Martha's Kittens Part 1: Dekker

July 8, 2010

Jill says: Martha, a beautiful three-year-old tortie, and her five kittens were with us in foster care for five weeks. When she came to the Fredericton SPCA, Martha was so skinny, she probably didn't weigh more than 5 lbs and didn't like to be picked up. (I think it might have hurt her because she was so thin.) Although she hissed and growled at first, she was head-butting and rubbing our legs in no time; sometimes purring and growling at the same time. She definitely came around and is now a very loving kitty. Martha is still waiting for her forever home but has found a new best kitty friend at the shelter named Big Mike.

Dekker is the smallest of the boys but he has a big personality! He loves giving head-butts and having his head and ears scratched. He was great fun to foster and loved to play with any toy. He also loved to be around me, supervising what I was doing.

He is so adorable, and he looks like he has a really spunky personality, too. I bet he gets adopted very quickly :)

A furry slinky. The best way to stay cool is to stretch out like this cutie pie, Dekker! Really adorable.

My dog does this sometimes. Rarely see a cat do it, though!

Looks like Dekker just ran out of gas in this picture. Probably playing so hard. He is an adorable cattie and I hope that he finds his human home soon. I hope that Martha gets spayed as I would not like to see her and Big Mike start another family.

There's something special about chocolate tabbies. They're so loving. I have two, and the youngest was purring before her mama had even licked her dry! (She's the kitty in my avatar.)
