I've been really busy updating my sites Handipets Haven  and Sidney's Paw  and keeping contact with one of my cat groups.  I have been looking forward to sharing pics of our newest rescue.  His name is Odie.  We found him the end of September, right after hurricane Katrina our gas stations were running out of gas.  We got word that one station still had premium gas so I waited till after midnight when my check would be deposited.  We took our car running on fumes to a gas station that was a little further than we would usually safely travel...but we made it and they did have gas.  While pumping Amy heard a pathetic cat cry.  We followed the cry to find a wee kitten tangled in thorn vines by a curb.  He was covered in ants and bitten up, he was on a major highway.  We looked around for a momma...he was way too young to be without a momma, but no momma was found.  We took him because he would have been killed in a few hours as the traffic on that road is terrible and if the traffic didn't kill him, the starvation and dehydration would have.

Very quickly we learned that little Odie was a good little hunter, not used to cat food, but would rip your hand off for a piece of raw meat.  The vicous little think reminded you of "Chucky"!   We were also in luck that we had a momma cat who had lost her babies but had milk.  She took Odie under her paw and raised him up.  Odie is now a healthy little boy who will still rip your  hand off for a piece of raw meat...but at least he does eat cat food now.
Here is little Odie
