We have somehow been blessed through the years by having two abandoned kitties "adopt" us!

One was a precious, tiny, black-and white fur-baby, probably not more than 6-8 weeks old, who was cowering and meowing pitifully in our storm drain. How she ended up there, we will never know. She may have been deliberately abandoned.

She was afraid of us, at first. We fed her and allowed her time to adjust to our presence for well over a week, until one day she climbed right up into my husband's lap. He fell in love with her. We named her "Sprinkles."

She was such a lovely presence in our home. Your Patches is so beautiful. Cats are special. Ours have certainly enhanced our lives.
