Possible new furry addition to family

Soooo I might be getting a cat. My mom called me a little after 7 this morning in tears. I thought someone had died because she was so upset. But she said while she was ironing she could hear meowing in the backyard and looked out the window to see where the cat was, and then saw a dark mass in the middle of the solar cover on the above ground pool they have. She ran out and got the pool net and was able to drag the cat over, but she was soaked and not moving much and my mom thought she had a broken leg. So I went with her to the vet because she didn't want to go alone and it's about 5 minutes from my work.

 She doesn't appear to have any broken bones, just very cold and they're working on trying to get her body temp up because it was only about 84 and I guess 100 is normal for cats. She's beautiful! She's a torti with beautiful shades of orangey red in her and a white chin and green eyes. If she's okay and doesn't have any problems, I might be bringing her home this afternoon. I wasn't planning on this at all, but she's so cute and I feel horrible that she was in the pool probably over night. She had giant mats on her back that my mom thought when she first looked were her leg (hence her thinking it was broken) but they shaved those off. She's clearly a stray that they think is about 3-4 years old, and we just have to make sure she's not pregnant or sick. DH has been gone all week for work, so obviously he knows nothing about this. But we've been discussing getting a kitten recently, and he's wanted a cat, so I don't think he'll be upset, especially when he finds out what happened to her.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up in case she does have something wrong with her, but I'm already trying to think of names, haha. Just had to share how my morning went and that I might have a new bundle of furry joy this afternoon!

  • I'm getting more and more excited as the morning goes on. My mom was going to call on her lunch break around 12:30, then call me to let me know how she's doing. It's been such a crappy week at work that this is making me feel better. Also, I've thought of a name that I probably won't stick with, but I think is suiting to her situation. Does anyone remember the old Disney movie called the Three Lives of Thomasina? I feel like Thomasina would be a fitting name for her even though it's older, since she had a near death experience and hopefully will be starting life number 2 with us. Yeah I'm a dork, haha. We'll have to wait and see how she does and if a name chooses her though!
  • Poor kitty!  I hope everything works out and you can bring her home!  I think Thomasina would be a really cute name.

  • Update on kitty! My mom just called after she talked to the vet and they said that she is doing much better than this morning. She's very alert, talking away and eating food. Her temp still isn't up to where they would like it, so they're going to be keeping her there until later this afternoon, which is fine since I'm working till 4 anyway. My mom is going to meet me with one of their cat carriers at the vet and assuming everything is okay, I'll be bringing her home! Still can't wait to see H's face when he sees what I brought home. :-)
  • YAY!!! You'll have to post pics of your new kitty. And i love Thomasina :)
