Snuffles, summer 2009

This is Snuffles, one of my first cats. One night my dad said to me that he had seen a mother cat with four kittens cross the road the night before. An animal lover like myself, I was interested right away.

Even though I am really a dog person, I just couldn't say no to the homeless kittens. I named them Snuffles, Lucky, Lucy and Oddball, but I would later find out that there was one other kitten, who we would change to Lucy, and the original Lucy would be Lu.

Snuffles was a sweet calico cat, and we connected right away. We bacame fast friends, and she suprised us with three healthy litters of kittens, and now, she has eight grandkittens too. Two and a half years old, I love her, and I always will.
