Yesterday was my mother’s 87th birthday so I drove 45 minnutes to go out to lunch with her and my sister. Then we celebrated with a birthday cake at her Assited Living Home. I had my car all packed for plein air painting, I planned to stop on the way home and paint. I scouted out places on the drive there, I spotted a nice shady spot with a view of hay bales in a field, and I spotted some nice barns. But . . . all those plans went out the window when I decided to bring home this sweet little kitten. It was living outside the Assisted Living Home, someone had dropped it off and some of the residents were feeding it on the sly. It really needed a home before the owners of the home discovered it and called the pound. I decided I was the person to give it a home. So we found a box, cut some air holes in it, put the kitty in the box (not as easy as that sounds) and I brought it home.
Traumatic day for the kitty, but that was nothing compared to the visit to the vet this morning.
oooooooh you will both benefit from this union. I love him/her…what a cutie!
Oh my gosh!! She/he is sooo cute. She looks a little apprehensive, but I’m sure with your TLC she will be all over the place and feel right at home.
How is your pochade box coming along? Great idea. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. 🙂
How sweet that you took this kitten home with you! Now you have a wonderful companion while you paint in the studio!
Saint Joan!
You have a heart of pure gold.
I doff my hat to you :o)
I definitely think you should paint that darling little kitty!!!
How kind of you Joan. I’m sure if kitty spoke our language she/he would be saying: Gee thanks mom (or in Uk English: Well thank you mummy!). Looks a cutie.
Just so you know, Joan, I think what you have done is a beautiful thing. This little kity is so needing a loving carer and you have stepped up to the plate.
A few years ago I took in a stray (Leo) and he was the best thing in my life. We were true pals. He has now gone and I miss him like hell.
So, I definitely admire you for your loving spirit and giving this wee guy a home. May you both be blessed.
