Maggie Mae (aka Magdalena, Magpie): 11 years old, tortieshell, she was rescued from a person that had over 20 cats and 20 dogs. I adopted her from Best Friends Pet Adoption. She's a very sweet cat, but not the sharpest crayon in the box, she gets lost on the front porch. She has chronic watery eyes and a runny nose due to the herpes virus, most likely from the environment she lived in her first 2 years. She also had stomatitis, and has had her back teeth removed, she has not had any mouth problems since then. She's about 10 lbs.
Teddy Jenkins (to dignified for a nickname): 6 years old, white with orange tabby spots. He lived on the streets his first 18 months at a homeless shelter. During a very cold January, the homeless people contacted the humane society and had him caught. He allowed them to pat him, but not be picked up. He was brought into the clinic I worked at, and neutered and treated for a UTI. I took him home. When the people at the homeless shelter heard I was going to keep him, they took up a collection to pay his adoption fee. They were happy a fellow "homeless" had found a forever home. He's my big guy, weighs about 17 lbs.
Foster Brown (aka Boo Boo Kitty): 3 years old, brown tabby with white chest & feet (my avatar). He was brought into my clinic and I took him to "foster". I failed at being a foster mom. In Dec. 2007 Foster was hit by a car, and his right rear leg was amputated. It hasn't slowed him down, he still catches mice. He's a sensitive guy, knows when I'm not feeling well, and stays on the bed with me until I'm better. He's usually lying on the keyboard when I'm at the computer, and loves to have his tummy rubbed. He has the most beautiful light green eyes. He's 10 lbs.
Bobbie Lee (aka Bobster, Bobalicious, Bobcat): 2 years old, orange tabby with white chest and feet. When about 6 weeks old he was brought into the vet hospital by a lady that said he had been under her trailer for 4 days crying. (How could she listen to him crying that long?) His right rear leg had been tangled up in wires and the circulation cut off. His leg was 3 times it's normal size, black and cold. Since it was a Friday, the vet made plans to ampute on Monday. I brought him home over the weekend to give him his antibiotics and to soak his foot and leg. By Monday pink had returned to the middle paw pad. We didn't amputate, he lost 2 toes, and the leg is skinnier but he gets along great. He's a little hunter cat, his first winter with me, he caught 5 mice, and this summer he's caught 5 squirrels and several chipmunks. He's a little man, weighs about 7 lbs.
