this is Gracie

Long story, I'll make it short: her owners were arrested, and she was running free. Someone called the dog catcher but they hadn't been able to get her. I went to visit Mom (Gracie's owners lived next door) and saw her. She was skittish, and I think she needed food. We fed her, and then I took her home, called the owner of the house (Gracie's owners were renters, but they're being booted out, assuming they get out of jail) and told him what I'd done. We'll see what happens next. It could be complicated or not, I guess it depends on several things.

I have too many cats for this. She's young and energetic, but my girls are taking good care of her. They gave her a bath, bought her some toys, and we put some flea medicine on her. She's very happy here, as a lovely, lively, sweet little dog deserves to be. Does anyone have guesses as to what breed, or mixture she might have in her? I have no idea. She can jump very high, that I do know;)

duluthgirl suggested border collie as well, but there's a photo of a Finnish Lapphund on wikipedia that makes me think she might have some of that mixed in. I love that you have a rescue kitten - was just telling lolabobs that people like us have to try and help makeup for people who don't cause their pets to suffer. Gracie has had some encounters with my cats, but I have faith she'll get used to them (the other way around will be the trouble;)

I wish there were more of us. It breaks my heart to know how so many animals are treated and I wish I could adopt more. My new kitten was dumped at my niece's house when he was about three weeks old--starving, goopy eyes, mites and fleas... I'm sure you can imagine.

Your cats will be cranky about Gracie for a while, but once her scent is everywhere and she's just part of their day to day lives I bet you'll be fine.
