UPDATE: We took the kitten to the vet today to get her shots, and she tested positive for feline AIDS. There is a possibility that she may not be infected and she just still has antibodies from her mothers milk, so we are going to take her back to the vet in another month. So she is off the give away market for at least a month.

The vet says she is about six weeks old. We found her, or realized we had found her this morning (Sunday June 3rd). Friday night when we were leaving an art show opening at Ink Spot downtown we heard a cat meowing, and thought it was in the tree we had parked beside. Saturday my wife, Jerri, said she heard the same cat when we were next to the car. In typical southern husband fashion, I told her she was being silly it was just a neighborhood cat in the bushes next to our garage. This morning we both heard the cat from inside the Honda while driving through Belhaven. After this inscrutable proof of my wife being correct, we stopped on the side of the road and removed the fender well from around the right front tire and were able to pull out the kitten. We took her to the Emergency Animal Clinic, where she was pronounced “really hungry, but otherwise fine.” If you have or know of a good home for this kitten give me (Roy) or my wife (Jerri) a call.

Please forward this to your friends.
Thanks
Roy
P.S. if you notice the odd mustache in pictures the vet said she had just gotten something sticky on her face, should wear off.
I will update this post when we find a good home . . .
you oughta keep it. i’m sure it’d get along swimmingly with your dogs.
yeah, and our very old anti-social cat whom you failed to mention.
We are not keeping it.
but its sooooooo cute.
and, surely, a cat riding around in your wheel well is a sign that you and the cat were meant to be together. How did it get there? How did it survive? Who else would try to transport cats in wheel-wells?
You should name the cat “little buddy” or maybe “little Enos”
Gorjus thinks we should call the cat “fender” but I am sticking with “free to a good home.” It is a mouthful, but hopefully it also conveys a deeper meaning.
Fender is good. Its got a nice ambiguity; it might be named for a guitar.
How is your anti-social cat taking the new visitor? Maybe she’ll warm up to little Fender.
Kittens (and cats) are cool.
Also, I thought about “Inky” because she was by the Ink Spot.
“fender” is pretty goddamn good.
hell wah, you just need to throw all of ‘em in a room and just let ‘em work it out.
While I have not confirmed this with Wyatt, I bet that, if you came to B’more with Fender, we would keep her(?). I get two great things out of this: (1) a new playmate for Liberty; and (2) a chance to see you two again. Don’t ask Wyatt in advance, though. That would ruin all of the fun.
I think its all part of a kitten’s self-defense mechanism to avoid getting given away. Their bodies have learned to develop the antibodies for feline AIDS/HIV, so that you can’t give them away.
THEIR CUTENESS KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
Has Fender settled in? Are you keeping the ball of cute, lovable goodness? Have you been keeping the cats separate? What’s going on? Inquiring minds want to know.
We are keeping Fender separate from our other animals until we have the second test to find out for sure if she has feline immunodeficiency or not. We would still like to find a good home for her, but we don’t want to give her to someone without them being aware of her possible health problems.
I’d love to keep her. I got a great home. Is the feline AIDS able to get passed on to my cat? But anyways I love doing great things for animals and I would love to take her in.
