Guest Feature: Cats the Nine Lives Foundation

I know it isn't a Monday but I figured since I'm getting back into the blog I don't have to stick strictly to that schedule.

Walking into the shelter at first was very overwhelming; there are cats EVERYWHERE. They have a tons of cages filled with cats and little cages with bunches of kitten (squeeee!).  Every time I went to visit Milford before I could pick him up, I held a kitten.  So cute but I could not take on the work.  They have a cage for FIV+ kitties because this is a no-kill shelter (yay!).  I almost got this HUGE FIV+ six-toed siamese instead, but I knew in my heart that Milford was the boy for me.

Being the great cat mom that I am, I accidentally thought this was my kitty on my second visit to the shelter.  I was a little sad cause this cat wasn't that sweet and I was a little disappointed with his personality.  Then i realized I was taking pictures of the wrong cat, whoops!

Cute, but not as cute as Milford.

 
Satan kitty who screamed at me every time I accidentally got close.

Super playful kitty in Milford's cage, if anyone wants a cat that LOVES to play and jump around she is amazing!

Jail cat!

Kittens!

Hammock of kittens!

You Can Always Tell a Milford Man

Please welcome Milford, the new resident cat of the Daily Bandito!  I picked him up from the Nine Lives Rescue in Redwood City, CA.  It's a wonderful no kill shelter that takes in Bay Area kitties after their times are up at city shelters.  Poor Milford had been in the shelter since December after his time was up at the San Jose shelter.  He is quiet and enjoys hiding himself into corners and watching the world.  But if you approach him and give his head a scratch, he's more than happy to come out for more affection.  So far Milford has been very cautious of his surroundings but that stop him from coming into my room in the middle of the night and jumping on my bed totally waking me up and freaking me out.  Thanks buddy.  I hope he settles in soon, but the house is a little chaotic since we're still moving in!  These photos are all taken when I was visiting him in the shelter before I could take him home.
