The Names Change but the Faces Remain the Same

It’s been a while since Mom posted a story. She says she’s been too busy to write because she has been dealing with poopy kittens – that’s us! In addition to the kittens that were born here – Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbosa, Tia, and me (I’m Elizabeth) - she also took in a very sick orphan kitten named Tinkerbelle and a kitten with a booboo on her butt named Mona.

Tinkerbelle was very sick when she first got here. In fact, she almost died. Tinkerbelle had bad diarrhea and really smelly poo so we all called her Stinkerbelle. Mom worked hard to make Stinkerbelle well. She gave her lots of medicine, force fed her, gave her IV fluids, and bathed her multiple times a day. Slowly but surely Stinkerbelle started getting better and has completely recovered. Since Tink is healthy now Mom says we must drop the ‘S’ from her name. Tinkerbelle is pretty happy about that and so is Mom!

Last week my siblings Jack, Hector, and Tia returned to the MSPCA and immediately found new homes. Hooray!!! Tink and I were not quite big enough so we get to stay in foster a little while longer. While she was at the MSPCA Mom met a lonely kitten named Mona. Mona was originally in a different foster home but she had a booboo on her butt so she had to stay at the shelter for a few days. The vet checked her out and she was doing OK so Mom brought Mona and her medicine home so we could keep her company. Her butt is still a little sore but she is doing well and, unlike Tink, is eating up a storm! She was eating so much we started calling her Fatty Pants! Mom recently discovered that Mona is actually a boy so we needed to come up with a new name. Mom was thinking about calling him Fatty Arbuckle but it wasn’t “sticking” so his new name is Fat Albert. Albert says you can call him anything you want as long as he gets lots of cuddling and lots of food!

Tink and I are ready to go up for adoption but we are going to hang out here until Albert is ready to return too. He has a checkup in a few days so it may be soon. We can’t wait to find our forever homes just like the rest of our siblings did!
