The Goblin kitty is back! (with pics) [View All]

Remember this little guy?





I got him on Freecycle; only two weeks old and in dire need of someone to bottle feed him (the woman who rescued him was deathly allergic).

After a few weeks his ears had not unfolded. He looked like a furry little Goblin:





Two weeks later and *poink* up went the ears!



Even though he loved to play with my kitty Oberon, he still needed siblings to help him learn how to behave (use the litter box, not bite so hard, groom himself, etc):



So off he went with another foster mom. She placed him with other kittens his age. Sadly, most of those kittens passed away when a horrible new strain of distemper swept through all the local shelters and rescue groups. Somehow, the Goblin survived.



Two days ago he was returned to me, finally healthy again, neutered, and with all his shots. I took him to my holistic pet food store with my other foster kittens. He was adopted right away! The couple who adopted him work at EA sports, which is where many of my former colleagues from Disney Animation went to work. Small world! They have a female cat who is SO desperate for a kitty to "mother" that she carries around a stuffed toy, grooms it, and tries to nurse it! It's the perfect situation; she needs someone to love, and he never had a kitty mom to mother him (he was abandoned at two days old). They should be just what each other needed. :-)

So here's the little Goblin; still small, still odd (and squinting from the flash) and still a little lovekitty.
