The Newest Addition to the Family

This is Smokey (or Smokee, depending on the sex), the newest addition to our family. We weren't in the market for a new cat, it just happened. Tim was working at the fire department last night and there was a fire at a local groomers. She also happens to board pets. In addition to the boarding, she keeps other animals, trying to find them homes before they have to be sent to rescue shelters. The fire department managed to save maybe 8 dogs (there were a few others that sadly, did not survive), a couple of birds, and this kitten. My darling husband told the groomer and the animal control that if the kitten needed a home, we would take it. He checked back earlier today, and the kitten did need a home. So, $31 (so far) and a bath later, this is how Smokey looks. We think he/she is maybe 4 to 5 weeks old. Smokey is very affectionate and easy going with his/her motor almost constantly running. We'll see how it goes.
