JayJay [redux]

April 12, 2013

Michelle says: JayJay and her brother Wylie were found thrown in a trash can covered in motor oil along with a sibling. They were only about a week old. The sibling did not make it, and because the foster mom had to work during the day, she couldn't bottle-feed them so they came to us and we fostered them. They were the cutest kittens ever!!! Looks and personality. We were smitten and we couldn't bear to rehome them-- they were our babies. Fortunately we had Boo to help us take care of them. Jay is very needy... always seeking our approval attention... but, boy, is she a badass when it comes to wrestling her brother. Even at two weeks of age, those two would wrestle up a storm... and they're still at it! JayJay prefers to be only inches away from our face/lips for hugs and kisses. Now she's a big girl and she helps Boo take care of the young foster kittens that come to stay at our house.

My heart would have melted too with this cutie. I just love the pictures with Boo caring for Jay and reading that this has become a tradition with your paw-family. Thank you for taking care and sharing these lovely images :)

What a cutie and how nice that your Boo has adopted the foster kitties so nicely. :)

Wow: her life started really bad. What kind of person dumps a living creature in a trashcan? Horrible. - But luckily, happily and thanks to you and Boo, she is well protected now. And she is giving back to all those fosters in need. Wonderful.

JayJay is a little doll! I wouldn't have been able to give her up either. Bless you for all the fostering you do. You certainly have a great helper with Boo:) She likes just like JayJay's mother. Many happy years with all your fur kids.

Stupendous! Thank you, Michelle, for fostering and keeping JayJay. Cats can have "nine lives" only if they get to keep the first one! She is a real doll.

I did the search for Wylie and Boo, and found the grownup pictures Michelle kindly sent of these beautiful adult cats. How many times we beg to see the kitties as mature cats--usually to no avail.

I'm a sucker for newborn babies as they always look so innocent. JayJay is so beautiful that it is easy to see why she won your heart.

What a precious little kitty!! How lucky that they were found. It's too bad about the other - sort of changes the good morning kitty for me.

All the pictures are beautiful! Had to pick this one because it shows the love between these two. God bless Boo...what a wonderful surrogate parent Boo is!
