Ooops

A personal story in the experience: I Have a Cat
I didn't intend to get a cat, it was a accident. The people that live across the street from me moved out and just left it. It's just a kitten, can't be more than 4 months old. She is solid black and just as sweet as she can be. I named her Miss Afray. I don't know where the name came from, it just popped into my head, but it kinda fits her. I can't believe that someone would just leave a poor little kitten to survive on its own. They make me so mad. Oh well, I got a pretty new baby out of it.

The way people abandon their pets is absurd.

But YaY for your new pet! :-) Where'd you get that name and what does it mean?

That's one lucky cat. I've "rescued" a few abandoned kittens that were too far gone, and I had to take them to be put to sleep. I've also had neighbors who were leaving give me their cat rather than take it with them.

I've also had a cat just show up at my house and never leave. Can't fight destiny, like a nice cat showing up when you don't already have one. :) My current feline friend is from the animal shelter.

Hi Puzzle, I don't know where the name comes from, it just popped into my head. Almost like she told me that was her name. As far as the meaning, your guess is as good as mine.
MostlyLoner, it is so good of you to rescue poor little animals, although it is sad when some of them cant be saved, it is better that they dont have to suffer anymore. I wish I could save them all.

I actually prefer dogs myself, and just adopted a new one. She is a miniature wiener dog. I am already in love with her and have only had her for one day.

Goo for you and thank good ness for the kitten! I hate it when people do that -- just move off and leave a pet! I have inherited a couple like that myself. She sounds adorable. I love solid black cats myself, but they are the hardest to find homes for in a shelter. She may have already had her first heat, so take her and get her spayed as soon as possible! I hope you can. The SPCA has low cost spaying, call them, please.If you can, try to keep her indoors all the time. She may be too used to roaming already, but maybe not.The life of an outdoor cat is only two years. Get her shots too. SPCA has those low cost too. You don't have to get them every year, but maybe evry 3-4 yrs. Feed her kitten chow till about one year. She needs the extra protein. If she doesn't have fleas, stay on top of that also. they can be horrible for the cat and you. Love the name! Maybe she did tell you. LOL You are both blessed with a new friend.

God bless you for giving the kitty a wonderful home! I have two cats myself, and one of them looks exactly like yours. It makes me insane just to think people would get pets and abandon them when they feel that the pets are troublesome. If they can't take care of them, then don't get them in the first place. Pets have feelings too!
