Here's a photo of the new little black kitten

[joeybee12]

As you can see, she's been a little roughed up...this is from last night...this morning she looked better, will try for better ones later...the good thing is she's not skinny, and has some energy. Keep good thoughts!

1. Are you a kitten magnet or what?

Are they from where you work? Don't you work at a shelter or some kind of rescue place?

Whatever, you DO GOOD WORK!

Adorable little kitty.

[joeybee12]

5. The park where I feed...ferals galore...over the years I've TNR'ed at least 100...

And more show up!

[Bertha Venation]

2. Does she have a name, joey?

[joeybee12]

6. No, I'm trying not to so I don't get too attached...

The idea is to help her get better and get her adopted.

[Bertha Venation]

10. Smart man. I was never that smart.

That's why we have ten cats. All started out as rescues or fosters . . .

[joeybee12]

15. If I won the lottery, she'd stay! nt

[CurtEastPoint]

3. She'll be a sleek, beautiful cat. You are a good person to give her a home and love. Thank you.

[joeybee12]

7. She's obviously not from the same litter as my kitten Sam, who is now about 10 weeks...

But I'd be willing bet the Dad is the same!

[CurtEastPoint]

19. Remember that one litter can have MANY different fathers. Lady cats are kinda...frisky.

[juajen]

40. There you go, blaming the female! LOL

[CurtEastPoint]

41. And of course I should have said CATS are frisky.

It takes two to tango, so to speak!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I am in love!!

[joeybee12]

8. I think she's going to be a sweetie...scared now, but still very trusting...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. my blackie female says Hey, Girl - its gonna be alright!

I live in a magical world with mystical creatures, for real

[Bertha Venation]

21. what a sweetheart

[joeybee12]

16. Look at those beautiful eyes!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. ty, joeybee12. She is what we call a Piss-Ripper around these parts.

She can scale a mountain or shoo a fly ...

[joeybee12]

18. Hee-hee!

I bet my Sam turns out like that...got her about 6 weeks ago when she was this new one's age...she already is the instigator!

[tabbycat31]

29. what a beauty

Every black kitty I've met has been nothing but a total sweetheart. I was never owned by a black kitty, but I love them anyways.

[LoveMyCali]

20. Poor darlin

Such a scraggly little thing. She's so tiny I just want to cuddle her into my neck.

[applegrove]

22. Awww. You are so great to take these little guys in. Give them a chance to get adopted. Will lead to

a much happier, longer life.

[Rhiannon12866]

23. Such a poor little baby! So incredibly small and cute...

You are simply amazing...

[LoveMyCali]

24. Remind you of anyone?

(hint: Raven right after her surgery)

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Yes! You know I have a special place in my heart for the little black kitties...

Such a cutie!

[nomorenomore08]

26. Awwwwww...

If I wasn't on the opposite coast I might consider adopting her. Our one remaining cat is 16 with a bad thyroid, so our house might be a little empty in the near future...

[LoveMyCali]

27. Awww, that's so sad.

Maybe it's not such a bad idea to think about getting another friend now. Then you won't feel like you are trying to replace your 16-year-old cat.

[nomorenomore08]

28. We've actually only had Edna for a few years. My sister adopted her at age 12, when her original

owner had to go into a nursing home. Funny thing, when Edna moved in she completely took over the house, even though poor Bob had been lord of the manor for 8+ years at that point. And against all expectation, she even wound up outliving the guy, since we, sadly, lost Bob recently at age 11 - we think he may have had a heart attack. But for now she's hanging in there, with her nightly thyroid medication.

30. This is Molly

Rescued at about age two. She's eight pounds, has survived heartworm and is now managing on one and a third kidneys. Calicos are supposed to be nasty, but nobody ever told her that, she is adorable.

[joeybee12]

31. Aw...she looks so happy!

I had heard that about calicos...they're pretty and they know it!

[firenewt]

32. Male Calico's have a terrible disposition. I had one as a kid and he attacked everyone and

everything. Absolutely fearless.

[JayhawkSD]

34. Male calicos are also exceedingly rare.

I think something like 99.5% of calicos are female. Has to do with the color gene being on the X chromozone. Since males are XY and only have one X chromozone, they can only have one color, while females are XX and can have two colors. White is not a color, it represents hairs where the color gene is not "switched on."

A male calico is genetically an XXY male, which is an aberration.

33. kitty!

more pictures!

[exxo1111]

35. You are one lucky man. You have just found unconditional love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeybee12]

38. I have four, another kitten I picked up last week, makes six total...

Need to find a place for these last 2...my 3rd and 4th I found like this guy, about a month ago...things have been hopping!

[exxo1111]

[pansypoo53219]

37. my cosmo looked like yoda as a kitten,

he grew into a 12lb beauty of a norwegian forest cat. or something like it. she has big baby paws.

[navarth]

39. This thread is a banquet of adorableness.

I have such a weakness for these adorable little shits. I want to save every last one of them. And once they get healthy, they get spoiled rotten. Rotten I tell ya.

[blondie58]

42. she is precious!

You are a good hooman. It is not.their fault.there are so many. One mommma cat and her offspring will produce half a million more in 7 years.

Where ate you? I help at a no kill shelter in Colorado http://www.angelswithpaws.net.
I an sure with.a little advance notice,they would take them.
