We got our 9 year old Kitty Junior the same way as the white kitten Crystal,abandoned and malnourished,but he turned out to be the most loving cat I have ever met and Crystal is well on her way to be like that.:)
June is naturally a lap kitten,because she is still that small and needs lots of attention.
I helped raise 5 week old kittens abandoned in my daughter’s yard..The milk was expensive but it worked..They all survived..I have a a rescue, Silky, right beside me..again from my daughter’s yard..I think they make great pets.
Silky helped me get on with having a pet again after my dear Purty died of cancer(another rescue) I am slow to get a new kitty always..but finally do.
