Wait and see what the kitten's personality is like. Hard yes (cause we
are so not keeping Creamsicle as this new boy's name) but worth it, I
think.

(for those not on fb, our beloved Lily had major jaw problems stemming
from either cancer or the polyp in her ear pressing on a nerve. She
couldn't eat. If the cancer had been anywhere else other than her
mouth,
we would have gone the treatment route, but the mouth--it just wasn't
fair to keep her in pain. So we had her put to sleep this morning. And
yes, we immediately got a new catten--he's just over a year--because we
knew that even three days without, which is what it was between Lance
and Lily--is too long. So Lily saved a life in giving hers. So a suck
morning, but better afternoon.)

Jenny, I'm very sorry for your loss. I understand why you would want to
give a home to another cat in need so soon. We lost our cat Omaha two
years ago, and began looking for rescue a rescue cat the next day. We
couldn't stand how quiet the house was when we got home from work that
morning. We ended up with 4 kittens- the plan was to get 1 adult cat,
but the shelter had just taken in over 60 kittens from some mill that
was breeding them to sell for medical research. They were all so cute,
but vet bills on 60 kittens would have been a bit much. I hope you
find a great name for your new friend.
