My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

A kitty showed up one day asking for food. The kind couple fed her. She kept coming back until, one day, she disappeared. A week later she came back, hungry and "with child." The couple let her into their home and during the summer heat she rested with her round belly directly under the swamp cooler. Her kittens were finally born, all 8 of them. At 6 weeks, the couple started giving them away. Then they moved, took the kittens with them and abandoned Rita.

Soon after, there was a plea on a local Facebook group for a mama kitty to nurse an orphaned kitten that had lost its mother to dogs. The couple responded with the last known address of mama. Mama was located and rescued. She was very frightened. She was taken to the orphaned kitten but to no avail. She was done with kittens. It turns out that she also hates dogs. She wouldn't tolerate a tiny Chihuahua and screamed like a banshee at its sight. So, she ended up in my care. I named her Rita and it suits her well. Lady Rita on some days. She is a pretty little thing, slender with soft and shiny fur. She likes other cats but objects, loudly, to rough play. She is vaccinated, spayed and will be microchipped before adoption.
