Enid

March 8, 2010

Robin says: My best friend is a vet tech and happened to live in a neighborhood with a lot of stray cats. One day she found our little Enid -- just hours old, laying on the sidewalk. She brought the kitten inside and things did not look good -- we were pretty sure that she was going to die. We did everything we could to save her, giving her fluids, keeping her warm.... and she just kept on hanging on to life. We started giving her around-the-clock care, while also trying to be realistic about her chances of survival. We didn't want to name her because we were trying not to get attached, but of course we fell in love with her. And luckily she survived! Her name is Enid, and she's quite a hellion. (Don't fall for that innocent, cute look she had as a kitten!)

Bless you, Robin, and your friend for saving this little beauty. I don't know how you did it because she was SO small. May you enjoy her for many years to come.

What a remarkable story - she was so tiny I also would have doubted she'd live. I'm so happy there are people like you and your friend out there who care enough to try - with a great result! Enid's markings are beautiful - I love her ginger side and her tabby side - just gorgeous. I love the Flying Nun shot!

This reminds me of my Lucky. He was only an inch long when his mother, a stray died. I had him for 17 years. Still miss him. Hope your baby is as "lucky", she is adorable.

I'm so glad she has made it and turned into this wonderful creature. I could not pick a picture to comment on because they all deserve thumbs up - she is adorable and endearing - those beautiful colourings give her an air of distinction. I love her already.

What a cute fluffball. I'd call that a calico tabby.

Enid looks like she may have some Tortie in her too. She has such an innocent face. She can't be a "hellion", can she? Thank you and your friend for giving her a chance at a life with you, and your other catties.

Stories like these make me almost believe in a higher power. It's amazing your friend happened along RIGHT when Enid was there. 5 minutes either way and she may not have been found.
THANK YOU BOTH!

I found the picture of the kitten being held online a few months ago and placed it as my background because I thought it was so cute. I never knew the pic had such a wonderful story behind it. I am truly amazed by human kindness and the internet.

She is adorable! I've raised many bottle kittens, and even though they are a ton of work, they are worth it all. The adult gray cat in one of the photos looks like my Cloud.
