The word must be out in the feline community that Courtney and I are sucker for cats. When Courtney went out to water the plants in the yard this afternoon, she received a visitor:

This kitten was so sweet. He actually jumped into the neighbors’ car just as they were about to leave. After being jettisoned, he hung around our house and meowed non-stop. He was extremely friendly and allowed us to pet him and even pick him up and hold him. He has no collar and hasn’t been neutered, so he’s likely a stray. We didn’t feel comfortable having him roam around the neighborhood, dodging cars and potentially adding to the cat population, so we took him in for the night. As much as we would like to keep him, seeing that we have three cats in our little house already, we can’t take on any more. We’ve contacted the Goathouse Cat Refuge and are hoping the good people there can take him in (they have more than 160 cats, so what’s one more?).

In the mean time, if you live in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area and are interested in adopting this sweet kitten, contact us. He looks like he’s less than a year old and is very affectionate, rubbing against our legs all the time, begging for petting, and even sitting on Courtney’s lap. We’ve got him separated from our cats for the time being and are planning to take him to the vet today or tomorrow to give him a checkup and make sure he’s healthy.

Here’s a short video clip of him. C’mon, you know you want to take him home.
