Dropped isabella off for spay, vet called, he can't have one.
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 12:58 PM by superconnected
And he's already neutered.

Isabella was the "mom" to the ferral kitten I took in. He always showed up with his kitten to eat on a porch at the back of my apt complex.

He fought the person who caught his kitten then stayed where the kitten was caught so my friend picked him up and brought him to my house that day too.

Both have been with me for nearly 2 months.

Isabella refuses to leave my bedroom and never wants outside.

He's still always mothering his kitten in my bedroom. I would never have guessed he was male...

The kitten(pounce quick) gets spayed saturday then both get listed on pet finder to find them forever homes.

pics to follow.

1. My mom called, as she had to pick him up since I dropped him
off on my way to work.

She's already renamed him isadore. She said it's a guy name...?

My ftp server isn't working or I'd have pics up already.

2. Will you adopt them out together?
They sound quite bonded.

6. I would like to. Hopefully someone will take the both.
My apt gave me an eviction threat on Friday so I'm looking for a new place.

They caught on to the fact I have a lot more than 2 cats.

I was going to find them homes anyway so I could keep rescuing strays.

Its going to be hard to look at isadore as a boy.

4. Lol! Don't feel bad; I dropped off my kitty Puck to be neutered
and "he" returned spayed. Puck is such a Tomboy that I never would have guessed that "he" is a she!

8. Awww-thanks! She does look like she could be Robin Goodfellow
in among the trees and vines, ready to pull a fast one on the Queen of the fairies. ;-)

7. Oh that's good. Puck's adorable.
She does look boyish in a tomboy way. At least puck has been played by men and women on stage.

9. Yeah-like Peter Pan. At least that was one saving grace about the
name (plus-she's such an imp. "Titania" is just too elegant for rough and tumble Puck).Maybe Isabella could be "Izzy" or "Istanbul". I think Isadora is a woman's name too. :shrug:

11. Same thing happened to a friend of mine who rescued a Himalayan
she found wandering around her neighborhood. The kitty had been named "Girl Cat" by the time the vet appointment rolled around and is now introduced as "Girl Cat, our transgendered feline."

It's not unusual, by the way, for young tomcats to play nanny/babysitter to kittens. As for Isabella's name, "Isidora" with an "a" is feminine, "Isidore" with an "e" is masculine.

12. LOL, is he longhaired? There are those of us vets who HAVE
tried to neuter a male cat, and there are those who WILL someday!

One more reason why I insist on an exam before scheduling surgery, lol!! Been fooled once.......

13. Well, shorten Isabella to Izzy, now that's a story!
Surprise, surprise as Gomer Pyle used to say. Our cats never cease to amaze us...
