Lemur Monkey Cat

This is the latest rescue. I stand by my belief that her mom brought her to us, because the day before the mother cat (also known as Gremlin) spent the afternoon on our front porch watching all our cats inside. Then the next morning this little girl showed up, and seemed to be goaded into the trap by her own mother (who hopefully isn't really that smart because she's next on the cutting board).

Here she is on the first day with her stuffed kitten to keep her company:


















It's a little hard to see what Lemur Cat looks like in the above picture, but it's basically like this:












She has the biggest eyes with dark circles around them, a grey head, an all white body except for a few grey circles, and a grey tail. Seriously, she's like the cat version of a Lemur Monkey. And now that she's been inside two weeks and is on the mend, I'll have to take some better pictures of her for the site. She's still in isolation (bad case of ear mites and worms), but she's on meds and in the midst of getting all her vaccinations so soon she'll be ready for adoption. She also has an appointment to get spayed the first weekend of April (Madeline is tagging along for that as well so they can be recovery buddies).

By April 15th she'll finally be off the medication, have all her vaccines and be sterilized so she can find her forever home. Of all the cats and kittens we've rescued thus far, this is the only one that from the first moment we caught her was calm and friendly. She loves to just sit in your lap and purr, and while she plays a little bit, snuggling is much higher on the to do list.
She also has no real name, other than little lemur.
