Rupert [redux]

September 15, 2011

Devin says: Rupert is a rescue kitten. The woman who fostered him (I adopted him at nine weeks) said he was set to be euthanized. How could I let him go?? He is very frisky and playful, always into something. For such a sweet face, he really is a little monster sometimes. But of course, he also has a sweet cuddly down side. He loves to sit purring on my lap while I edit photographs, and sleeps in between my boyfriend and me at night. His one-year birthday is coming up soon and I'm so happy to have him as my new best buddy.

Hmmm, he is just *not* sure about whatever he's looking at, but I have a feeling that he's going to pounce before long. Thanks for rescuing him!!

He is so beautiful. I love the little orange meatballs! His little face has such a worried or sad look to it, like he knew how close he came to a terrible end. Thank you for saving this sweet little fluffy.

He does look worried. There's a little tension right above his eyes. Ever so sweet.

Looks like Rupert is snacking on someone's toes in this photo. He is a darling ginger tabby cattie, one of my favorite types. Such a sweet face too.

What a handsome little guy! <3 I agree with what people have said about his soulful eyes. Seems like he knew where he was headed. Thank you for rescuing him and literally saving his life!

Girl Cat's mom - 12 years, 7 months ago

Hope you heard me screaming OMG over Rupert - it is Girl's 9th birthday and this is what her brother's looked like when she was a baby. Wish I had been able to find them too. He is more than perfect. He is sublime. The eye color is wonderful but his entire little self is a perfect b'day gift to Girl's Mom! The Oranges are the best of all kittehs. Thank yo
u for adoring and saving this little anjil. I know how you felt - as I did when I grabbed the Girl and saved her.

Wow it makes me sick to think anyone could euthanize such a wonderful, loving, caring, purring handsome and photogenic kitten. You are his angel for saving him and he's your precious buddy. It doesn't get any better than that.

Oh my, Rupert is such a handsome little boy! I love his eyes; I've never seen eyes like that on a kitty. I can't believe he was so close to not making it. Thank you for saving this wonderful kitty, I hope you have many happy years with him :)
