"Sally's sayin' something...

...she's got my heart a thump, thump, thumpin'!

Gonna wrap her up and take her home now!"

 

Well I know if I'm fishing for the voice of reason here, I'm wasting my time.

You guys will only encourage my uncontrollable habit of trying to save these random strays that wander into my life!

Meet Sally. I think that if things work out, she might be the newest resident at Cat Hill Farm.

I have been seeing a little black cat from time to time in my back yard here in Wildwood. He is very handsome, but extremely skittish. I've given him a few handouts, but it's pretty obvious he's not into making friends.

Larry said that he saw him out in our yard this a.m., drinking from our "foot bucket" (for washing sand off your feet), and put a little dish of food out in the driveway for him.

I told Larry that wasn't where I usually leave the dish and went down to move it.

As I was going around to the other side of the house I spied this little girl sitting on the fence solemnly observing me with her big gold eyes. As soon as I tapped the dish and stooped down, she was right there.

She is probably 5-6 months old and VERY hungry. Of course she's CRAWLING with fleas, and she's pretty bit up. I believe she is also pregnant.....sigh! 8-/// She has an extremely charming little personality and isn't at all put off by Raven.

And THIS folks, is why I do not voluntarily ever go out and actively LOOK for cats to adopt. You know how people say, bull do-do happens? Well in my life, cats happen!

LOOK at those gold eyes! I mean REALLY? What was I going to do?

I've fed her. She looks content to hang around the house out on the porch.(Can't bring her in)

I will try and set up an appt. with a local vet on Monday and have her checked out.(Nancy is bringing a carrier when she comes back.) We can deal with the fleas and other parasites. PRAY that her blood work comes back normal.

Her name is Sally. I had nothing much to do with that......she TOLD me that was her name!

All I know is when I 1st saw her, this song started playing in my head! 8-)) 2 more pics in comments.
