A Tortie Mom's Ginger Kitten [redux]

November 14, 2012

Larry says: We run a small rescue in upstate New York called Little Mews. We take in needy and homeless cats and kittens and care for them and try to find them homes. Any kitten who isn't adopted has a home here until they are. We do place some adult cats as well but if we don't place them they stay right here.

When one of our rescue cats, Indica, came to us, she came with her two kittens, a little grey girl and a little orange boy. He was feisty and fun. The orange-and-white cat looking at him in the photo is Mac (short for Macaroni and Cheese). He came to us as a kitten as well but wasn't adopted. The black-and-white cat is Chessie. She always has that smile and we kept her on purpose. She loves helping to care for the kittens that come through here, even if the momma cat is around. When Zoey was adopted, the lady who took her had just lost her cats in a divorce, so she also took Zoe's brother and named him Teddie. Indica is still with us and can often be found on my lap.

Little Mews in Chenango County, NY, is a small, home-based rescue that always has cats and kittens in need of forever homes and relies on donations to operate

This little ginger boy is trying to figure out how to listen to his heart with this big stethoscope. I loved all the pictures and am thankful that Little Mews exists to help care for the feral catties in it's area. Thank you for all you do. Such an adorable cattie, this ginger boy!
