Project Vader



We have a new addition to our family. It was not planned by any means, but we have decided to take on the challenge of raising a baby kitten. Now, when I say baby, I mean BABY! The vet estimated the kitty to be only 7 days old. He was abandoned by his mom yesterday at Tony's moms house. There were four kitty's yesterday morning in their yard and the mother came back slowly for them but never returned for the 4th. She may have come back late last night but the poor thing never would have made it in the cold. So...we are starting from square one with this little guy. I took him to the vet and everything looks great. He just needs to be kept warm and fed every few hours. It is liking having a baby all over again. We originally were just going to take it for the night to keep him warm but as expected, the boys are TOTALLY attached. We will see how things go from here, but for now it looks like he is here to stay.

Oh, one more thing. The name comes from Darth Vader (the boys love Star Wars) so with the help of some of you we have settled on Vader. I think it is rather fitting. Enjoy the pictures..they are the best I could get.
