We adopted a kitten from a guy we found on Cr@igslist, a very kind, lovely man who will be known forever here as "Jeff Kitty Guy." Our kitten was a foundling raised by Jeff and his family, who bottle-fed her from about two weeks old on - they couldn't keep her because their very large dog was eyeballing her and obviously dreaming of a furry little lunch. They found her trapped in a hole they'd dug on Jeff's father's property, and were about to bury a pole in it for a new pole building. Seeing the kitty, they fixed a tiny noose, looped it around her neck and carefully pulled her up. Her mama was long gone by then, probably having tried without success to rescue her. Poor baby!
