Sputnik

April 7, 2011

Jill says: Agatha, Sputnik's mother, was a stray brought to the Fredericton SPCA by a kind woman who had been feeding her. She previously had a litter of kittens that had frozen to death. Agatha was not a happy kitty when we took her home. We could barely get near her but as the days progressed she allowed some chin rubs and pets as long as there were treats or a bit of tuna on offer. Two weeks after we brought her here, she had two healthy kittens.

Sputnik is a little torti and white girl with tons of personality and some extra toes to boot. She loves chasing kitty toys and wrestling with her brother. We also found out today that she loves kitty treats! Friends of ours have expressed interest in adopting Sputnik, so hopefully she will joining them in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in a few weeks.

Hmmm, she's not too sure about you but I think with a few more kitty treats that she'll come around! What a cute little baby and I'm sure she'll blossom into a gorgeous girl.

I remember the first Sputnik in 1957 and the commotion it caused in the US. This baby is ever so cute. I am sorry about Agatha's tough life and hope things will go better for her.

How adorable is she. She has two little dew claws! What a lovely, lucky girl. I hope she finds a furever home soon.

What a cutie! And it looks like Mama has an extra toe or 2 herself! Will Agatha have a chance to live the rest of her life indoors?

What a precious looking little tortie. Love the camel color mark on her nose. Quite stunning. Hope that she gets her forever home in Halifax. Extra toes too. Sputnik got many cute extras, didn't she?

She is adorable! I love torties the most of all. Glad there was a happy ending and I bet she will be snapped up very soon by a loving family!

Agatha, you're a "tough-looking mama!" Your twin brother lives with me, I call him "Mo"!

Sputnik is a pretty little tortie-girl! I'm sure she'll be happy with your friends. And the Mommy cat is pretty, too - hope she also finds a furever home!
