Gizmo [3]

January 12, 2015

Kelly says: Bella is a feral who lives in my neighborhood but she has an attachment to me and she had her baby on my porch in August. She came to me meowing and crying and her water broke, so I set a box out for her and she gave birth shortly after that to just one baby kitten, Gizmo. After about a month she stopped feeding him so I took him inside with my other inside cats and adopted him. (Bella is too wild to adopt.) Since then Gizmo has been a great addition to my three girls, Lilly (the black cat) who is 14, Misfit (tortie calico) who is four, and Nell (gray and white) who is two. He plays with all of them and sometimes Lilly acts like a kitten herself again considering her age. They all sleep together in one big kitty pile. Gizmo's favorite thing to do is sit in the window seat and try to attack any passers by, purring while he does so.

Bless you for taking in Gizmo! Were you able to trap Bella and get her spayed? There are a lot of programs that offer low cost TNR (trap,neuter, and release). It really is the best solution for the wild babies outside! I have two boys and they will let me pet them, so I can get flea treatment on them in the summer and in the winter they have a heated bed. I guess you could say the are a bit spoiled, but we domesticated these animals and we should care for them if possible! I love kitties!!!

Beautiful. The one on the far right reminds me of our cat Baby Bob who sadly died of heart failure a couple of years ago. He was around 6 years old.
