I love looking at the pictures when people show off their non-finned pets and decided to start a thread. There may already be one (if there is I'm sorry) but it seems buried and I can't find it.
SO....I'm going to start off by showing off my precious kitties. All my animals are rescues.
First off is Suzy. She is my 12 year old daughters kitty and super tiny. She is 6 years old and doesn't quite weigh 5 pounds. She is so very devoted to my daughter. She will follow her any where and guards her while she sleeps at night by sleeping on the pillow at her head..ALL NIGHT LONG. She is a pound kitty.
Then is Sammy, another pound kitty. She is our beautiful black polydactyl kitty.
There is Rusty. He is a kitty that came to me when I was doing rescue work. He was a "street" cat that had lived in a neighborhood where a kind, but highly allergic woman, fed him on her porch. When she moved she brought him into the Spay/Neuter clinic I was working at with her eyes nearly swollen shut from her allergies and crying. She was afraid no one would feed him after she moved. He had lived outside for nearly 3 years that she knew of....and was declawed. He has the life of Riley now in our house and is the SWEETEST guy ever. He is very attached to my 18 year old son.
Next up is Spanky. Spanky came from a family who brought him into rescue who could no longer afford to feed him. He was a flea ridden mess, and stole my heart and came home with me. He is extremely attached to my husband. Spanky has some mental issues. He is not the smartest cat in the world. The vets seem to think it may be something similar to down syndrome in cats, and his skull is very miss-shapen. He the sweetest cat you have ever met and does wonderful with the litter box so...home with me he came.
Then there is Chucky. Chucky is a bit of a terror, but can be a sweetheart when he wants to be. He came to the rescue with a severe compond fracture of his back hind leg. A very disturbed child grabbed him up when he was about 6 weeks old, and intentionally grabbed his leg and snapped it in front of a lot of people. The vets worked hard to successfully save his leg and he came home with me so he could get his medication 24/7 and so I could continually wrap and brace the leg as he grew. I became so attached he never left my home. His leg is not "normal" but he has full use of it. He trust everyone in the house but does have issues with strangers, and understandably, younger children.
And finally, our newest kitty is Dany! Dany is a gorgeous long haired girl I found this spring. She was covered in fleas, had massive clumps of hairballs all over her, and snot pouring from her nose. After much grooming and vet care, including her spay, she is doing fabulous. I am SOOO very attached to this little girl. She is one of the kitty loves of my life. Sweet and definitely a mommas girl. Check out the long ear hair on this girl! lol
If you hadn't noticed, I have a thing for the ginger kitties. All my ginger boys like to hang out together. They are always curled up sleeping together.
All of them are housecats, spayed/neutered, and extremely well loved. A few still have some health issues we work with, but for the most part they are all healthy and happy kitties. Rescued animals are the BEST.
Oh...and just to throw off my own post...
Here is another rescue of mine. His name is Jakers. He bites EVERYONE and ANYONE when given the opportunity so was brought into rescue. We didn't normally take in birds but well..... He came home with me too. In defense of him not fitting the "kitty post"...he does Meow, call for the kitties and says "I'm a pretty kitty" So he *thinks* he's a kitty so fits. My senegal kitty parrot, Jakers.
Thanks for looking and PLEASE share your kitty pictures as well. If they have a story, all the better.
Pssst. Mods-if you think this belongs in the photo gallery go ahead and move it. I didn't put it there because everything was "fish related" as far as I could see. Thank you.
