Default Here is kitten we rescued in Iowa while at daughter's



We went to babysit my daughter's children in Davenport, Iowa from Michigan
and while there rescued a kitten that her niegnbors left behind and it was
living and playing under the back porch. It was young enough yet where it
was still friendly and playfull. I was temped to bring it back to Michigan.
My daughters can not have pets so we took it to the Humane Society.

Here is the URL if want to check it out. She is an 8 week old calico they
named Callie. URL is

Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between a calico and a
tortoishell. In the UK we would probably call her a tortoishell, one of my
cat's sisters who lives accross the road is a calico while my cat is a
tortoishell.

According to Wikipedia -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_cat -- a
calico is a torti colored cat with white.

"The description "tortoiseshell" (also called "calimanco" or "clouded
tiger" in North America) is typically reserved for cats with coats that
have no white markings, while those that are white with orange and black
patches are described as calico (in the United States) or
tortoiseshell-and-white (in the UK). Tortoiseshells and calicos are not
specific breeds of cat. The tortoiseshell markings appear in many
different breeds."

My Torti has orange patches, and is adorable and nuts.

What a qutie-pie she is.
She'll find a good home in no time at all.

Sunday I went to our local shelter to bring supplies to them.
(Once a year I do my charity thing that I pay for out of my own
pocket....even though I don't have a job right now).
I brought them 2 gals. of bleach, 4 bottles of dishwashing detergent,
10 rolls of paper towels, 600 6" paper plates, 28 cans wet food, 2 20lb
bags of dry food, 9 'mice' toys
a $40 cash donation and 3 papers I printed out on different topics
about cats they can tack on their bulletin board for prospective
'parents'.
Plus I got a chance to check out their operations and how they care for
the cats.
Everything in order, clean, and the attendants were friendly,
professional and caring.

Autumn has the build and cleverness of a Norwegian Forrest Cat. Coupled
with the tortie, uh, let's be kind and call it impishness, she can be a
handful. But a very sweet handful. Scared my YD one evening when she was
home alone and Autumn figured out how to turn off the lights...

Don't count on it. Millions of cats and kittens are killed in public
shelters every year. Scott County Humane Society, serving Davenport,
Iowa, is a kill shelter and Iowa is one of nine states that REQUIRE
surplus shelter animals be sold to medical institutes for medical
research. Easily handable kittens are among the first to be sold.

Public shelters are dangerous places for all animals. Never surrender
an animal to a public shelter unless you are prepared to redeem the
animal when the mandated holding period for strays is up.
