Meet Liberty (aka Libby Mae)



She was homeless. What was I going to do leave her out in the cold and rain?

Gracie has already adopted her, treating her as gently as she would a newborn puppy. Flash isn't quite sure about all this, but he's very interested in her. Needless to say, we're treating her for fleas. Vet appointment next week to start vaccinations, etc. and find out how old she is, when she can get spayed, etc.

"Flash & Libby

Gracie & Libby"

Of course you weren't going to leave her out in the cold and rain.

Where was she?

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
In a box marked "Free Kittens" in front of the local Kmart. Technically, it was cold and rainy today (in the fifties), so that counts right? *bites lip*

So far, free kitten has cost about $60 in kitten food, flea shampoo, toys, etc. Thank Gods I had a litter box and cat litter.

She's a gorgeous, absolutely fearless adventurous little tortie with tourmaline eyes. We're all completely smitten.

I got Toby that way. Some of the best critters in the world come in those boxes. :)

You can buy love, I've done it. And then you buy love accessories.

I haven't seen kittens in a box since I was a kid.

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I was pretty shocked, too. Can't remember the last time I saw that, especially around here.

Poor thing is tiny, probably too young and underweight, which appears to be bringing out latent maternal instincts in Gracie.

[identity profile] man-of-snows.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Man I wish I was young and underweight again!

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I join you in this shared illusion? Because young and underweight would suit me fine right about now.

[identity profile] paigemom.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
There is no such thing as a free kitten or a free puppy.

Posted more napping kitty pics.

[identity profile] preachan-sidhe.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
She's precious!

[identity profile] wastedmouthfull.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
LMAO :) how is this keeping quiet about her??? :)
Ahh Well Im just happy to be auntie.

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Just remember - you told me I should rescue her. So technically, its all your fault. And Chris' because he told me we should go have Chinese and Kmart is right on the way home from the Buffet.

Me, I was just minding my business.

Dawwwwww soo cute!! Flash is just trying to maintain an image. She's really truly in love :p

[identity profile] lore-of-lore.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
I meant "He", not "She"....

[identity profile] wastedmouthfull.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
yes and Gracie has become a stalker, kinda cute just a bit scary... But i dont think she wants to hurt her I think shes like me, I want to hug and kiss it and name it george. :)

[identity profile] lore-of-lore.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I know all about the naming everything George (although for me it was George or Fred, but I rarely wanted to hug and kiss fish. Especially dead ones.) Gracie wants to be a surrogate/adoptive mommy. She knows the little thing needs love and caring :)

How does Fudgie like his new housemate?

*sucker*

But we love you for that.

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Fudgie is very concerned, but guarded the kitten most of the night.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a sucker. We'd wanted another cat for rodent control in the hay shed and couldn't find a cat that got along with the dogs and rabbits. This way, we can (hopefully) raise her alongside them. She's certainly *not* afraid of the dogs, Fudgie or the rabbits.

Awww... cute!

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
But tiny, its the tiny that has me a bit worried. Vet visit upgraded to this afternoon to see if we can age her appropriately. Another appointment at the end of August for her HIV/Feline Leukemia, first shots, etc. and set a date for her spay.

[identity profile] seastormwitch.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
*LOL* I totally understand. An adorable puss came into work as a stray the other night. I swear, if we didn't already have a houseful...

AWWWWW I love little kittens!

[identity profile] rniteflyer.livejournal.com 2008-07-31 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
OMG Too, too, too cute. Enjoy your little cuteness bundle of pointy milk teeth and needle sharp claws.

I love kittens.

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2008-07-31 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! At this point, she seems to have two speeds - running around crazily and napping. Lots and lots of napping going on around here.
