between my husband and i. she loves to lick my ears and cuddle up on my shoulders.

a little about me: i am an ACI (animal cruelty investigator) with special training in feline behavior and handling (as well as equine handling, but thats not relevant here) i am 23 years old with two little boys. my kitty is my only daughter.

thank you for welcoming me into your lovely community. my biggest questions with cats comes with the food. so as soon as im allowed to, i will be posting my question there. :)

Hi Brie!
Pistol Annie sure ended up with the right person to call her own!
ACI looks to be a stressful, yet rewarding Career...all at the same time!
My hat is off to you for what you do!
It takes Courage, Commitment, Compassion and a Huge heart!
You should be cleared to post now!
For feeding questions, you can post under Health and Nutrition!
Welcome to the Forum! :D

Welcome Brie & Annie!
Good to have you both! Wow, it sounds pretty exciting to be working at the ACI, and I guess it would also be tough to see situations that you do.
I look forward to seeing your posts & hopefully lots of good stories!
Oh, and of course your future pictures of Annie uploaded here somewhere!:)
