Dear Santa, here's my contact info in case some wonderful family wants to adopt me for Christmas!
This is Axel. One of our technicians was leaving the building late at night a couple weeks ago and caught a glimpse of a kitten in a big drainage pipe near the parking lot of our practice. She set out a Have-A-Heart trap and for 2 days and 2 nights through freezing temperatures, rain, frost, and wind, the trap remained empty. On the third morning, there was Axel, huddled up in the back of the trap.
I can't tell you how much he reminds me of Riceball/Royalty (for Riceball/Royalty's story you can go to this link www.flickr.com/photos/77654185@N07/25975226737/in/photoli...). When you reach for him, he cowers away as if he expects to be hurt but the second you make contact, he starts purring and melts into you. He LOVES laps and head rubs and if you stop petting him too soon, he gently taps you to remind you he is still there, waiting for more. Riceball was just the same. He also had to be reminded daily how much he loved laps and being petted.
We estimate Axel is about 5 months old and is now neutered, vaccinated and ready to be adopted.
Thanks to my mom, Bennilover, and Flickr Friends Regina, Chickpea and Bigbird, it looks like an informal group is being started based on themes I wanted to use while taking pictures in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. We chose "Words" for this week's theme. The "words" in my photo this week are Axel's contact information on an old business card for our practice. If you would like to join our informal group, feel free to post pictures of "Words" this week or "On the ground" - last week's theme.
