She's adorable! I'm glad that she has found a loving home despite her special needs. I particularly love the pic of her having her tummy tickled!I've got some awesome news! Nocturne, one of my foster kitties, is going to be officially adopted today!!!!! She is a special needs girl, she has hydrocephalus, or spinal fluid on her brain, which makes her a little different then the others. But she is one of the sweetest things I know. She just now cuddled up next to me and is chilling while her sisters play near-by. Here she is, 10 weeks old and adorable! She's even got some food on her noes.I was there the moment she was born at the shelter, helping her because she was premature and weak. Two of her siblings passed away.
She was so tiny, always prone to wandering. Even at just a couple days of age we had to put a belt through the cage door so she couldn't crawl through it and get lost.
At a week of age she was the size of a day old, as were her siblings, and she came to our home to be fostered. Lyla, her mother, Twilight and Oziana, her sister's, and little Nox herself.
She grew. She was the darkest of the kittens, with a lighter back-half and darker front-half. She needed to be stimulated to use the bathroom because her mother was having trouble doing that herself.
She started to crawl around.
They slept most of the time, but Nocturne was always either hiding in the back or crawling out to the door of the walk-in-closet where she would have to be picked up and put back in her nest.
Here she is, staring a corner with her sisters.
Her head started to get very round and large and her eyes bulged.
But she was learning how to eat. She was moved up into my room at about 4 weeks of age.
Her mother was always sweet and nurturing, giving them plenty of milk and love.
But she would cry (okay, scream really, really loud) for attention at the door for cuddles even at a young age, toddling her way to the door and crying to be held.
She loved tummy tickles.
But still played with her sisters too.
Always sweet, very limp when picked up as if her mother were holding her. Easily startled at first, but now just very cuddly.
She is 11 weeks old, vaccinated, and ready for her new life. : )
