We Adopt a Kitten

As a brief background to our new kitten's story, I'll tell you we have two other cats: a 4.5 year old red tabby (Shoga) and a solid, silky black female part Maine Coon (Roxy). Both were barn kittens, semi-feral, and brought home by 5 weeks of age, before their mothers could teach them the ways of the wild. Roxy came with her brother, a dilute tabby of Maine Coon heritage (and calico barncat mother) by the name of Lexi - but his is a story for another posting. We lost him, tragically, in early December, 2010, and he left a huge, fuzzy hole in all our hearts.

This is the story of Levi, our new baby, Roxy and Shoga's new 'brother', and the delight that he is to our lives.  Levi is a tabby, 4 months old.  He and his sister were from a litter of feral kittens found by Cats Anonymous, in Orton, Ontario.  He and his sister Abby were raised in foster care, spayed/neutered and given their appropriate shots etc, until they could be sent to Ruffins, in Georgetown, to find their forever homes in open hearts.

I'll tell you more of Levi's story shortly...
