A Halloween Rescue

I was back at the shelter today.  Why do I go the day before the vet comes to euthanize them?  I've been sitting here agonizing over the little faces that won't be there when I go back.  The shelter seemed very full and I'm guessing they won't be cancelling the vet. 

As I was trying to figure out who to rescue, I went to the intake area of the shelter and found this little girl who had arrived a few minutes earlier.  I accidently left the video running with the cap on, so please shut the video down at about 45 seconds:
 


It seemed appropriate to rescue a black kitten on Halloween.  I'm dying to name her "Harriet", but I think I'll leave that up to her new foster Mom.

We also have a new foster kitten at my home:
He's about 12 weeks old and is purring and kneading.  I love him already.  I've been trying to think of a good name for this guy.  Bradley?  Norman?  I guess he'll let me know....

The staff at the shelter has a favourite that needs help very badly.  Her name is "Geri" - I hope somebody watching this video will come forward for her:



What a little sweetheart.  But they all are.  Bless their little hearts.

Love Harriet....we had fosters once with that silver/white tipping - and by the time they were old enough to be adopted, they were pitch black. Made us laugh.....
