(7,354 posts)My sister brought me a little 7 week old kitten last week, rescued from in between rocks of a church foundation. It's been so very cold here, and the poor baby was cold, tired, hungry, and terrified. He just had his first well-kitten check at the vets, and he's just perfect. And, it is a HIM. We really couldn't tell... he's that young.
One of her students brought home a note from his parents saying he could adopt the kitten, and they'd make sure it was taken care of, but I just couldn't stand to give it up. Life has been really hard on me lately, and this little ball of fur has kept me sane and smiling. I couldn't bare to let him go to anyone else. My sister was fine with it... this way, she gets to keep an eye on and visit him. We named him "Gabby." The kids wanted to name him Gideon. I thought of Gabriel, but that quickly got shortened to Gabby... or Gabs... because he has such a loud, insistent voice!
Enjoy your babies. They are our touchstone to sanity these days, I'm convinced.
