River
Location: Arlington, Massachusetts, USA
The weekend after Thanksgiving, River was found living in a paper bag in a local park in the freezing rain. She was underweight and unaccustomed to humans when we adopted her, but she is quickly growing in size and spirit. She now enjoys a lot of attention and is a playful “little sister” to our other two cats, who are 18 and 6 years old.
POUNCE!!!
Fabulous Friday, TDKers!
Cry Me a River. . .
I definitely wouldn’t be crying if I had this pretty baby
Nice Pounce…
River is charming and very very lucky. *smooches and scritches*
Pounce…dang, not quick enough…love this black & white baby…
*must resist…picking up River..putting in pocket* better take this cutie to the sharing circle quick..
Drat! I looked the other way and 4 other people out-pounced me!
Anyway, nice to have a black and white Friday kitty. He looks like a sweetie.
How cute!! River what did you get on your face?
What a lucky girl to find a home with people and other kitties to cosset and entertain her. She’s a keeper…
She’s such a sweetheart. I want her
Adorable.
Great photo against the snow–kind of a “then and now” perspective.
Nice people to save her from the cold.
I thought that too, like a reportage where River shows ‘There’s the spot. It was a cold rainy day…’
An excellent photo btw.
Excellent indeed. I can feel the warmth radiating from River’s dry,comfy perch contrasted against the awful weather outside.(the windowpane detail is esp. good) Such a blessing to see this little beauty here when you know how she got her start in life! God bless you folks, and Kittenmaster too.Happy 2008!
What a cutie! River what did you get on your face?
Oh my what a beautiful fur baby!!! I really do love her. She is quite the cutie pie!!!!!!!! Thank you for saving her!!!
River is surely a lucky little Tuxie, and both she and the adopting family are lucky to have each other ;D
What a pretty little face!!
Awwwww, looks a lot like my Oliver. Want to snorgle??????
what a lovely kitty with such a bad begining but a happy continuation. *hearts* to River!
Another heartwarming story and huggable kitty!!!! What a treat every day lately. Thanks for saving her, and I’m sure she thanks you too- every day!
What a lucky cutie pie!
Cat’s out of the Bag FUZZ
River Phoenix FUZZ
A river runs thru it FUZZ
LOL..it took a minute for the first one to sink in…very nice..
oh my goodness, look at those lovely markings on River! Thank you so much for rescuing her. I think when kitties narrow their eyes a little like that, they are telling you they like you.
I like you too, River! Please cuddle her for me.
Wonderful that you rescued her! I hope that she doesn’t even remember those days, just the days of being warm and looking out at snow and wet and all those unpleasant things.
Hi, Kittenmaster!
Hi, Alex!
What a beautiful kitten River is! How could anyone do that??? But how fortunate this baby is to have found a safe and loving home. I know that River will repay you for that tremendous kindness many times over.
Aw … I would say “poor kitty,” but thanks to you she’s found her forever home!
Why can’t people at least bring kittens to a shelter rather than dumping them? I recently found a tiny kitten in a wet, filthy box by the side of the road. It had been raining, and I only saw it by sheer luck as I drove by. Luckily I had several friends who were looking for a kitten, so the little one was quickly adopted!
Give little River an extra ear skritchie for me!
She’s soooooo cute! Lucky for both of you that you found her, and glad the older kitties like her too. Bless your little family with many more years together.
Thanks for all the lovely comments! River is such a special cat, and she added such a sparkle to our holidays! I was so worried at her size but she’s making up for lost time–she was well under a pound when she was found a month ago, and now she’s over 4!
Thanks again, and she’s getting extra cuddles from all of you!
What a beautiful kit! She looks so velvety soft! I’m send River, rivers of love and chin skritches
Oh, a smudge kitty! She’s a qt.
Congratulations on being acquired by little River. She is beautiful and is guaranteed to give you joy. I found my little one outdoors as well. She’s still a little bit feral and likes to fight, but she’s also a little lover sometimes and is an endless source of entertainment.
Thank God you saved this beautiful kitty. It just breaks my heart that she was living in a paperbag in the freezing cold. I hope she continues to learn to love again. Poor kitty!
I was thinking the same thing Karen…
I’m so glad you rescued her from that paper bag!
River sure is a cutie.
Beautiful Sweet River!!! You saved her life - and she will bless you with hers!
I am glad that you saved this little River Angel. Keep her safe & warm!!!

Bless her furry heart……thank you for taking her in! I love happy endings. She’s gorgeous!
-One cat lover to another
Ditto all of the above! What a pretty girl she is..
I’m so glad she’s warm and safe!
What a wonderful kitten. Such great markings. And a fascinating contrast to the snow.
Oh, thank you for rescuing her! She is just beautiful!
What a beauty!
What a Lucky, Beautiful, Kitty!!! River reminds me alot of my Oreo..Bless your heart for taking in another kitty.
What a beautiful little girl! I am envious of her sight-seeing position.
It looks like you have provided her with the home she deserves now.
Bless you and your family for taking a chance on her. I am sure she
brings you great joy and happiness every day…
I am so glad that you saved River. We recued two 8 week old kittens thrown out in a paper bag on a sleeting December day in MA 20years ago. We were blessed with almost 19years of joy and miss them terribly.
May River flow through your life for many years to come.
Little River looks quite content to be on the other side of the window from all that snow! I love how her marking make it look like she is wearing a shawl.
Thank God for people like you
Thank -you for saving River. I have saved many kittens in my life time,I just don’t know how any body with a heart of any kind can throw a kitten out like trash & call them selfs human.
Adorable girl! I’m so glad you found her.
She looks so similar to one of my 3 rescues, Biscuit. Biscuit is a black and white bob tail and has that same cute little blotch of a mustache. He was so sick when I found him I didn’t think he would survive.
Bless you for saving that precious girl.
awwwwww River is gorgeous. i love that sweet face
i’m so glad she was rescued. that poor sweetie.bless you for taking her in.
