Rupert

March 30, 2009

Devin says: Rupert is a rescue kitten. The woman who fostered him (I adopted him at nine weeks) said he was set to be euthanized. How could I let him go?? He is very frisky and playful, always into something. For such a sweet face, he really is a little monster sometimes. But of course, he also has a sweet cuddly down side. He loves to sit purring on my lap while I edit photographs, and sleeps in between my boyfriend and me at night. His one-year birthday is coming up soon and I'm so happy to have him as my new best buddy.

Sometimes, looking into a cat's eyes, it's as if they have knowledge of all the good and bad in the world.
So deep, so mysterious and very beautiful too

I don't know how people live with their selfs euthanizing animals. They just do not give them enough time to get a home. God Bless you for saving him. Orange cats are wonderful. I have one of my own he also gets into things. He will knock things off the table just because and anwers the telephone when it rings by knocking it off the hook.

Oh he's beautiful!!! I'm so glad you took him in. I teared up when I read he was set to be set to be killed. God bless you for taking him in. You prevented another travesty and I'm sure he's very happy living with you.

dilemma emma - 15 years ago

thats such a cute kitten! that was very kind of u to save him. reading some of these comments is bringing tears to my eyes. i very strongly disagree with killing animals. my sister has a cat very similar to him. i cant imagine anyone wanting to euthanize him!

little cutey! i wish he was mine.

Joni - 15 years ago

What a beautiful kitty. I have an orange tabby also, and I had twoe in the past. I didn't think that fostered kittens had to be euthanized. I thought that they were kept until they found a forever home. Thank you for taking in this beauty. You will never be sorry that you did.

Those who love and protect animals have a special place in my heart. This is a beautiful kitty and the photographs are wonderful. I pray a long and healthy, love filled life for the kitty and for the one who makes it possible.

I have 9 'rescues,' from the age of 16 to almost 2, and I wouldn't trade any one of them. Blessings to you and Rupert. What a cutie.
