KC a.k.a Tough A#s Tortie

I think everyone knows KC's story by now, but just in case, here it is again:



Karen C (Grr, Midnight & Cocoa) volunteers at a shelter during the week. For some reason, she stopped by on a Sunday. They were just bringing in a tiny kitten who had been picked up on the wharf. This kitten, who only weighed a few ounces, had a rap sheet and was promptly given a "yellow dot". Karen started playing with the vicious kitten and instantly fell in love. She promised the kitten that she save her from the back room and find her a home. Deb (The Taylor Catsssss) got involved in the process of getting the kitten released for adoption. It took her hundreds of phone calls and emails. Karen snuck food in to feed the kitten and talked to her. That Friday, it was a highly coordinated effort, as Deb got the kitten released and Karen rushed into the shelter to pick her up. The kitten spent her first night with The Triple Threat, Karen and her daughters. During her brief time there, they imparted a great deal of kitty knowledge to her. The next day, she was put on a plane for a five-hour flight to Houston. I was certain I did not want a second cat, right up until the crate door opened and I saw that little bit of bright fluff. I picked her up and would not let her go. On the car ride home, she crawled up to the front seat and got on Charley's shoulder and stayed there. There was never any doubt her name would be KC, in honor of Karen C, who saved her from the back room. She has a middle initial, D, in honor of Deb. She has grown into an absolute beauty of a cat, as Dr. Smith, her vet says, she is a goddess. She climbs, she hunts, she talks in melodious tones, she plays and she snuggles. -ML
