Look What Bessie Brought In
This morning, we had rain, rain, rain. Bessie stopped in to see me before she went to work at the diner, then a few minutes later she returned. She had a drenched little shaking ball of wet in her t-shirt. I toweled the little bit off, and she got a baby blanket from the basement.
Bessie had to go to work, leaving me with my new friend.
Once the little bit of fluff dried off and stopped shaking, it fell asleep clutched in my arms for a long time. Then when it woke up, we tried some stinky goodness. Only a tiny bit at a time, because under the fluff is skin & bones. Plus, both ears are full of scabs, probably from ear mites, and its eyes are gummy and runny. So a trip to the V-E-T is in order for Monday.
I haven't gotten a good look through the floof under the tail yet, so I'm not sure if it's a little boy or girl. Right now, I'm calling it Ubee. Because that's what I kept murmuring as it was shaking, "You'll be all right" became "U bee alllll riiight" until it fell asleep.
Jazper isn't too thrilled, but he got a sniff, then the sun came out and he decided a nap in the display window was in order.
Now Ubee is asleep in the PTU, after a bit more stinky goodness, and I am taking a break to get a late lunch - and show you all Ubee's first photos.

Awwww ... despite the obvious wear and tear, Ubee is very cute. Poor little thing.
ReplyDeleteUbee is cute and very lucky to be with you now. We hope he/she get feeling better soon.
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs for the weekend from the Dutch cats!:)
Ubee is very cute - we love those bright eyes even if a little runny. Not the Mama & Bessie - as formally homeless kitties ourselves, we would like to thank you for taking care of this little one. We know you will find Ubee a good furrever home.
ReplyDeleteHello Morgan! This is Miss Peach...we have not met before, but I have always liked your photo when I have come across it, you look cuddley like my LapDaddy:)
ReplyDeleteIf you visit me today, my post should enclude some Warm & Fuzzies for you...I should enclude your name:) from what I read here in the cliff notes before I have my morning coffee. I will be back! I love your mulberry paper backdrop...very soothing to the eyes.
What a little cutie! You are such a good rescuer. I think Ubee is a great name, too.
ReplyDeleteawww, i want ubee, sigh...
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee
Awwwwwww! Ubee is beyond adorable! You're such good people to care for homeless kitties! We wanna purr all over you and Bessie. Do you need money for the vet? Or does the rescue organization you work with help with those things? Our Lady's willing to help if you need it. That little fluff reminds her of a kitty that came before, and she really really really wants to cuddle him/her (not to mention keep him/her). Purrrrrrrrs!
ReplyDeleteYou need a superhero outfit with a cape on it: "Morgen the Kitty-Rescuer!!!"
ReplyDeleteUp, up, and awaaaaayyy!!!
He is a doll baby Disney cat! He looks like my poor dear Waldo from many moons ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet kitty. This one should find a permanent home pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteBTW - Ubee is a great name!
What a lucky baby to find you for a foster not the momma for a time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little ball of fluff!
ReplyDeleteoh what a sweetie. We hope Ubee is able to get all better after a vet visit ~The Fluffy Tribe
ReplyDeleteUbee is so lucky to have found a great protector! What a big heart you have to help such a little, helpless one!
ReplyDeleteXXO
Tara and Kavan
PS Thanks for the birthday wish!
What a sweetheart! And the kitty is cute, too.
ReplyDelete♥♥♥
Oh MO looks like baby kitty has a respatory infection. Baby might need a trip to the vet for some antibiotics. Poor little baby kitty. Get well soon little baby
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for Not The Mama! Ubee hit the stray kitty jackpot!
ReplyDeleteHow sad. Who could abandon the little thing like that?
ReplyDeleteYour vet bills must be huge. You're the best.
Awww...who could turn that away?! So sweet.
ReplyDeleteHow precious is this Mo! I just know this little cutie is going to have a great home. I just know it. What a great story. :)
ReplyDeleteWowww... Ubee is waaayyyyy too cute! I agree with all the above posts that you are wonderful, Mo. I am so happy that you and Bessie are are caring for this little gem. I want that baby! I'd play Mom & Dr./Nurse all at once to a baby like that. Alas, I'm too far away and I've promised my Shadow that he can be an only cat until his time ends. He's 16 1/2 and not about to accept a second cat in the house, haha.
ReplyDeleteReba (http://rebasrun.blogspot.com) and I are both putting this blog on our Animals that Blog blog rolls... we hope you'll add us to your links if you haven't already.
Hugs from me and my furkids.
Oh, how super cute! You are such a kitty angel, Mo.
ReplyDeleteOh, such a little guy. Obviously there's an eye infection going on. Probably needs a round of antibiotics.
ReplyDeleteBless you for your work in caring for all these strays!
