Welcome Penelope

Welcome Penelope


 Meet our new kitten.
Penelope has stolen our hearts.


 Of course she has a story to go along with moving in with our family.
During my week on my Meals on Wheels route, while stopping into the kitchen to pick up the meals, one of the cooks mentioned she found a kitten on the side of the road. She said it was Siamese and just the sweetest thing. She asked if I knew of anyone who would like a Siamese.
She showed me a few photos of her and I knew right away who would love to have her, me.

Jane brought her to our home and showed us the wounds she had. We all felt she must have been hit by a car. My dad helped us clean her wounds. She would purr when we cleaned her wounds and put her medicine in her ears. She had mites in her ears. They were so gross!!  

She slowly began to heal. She began to eat more and more. 
She got stronger and stronger.
Then one day, we knew she would be okay. We all gave a cheer.

She loves her pet (fake) mice, cozy rugs and sitting on your lap.

  1. She is gorgeous! We had a Siamese cat, and they are very loving. They love attention, as well. Your first picture, with her mouse in front of her, is so pretty! And now you are her hero!! Do you know how old she is? Or should I say how YOUNG she is?

  3. Penelope is a very lucky kitten! You are the perfect family for her. And isn't she pretty! I wish I knew another vet like Doc Horvath, but I don't. Our very own James Herriot has retired. We took T&S to the Barron Vet Clinic. They were ok. I've got to stop in sometime and see Penelope.Glad to hear that Molly is doing better! xo

  5. Carla, I am so glad you have her. She is such a pretty kitten, and pretty darn lucky too. I worry about all the kittens and puppies that are neglected and thrown around. You have a kind heart.

  12. Oh she is just beautiful, and has definitely found her dream home. Siamese cats are often quite talkative, is she?
