Hello everyone :)
This looked like a friendly, helpful group of people so I thought I'd join in and introduce myself. My husband brought home a tiny ball of fluff that he found outside of an auto parts store. This little girl, all thirteen ounces of her, had summoned the strength to step out of the bushes and shiver on the cold cement of the parking lot. The big, burly mechanics helped my tender-hearted husband search the area around the shop for her mommy or siblings; to no avail.
So, he brought her home to me and our four children and two dogs. That was four weeks ago and we just can't imagine life without her now! The first week was tough as the vet warned us she was very dehydrated and needed to be bottle fed every 3-4 hours round the clock. We shouldered the responsibilities together, Dan and I.
There is nothing more adorable than to see a half-asleep, six-foot tall, strong man holding a tiny one pound ball of fur on his tummy trying to get more of the KMR milk on her little tongue than on the make-shift burp cloth at 3am. :)
Anyway, though we weren't planning to add any more fur-children to our already full home, little Zuzu made herself room in our hearts.
Glad to find a place to share her because our entire family thinks we're crazy for keeping the little thing. I know you all will completely understand how it feels to be smitten by a tiny abandoned kitten.
hugs,
Karen
