Unexpected new arrival

[NEWTODUCKS]

On Sunday I was out giving my ducks and hens their afternoon snack and when calling them to me I could hear a cat from a barn next door to me calling back. Of course I went to investigate expecting to find a lost or injured adult cat requiring help. Instead out comes the most ADORABLE kitten about 8 weeks old, tame as anything, so not feral. I picked it up and brought it in and here, 5 days later, she remains-no sign of an owner-I live in a small village, no one has lost her,so I assume a drive by dumping. Anyway just thought I'd let my poultry family know I now have as well as the ducks,hens,2 dogs,one adult cat, a little calico coloured kitten called Bridie (white with orange and black patches). Her favourite place to sit is on the Aga

Kudos to you on the rescue. 17
I have the opposite problem. In addition to our two house cats we have a barn cat that doesn't stay home. If he's gone one day I don't worry; if he stays gone for more than two I start checking outbuildings to make sure he hasn't gotten trapped. One of our cats was once trapped in an outbuilding for eleven days and survived. I feel kind of silly doing so but if he's not back by day three I start calling our neighbors to see whose house our barn cat is hanging around. :roll:

Enjoy your new kitty.

Well done for looking after her NEWTODUCKS, she obviously knew where to go to find a nice new warm home! She's very cute! 17

I love her to bits already, I just wish she could tell me her story and how she came to be where she was. Atleast she's found herself a home for life now.
