Mia's Big Blue Ocean
Our latest addition...
On my last visit to Wegerzyn, this little girl was sitting up near the entrance to the building. It was a pretty, sunny day and as I watched from a distance, everyone who walked by stopped to say hello to her. She was very friendly, but very thin and obviously hungry. There were a lot of sympathetic "awwww's", but people kept on walking. Nobody there volunteered to take her home. So I said to myself - if she's still there when I am finished, if no one else takes her home with them - then I'll take her home with me.
I'm amazed that 500 people could walk right by this little baby and not have the heart to help. Worse yet, its obvious that she was someone's cat and they just dumped her there. The vet said she has recently had a litter of 2 or 3 kittens (that were already weaned) and she had probably been dumped because she did not produce more. No chip, no Craig's list posting, nothing in the paper or on Facebook. Nobody's looking for her.
As far as introductions to the other beasts in the house - well, she stood her ground with the beagles. Most of the other dogs are oblivious. Shadow doesn't know what she is yet, and Cat is not impressed.
