I took the new kitty to the vet today for her first shots and overall exam. The outside temperature was -22f so I went out early to get the truck started. It was a near thing, but it did start and after I got the kitty in the carrier and the carrier wrapped in a coat for warmth, we headed into town.
It was verified that the kitty was female so her name is officially Katrina. She got all her shots and was implanted with an ID chip. A surprise was that she had already been spayed. This indicated that her previous owners were taking good care of her. I feel bad thinking that they must be worried about her. She didn’t have an ID chip and I’ve had no luck finding where she came from so I guess I’ll just have to be happy that she chose to adopt me and is now safe and warm.
