OKay Dopers, We have a foster kitten living with us, thanks to a somewhat ignorant teenage boy that saw the three week old fuzzball alone and assumed she was an orphan - so now she effectively is :(. We names her Poppy, since she came to us on the 10th of November. We have been fostering her and she has just started eating some wet food (instead of just milk replacement) and today (fanfare) used the litter for the first time! She can’t stay here, since we already have a cat, dog, guinea pig and a grumpy husband that says no way - so if anyone is looking for a new baby, here are some pics… [Poppy 1](http://www.flickr.com/photos/poysyn/5179085788/) [Poppy 2](http://www.flickr.com/photos/poysyn/5178480749/) ---

Psst - what’s the location? I have no need for another cat, I just came in to see the pictures. 🙂 ---

Hmmm. Yeah, need a location. I might consider it, if the logistics of transfer are feasible. However, she’d be renamed if she became my new feline overlord. Probably Belle Boyd, a fictional, yet formidable, female from a western series I liked. ---

Sorry, that’s just not doable for me. I’m so far from there, poor kitty would think she’d been shipped off to Hell itself in the summer time. ---

SQUEE! I’m in Oakminster’s situation, sadly: too far away. Otherwise I would consider. She’s adorable! ---

Gotta bump, 'cause she’s so adorable. I’m on the other end of the continent, so no go. But we have a lot of Canadians here…perhaps a Mod might be able to adjust the title to reflect where the kitten is so people will be more likely to open and see just where in Canada? ---

If it weren’t an issue getting a critter across the border, I’d consider. Though my landlords and my family (they kennel my current when i’m traveling) would probably veto. Poor wee one.
