Gleaning Facebook: Feral Kitties

These beautiful kitties want to adopt responsible people. They are not picky; two of their siblings have adopted John Paul Schulz & Dekie Hicks!

Joey Jones

If you run out if kittens, my great niece Olivia found this sweet kitten on Veteran’s Hwy today. She looking for a home for this tiny baby.

Dekie Hicks
I hope they all adopt good hoomans! Trouble and Mr. Bolt are growing fast, and are quite the entertainment. Their new cat condo arrives tomorrow.

Carl Sharpe-Ehui
Any females left?

Terrell Shaw
I don't know the sex of either of the two kittens that remain. Sorry.

Jessie Reed
My son, Iam, has been begging for one. Let me talk to Rob... maybe if I show him these pictures maybe he’ll cave. 

Debbie Reece Grigsby
Looks like my great niece found the kitten a home! Yeah! 

Jane Nelson Risdon
Sigh. Wish I could have ome.

Dee Brenner Belk

Gleaning Facebook: Home from the Half-Marathon

Home from Tennessee and the Half Marathon where we strolled for 13.1 miles in a hot sun but a cool breeze with 33,000 of our closest friends. It was fun! Go to Lily's Garden and make a contribution to conquer childhood cancer. https://www.causes.com/fb/do

Congratulations! Will enjoy hearing all about it once you've recovered!

Nancy Waters Carr
great job, what a wonderful thing to do

Joan Shaw Turrentine
Oh, I wanted to be there!!! Congrats to all you finishers!

Terrell Shaw
Thanks, Naomi, Nancy, and Joan!

Amanda Hearn Sims
I wish I could have been there! Wonder why they add the .1 mile as if 13 miles isn't long enough lol. I'm so proud of all of you for completing this challenge and for such a wonderful cause!

Terrell Shaw
Having refreshed my memory via Wikipedia:
The distance between Marathon and Athens that Phidippides ran, a few hundred years before Christ, was approximately 26 miles. Later when the modern Olympics came about the distance was changed several times and finally set at 26.2. The half marathon is therefore 13.1.
Ta-dah!

Susan Cherones
YAY YOU!

Terrell Shaw
Thank you Susan! Hope you are enjoying you new home.

Charmaine Yoest
Oh I so wish we could have been there!! Yay for Lily's Garden!

We caught one of the remaining two kittens today. He (or she) is terrified. Delta is the remaining "free" kitten. The trap is out, I hope we catch her (or him) soon.

Ahhh - he/she looks just like Troy. We LOVE the two kittens you brought to us. We got Troy and Snowball a bed, food and water bowls, collars, tags, a litter box and toys today. I'm not much of an animal person, but I love these kittens! What do you figure their birthday is? Lillian said about 4 weeks ago - April 1st. What do you think?

Terrell

Very appropriate birthday. The joke was on me of course!! That's about right.

Deborah Shaw Lewis

Yeah! Delta may be terrified for a short period of time, until he/she discovers that being "caught" was the best thing to ever happen to her/him. Cute, cute kittens!

Terrell

This is not Delta... I have a pic of Delta but havent caught himer yet.

Deborah Shaw Lewis

Ahh, I should never get back up after midnight and write ANYTHING on the internet! So, what have you named this kitten?

My brother David

I wish I had it on video.

I wasn't sure what it was when it first breeched my threshold of consciousness. A squeaking swing? A peeping bird? A distant child?

It was, in fact, a tiny unhappy kitten. Mewing and exploring on shaky legs a cluttered side porch. The yellow furball didn't run from me but was protected by a tangle of chairs against the old wooden shipping crate that I should have moved to the shed ages ago. I keep thinking that a glass top on it would make a great coffee table.

We have been petless for a month or two, since we had to put poor blind and deaf Oostanaula Oopsy Daisy the Cocker Spaniel down. We need to keep it that way. Our lives are just not the sort that a pet would enjoy.

I decided to call Sheila at work to steel her against the onrush of maternal feeling that would, I knew, wash over her when she saw the thing.

It didn't work. She came right home.

When I took her onto the porch to check on the wee critter, it scuttled behind the crate. I decided to walk outside the porch to shoo the kitten toward Sheila, while my bride took the more direct approach, leaning all the way over the big crate to see the kitty on the opposite side.

I wish I had it on video.

As she leaned across the crate, one of the wooden slats that formed its top exploded upwards expelling a calico missile that grazed Sheila's arched body on its trajectory off the porch.

I suppose the furry mom must have entered the upturned box by way of the same loose board before the nativity of the sextuplet (not triplets as erroneously first reported) felines. How in creation that one yellow sibling had escaped the crate, I can't imagine.

After my palpitations eased a bit, I began to shake all over again as Sheila and I leaned against one another weakened with laughter.

I wish I had it on video.

Tess & Tigger

Bill & Cathy Whittle gave us Tess and Tigger in 1982 (don't know the date). Tess had a litter of kittens the next year. We named those kittens after characters from Gunsmoke. Miss Kitty, born the same year as Brannon, stayed with us for 18 years. The kittens are playing in a window of our house at 608 Cedar Avenue, in Rome, Georgia. I scanned these shots in 2010 from old pics. .
