Melissa A. says: Siobhan and three other kittens were found abandoned near a dumpster at Ohio University in August of 2009 by a girl my boyfriend went to school with. I went to see them and left within ten minutes with a new kitten. When we first brought her home, she was scared and curious of just about everything, but within about a week she decided she owned the house. Today, she still sprints at full speed around the house for no reason about five times a day and hides in corners and waits to attack feet as people pass by. She somehow finds her way into the basement of our house and emerges later covered in lint from the dryer. She's also a huge fan of fleece blankets; she'll come sit on your lap, purr, make butter, and take a power nap. We couldn't have asked for a cuter or more playful kitten. :)

Siobhan is a beauty - with those pleading "love me" eyes. So cute. Many happy purrs and cuddles with your little sweetie.

She's adorable, but this story leaves me asking, why did you leave the other ones at the dumpster?

Siobhan is absolutely precious! I hope her siblings found homes as welcoming as the one she found. And I hope she's loved just as much now that she's all grown up as she was when she was a cute kitten!

Such cute photos of Siobhan. I love this photo of her snuggled in the fleece blanket. She has such an adorable face. Glad that Siobhan has such a nice home with you Melissa. She is a "keeper" for sure!
