Anyone want a kitten?

So I probably shouldn't be using the blog for something personal, but what the hey. My significant other brought home a stray kitten last night that she just couldn't let go. Unfortunately, we're both highly allergic to cats and can't keep her for long.

So here's the deal: She's less than 6 months old. She's incredibly sweet and wants to be held all the time. And if you want her shoot me an e-mail at jjones@news-record.com or give me a call at 883-4422 ext 228.

The bad news: she's a bit sick. Whoever had her left a flea collar on that she must've been allergic to. It left an open sore, but that's already started to heal since we cut the collar off. She's also got a little cough and we're trying to get her into a vet's office this afternoon to get her some antibiotics.

Because of the wound and the sickness, I'm afraid to take her to the shelter. They've got as many cats as they can handle and I'd hate for such a sweet animal to get put down out of necessity.

Update: The SPCA of the Triad was kind enough to take her in and nurse her back to health. I feel awful that I couldn't do it myself, daggum allergies. Anyway, they'll put her up for adoption once she's healthy and been spayed. So keep an eye out for her here. Or better yet, think about getting one of the others.
