Little One

The "little one" found my back yard to be quite a haven. At first I refused to feed her thinking she would go back home but I saw how skinney she was and offered her a bowl of food. She devoured it in no time at all. She was litteraly starving! I would find her sleeping under the chairs in the back yard or under my pine tree. She wouldn't let you near her and would zoom around the yard. She wouldn't come in the house or use a litterbox. I did the usual inquires for a lost cat with no results so I needed to find a home for her fast because winter was coming. A friend at work, Joan, has a farm in Akron and she came to my house to look at her and wanted to take her right then but the little one zoomed off. I knew she would be perfect for the farm life and was determined to catch her. A couple weeks later I managed to get her in my cats carrier (believe me, this was very hard) and took her to work. Joan took the "little one" home to the farm and named her Baby Doll. That was October 2008. She still lives on the farm and earns her keep by catching mice. She loves the pigs and the chickens and does not hurt either. Joan and her husband love Baby Doll and Baby Doll loves them. I feel very good that I found another stay cat a perfect home.
