Rhett turns four!

Happy Birthday, Rhett, a few weeks late!

I canNOT believe it has been four whole years since Eugenia called to ask for help when three feral cats gave birth to 14 kittens under their city of Ithaca porch. We snagged most of them in one night, and 12 ended up testing positive for FeLV. Twelve FeLV kittens!

Eugenia and Phill gave six of them the run of their house, and gave the kittens all warm and loving (indoor) lives until illness took five of them, at ages ranging from six months to two years. But here is sweet Rhett, passing his fourth birthday and doing great. Eugenia said he did test positive for FeLV again last fall.

If love can keep a cat alive, Rhett will live a long and wonderful life with Eugenia and Phil (and the Motley Crew feral cat colony that they care for as well).

Thanks for visiting, Eugenia, and for the photos. Good luck catching Scrappy!
