Kitten Found a Home

As you all know, I was looking for a home for my kitten that I found a month ago. (I say my kitten like I formed some sort of attachment to her. Ok, I'll admit it's true.) Last night, her new mom, a cat lover named Caroline, excitedly took her home. I met Caroline about six months ago when she had just moved to Phnom Penh. With good luck, she recognized my name on a forum announcement I sent out.

I'm so happy I found the kitten a good home, but I was a little sad to see her go. She was a little miracle in my life that got me through my final month in Phnom Penh. Playful company to bridge that gap between a month of travel and my departure home - a perfect distraction.

Do you believe in mini miracles? I do.

Please Adopt This Kitten

I have this problem and it's not my fault. You see, I'm something of a pet rescuer. It started with my family's second dog, Roxanne, that I found during my middle school years wondering the streets of our neighborhood. Over the years we've taken in a number of strays and recluses, so it's only natural that I would take this character flaw with me overseas.

A couple a weeks ago I found the cutie pictured above wondering the halls of my building. She was only a few weeks old, malnourished and with a broken foot, so of course I had to take her in. Now, I'm not much of a cat person, but she was pathetically skinny and frightened, I couldn't just leave her to the elements.

Now I'm in a predicament. It's nice to have a pet around, but I'm leaving for the States in 5 weeks. I could take her with me (I named her Meeka), but it would be expensive (200 percent extra baggage costs plus a possible quarentine) and I'm not sure where I can keep a cat since my family (myself included) is allergic to cats.

So for all of you in Cambodia, this is my desperate plea to find this sweet little kitten a good family. Her foot is better and according to the vet at Agrovet, she is in good health. She's still too young for her vaccinations, but willing to negotiate those with a willing family. She eats well, uses the litter box and seems to get along well with other pets. Message me if you or anyone you know wants to adopt.
