The Wait is OVER!

"Will there ever be kittens again?"  I asked the Foster Room in an email yesterday.

Soon after, I received a response from Ruth announcing there was an available set! They had come in late the afternoon before, and had been waiting to get the once-over from Doc before they could move on to a foster home.  


Ten minutes later I was at the shelter to scoop them up, and THIS is one of the morsels I returned  home with.  


Please give a warm welcome to Miss Chesley Higgenbottom.

Chesley is a sweet, pensive girl.  She's sharp, she's bright, she's slight, and the smallest in the set. Her coat is a short, soft gray and she has a few tufts of white on her chest and near her ears.  If you look closely, you can see some very subtle tabby markings on her forehead. 


Chesley is named after a very dear human I know. Chesley rhymes with Elvis Presley.  



Welcome, dear thing!  Our wait for you has been a long one, but OH, were you worth it!

  8. "Morsel." **sigh** A dumb word when referring to chocolate, but a perfect description for a kitten.

  13. I love her name! I've never heard 'Chesley' before, and it's wonderful. What a cutie, with that dab of white on her chest and the faint tabby marks on her forehead.

  18. What a little darling, aww. She has such an unusual eye color; what would you call that, sand with hints of blue? I wonder if they will stay that color!

  22. Beautiful little Chesley. She is a soft little grey shadow of a kitty! Can't wait to see the rest of the family.

  23. I think this is going to be the longest two weeks of Charlene and Wylla's lives, waiting until they get to meet their new charges. But boy, oh, boy, will it be worth it! Chesley is lovely. Can't wait to meet the rest of the set!

  24. What a pretty, pretty girl, and such a lovely, soft grey coat. I'm thinking these pics will make for some very nice repeat blizzard viewing as we hunker down this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region.

  25. Take care! Hubby is from out there so I am aware that you guys aren't used to it or equipped for it, like we are in the midwest. (Not fun even here of course.) So thoughts & prayers-- from Arowyn

    1. Thanks. I'm a former California gal, and I try to avoid driving in it. My husband is from Ohio and can handle driving in it, but then there are all those folks on the road who can't drive in it. We're just hunkering down with LG. :-)

  26. Eva,
    Our new Unexpected Baby (someone dumped him out here in November) has brown eyes-- like dark sand or light chocolate, with a hint of blue or grey near the iris. They went from blue to green but kept going, and have settled at a definite light brown, and he is nearly 14 weeks old now so we think it's permanent. And it's not copper (which is rare but more common than brown), and is very pretty. Very like many cheetahs have. Looked it up and found some pics of adult cats with that color, so it does happen and even stay. Of course green, gold, copper, or blue are all gorgeous too, but I happen to just love brown eyes (hubby has them, LOL) so this is cool! Some extra reward for the work of taking him in and getting him healthy, not that that, and having his love, isn't reward enough!
    Chesley's expression reminds me of our Aegir's-- she too is pensive and quiet, our little Jane Eyre kitty as we call her. They are their own kind of special delight to have around. (You can tell as you behold Chesley she will do someone good...)-- from Arowyn
