(12,629 posts)Here's Baby...I lost her early last summer. She had feline leukemia, and went downhill so quickly, I had no other options. I miss her terribly. She was the only female from a litter I rescued back in '99. Her three brothers are still with me, but she was my favorite.
Bob...Found my back yard after his owners moved out and left him behind. Took a while to gain his trust, but he turned out to be a real sweetie. Followed me around like a puppy dog. But he was FIV+, when he found me. We probably had him four years before he passed.

Gigi (GG), short for "Garage Girl", because that's where she prefers to hang out. She showed up compliments of a neighbor who found her in his Havaheart trap. I told him that I would keep her in our dog cage, until we figured out what to do with her. (She's still here after 5 years)

Surprise!!!
Next morning we had a surprise in the dog cage (or should I say 8 surprises?) Here are 5 of the cuties, looks like GG was a bit of a tramp! Good news...we found forever inside homes for all of them!

Toody (short for 2 days, which is how long the hubby gave me to find her a new home a few years back) Yeah, right. Only kitteh I chose, instead of vice versa. Toody is an I Can Has Cheeseburger star!:
Our latest addition, Bunny (Because, when I first spotted his backside on our deck hanging with the ferals, I thought he was a rabbit) Had to snag him, before he got too wild. Nobody wanted him, so he became a member of the feline zoo. :
And here's a pic of the late Baby watching a hummingbird with her brother, "B.T." Just because I really like it!

No pics of Scarlet, a feral who has been coming around for 12 years. I suspect she is Baby and BT's mother, along with Noogie and Elvis Purrsley's. (Also not pictured)
Also, Stumpy is missing from the album. He came to our back porch with a broken femur 10+ years ago. He was also FIV+, and developed liver cancer this past fall. We had to let him go. What a sweetheart he turned out to be.
OK, just to clarify my nuttiness...there are five indoor kitties, one garage/indoor kitty, and two ferals we feed right now. I would really like to have a dog, but he wouldn't stand a chance, as things are now.
