Thanksgiving Gotcha / Adoption stories
Minna Krebs is hosting the Gotcha/Adoption Stories, so please paw over to her blog to read more heartwarming stories.
I use to live at Grandma & Grandpa's house. They have lots of cats because they refuse to get their cats spayed and neutered. I am distantly related to Socks, he used to live at Grandma's house too and all the cats there are descended from Socks' Mom Miss Kitty. We all live outside, so I was very glad to come live here where I gets to live inside. ~Artemisia
My story is pretty much the same as Artemisia's. My human Mom's cousins wife got a cat ( my Mom aka Miss Kitty), she didn't have her spayed cause she was going to be an inside only cat and would never be around male cats. Well when she went into heat she drove them nuts so they let her outside and of course she got pg. They kept 2 of the boy kittens but they gave Miss Kitty and the rest of her kittens to Grandma & Grandpa. Technically I am youngest boy beans cat. ~Socks
Charybdis (Scylla's litter mate sister)
When we were 4 weeks old our Cat Mommy was poisoned and died. The nice people with MS Spay & Neuter Alliance had been trying to catch the feral cats that were pg so they would give birth in foster homes, but they didn't have a home for our Mom before she had us. So they were waiting for her to bring us out so they could capture all of us. When they found her dead where they had been feeding her they went looking for her kittens and found 4 of us still alive. My Mommy & Daddy agreed to foster two of the kittens (another lady fostered the other two), so we came to live with them. They had to bottle feed us because we were so little and just beginning to eat on our own. Daddy said if he could name us Mommy could keep us so we became Scylla & Charybdis. ~Scylla
When I was 6 weeks old Mommy adopted me from the Bay St. Louis/Waveland Animal Shelter. I had been found with my littermates at Stennis Space Center in the woods. I am a Mutt, the lady at the shelter listed me as a Great Pyrenees mix but since nothing is known about either of my parents that was just a guess on her part. Mommy & Daddy love me anyway. ~Fenris
Together we are known as AFSS (Artemisa, Fenris, Socks, Scylla).

Yin & Yang (national Feral Cat Day)
As you can imagine this is a cause very dear to our hearts. Feral cats are not socialized to people. And therefore, they are not adoptable. Feral cats don’t belong indoors and are typically wary of us. However, as members of the domestic cat species...
