Get her tested for FLK (leukemia) ASAP--Petco &#38; PetSmart or your humane society can do it cheaply. You don't want your residents exposed to that virus. It seems there are a lot of friendly strays lately due to the housing crisis--people just leave them behind. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353187 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:27:59 +0000 Tigerlilly 353187@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG, she's a tortie, my favorite. I have 3 torties, they rock! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353185 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:26:36 +0000 feral 353185@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cat...maybe a few picture posters thru-out the neighborhood would alert the 'owners' of sweet Topaz (if she wasn't abandoned)? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353180 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:23:04 +0000 Cats4Cats 353180@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, I have asked around my apartment and called up both shelters, and no one knows of anyone looking for the little girl. In fact, she's been hanging out at my apartment complex for a few days now.</p> <p>I don't know if it's possible for me to keep her, but I can't stomach the thought of dropping her off at a shelter. A co-worker of mine who is plugged-in to the local pet-friendly, pet-welfare community is going to see if any of her contacts need a sweet baby to love. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353164 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:11:02 +0000 beth 353164@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>what a pretty kitty. wow !! i love her name !! if you can't find the owner keep her !! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353153 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:04:25 +0000 paulajeanne 353153@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>A dilute tortie? She must be loved by someone, hope you can find her owner. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353148 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:00:26 +0000 feral 353148@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What a beautiful little girl! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353146 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:57:24 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 353146@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes she is indeed Beautiful, and Topaz fits her to a 'T'. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353145 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:55:48 +0000 ILoveMyCats 353145@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh my goodness...she is beautiful! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-353141 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:51:38 +0000 Cats4Cats 353141@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OK, her pictures are up on Flickr: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27232268@N06/?saved=1" rel="nofollow">www.flickr.com/photos/27232268@N06/?saved=1</a></p> <p>They should be the first four pictures you see.

Topaz is a cool name. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352984 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:28:21 +0000 Emma 352984@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Something tells me that all of you will do fine. Snake found a friend, and Grumpy and Spook will come around in time. And you've got a new baby cat!</p> <p>Gradual introductions are very nice to have, but since they aren't trying to kill each other, things will only get better.</p> <p>After four years, Rotley and Ruggles are getting along. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352982 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:26:05 +0000 katthays 352982@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ohhhh, another baby! Love the name, too! Just when you think your life is all settled, in walks a little furball that needs you! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352974 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 05:56:55 +0000 Cats4Cats 352974@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I wish I had thought about some of these things last night (the bath, the vaccinations). Well, wish us luck today! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352957 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:51:52 +0000 cricketsmama 352957@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>awww Cath. I think you have a new baby too. Topaz sounds like a keeper and we can't wait to see pictures :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352954 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:48:32 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 352954@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yep, I think you have a new baby. Concats, Catherine. When Oliver walked into our life we kept him separated till he saw our vet and then gradual introduction and it went quite smoothly. Good luck with Topaz (I love the name, too). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352951 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 04:45:36 +0000 Siobhan 352951@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You might have a new baby :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352904 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:46:45 +0000 GizzysAuntie 352904@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If weather permits, she should probably have a bath. Being out and on her own for several days, she may have picked up fleas, which you don't want indoors. I would also worry about exposing her to your other cats due to diseases, etc. I'm sure they're up to date on shots, etc., but Topaz may not be as well protected. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352897 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:40:31 +0000 Tigerlilly 352897@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I loove the name Topaz. Sounds like she's a gem of a kitty! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352896 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:21:35 +0000 Cats4Cats 352896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, she used the litter box, and she seems to be OK with Snake. He's being very calm and very slow in approaching her -- he's a really good cat. Spook and Grumpy are being kept away from the fluffy little camo cat. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352894 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:03:27 +0000 Cats4Cats 352894@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Keep her (and us) in your thoughts and prayers, though. We're currently calling her Topaz. Just because. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352893 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:02:53 +0000 Cats4Cats 352893@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Gradual introductions would have been nice ... but Grumpy already discovered our secret. Snake's being very good, though, and being very calm toward our guest.</p> <p>I'll check the want ads and call the shelters in town in the morning to see if anyone has contacted them. I'm hoping she's just lost, and hasn't been abandoned. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15378#post-352891 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:58:50 +0000 owlwatcher_974 352891@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Only thing I can think of is to find something to use as a temporary litter box, and start searching the lost and found ads. Maybe she is somebody's lost little baby. </p>
