This is Pumpkin, the newest member of our family. He is a stray kitty that was living under an empty trailer that is on a lot behind our house. One evening I was outside calling Russell and I heard this pitiful crying. I followed the sound to the back yard fence and saw him sitting at the edge of that trailer. At first I thought he was tied somehow or something but then he came to me when I called. I threw some cat food over the fence and he quickly gobbled it up. The next evening, he was still there, crying again and starving. A couple of days later when he was still there, I decided to reach over the fence and pull him over to our side since he wouldn't jump over. When I pulled him over, he didn't scratch me and he ran under our house. Later on that night I coaxed him out and fed him and realized he was declawed. I figured he or she was probably altered as well. I fed him when I could coax him out from under our house, but when Russell started beating him up a few days later, I decided a decision had to be made. He was so sweet and reminded me a lot of Boogie Bear and Tygie, so I decided to adopt him. We took him to the vet and had tests done to be sure he didn't have anything that he could pass on to Isis. We also had the absess on his leg drained and they gave him antibiotics for that. When his tests came back negative on aids, leukemia and FIP, we got him a full round of shots and now he is slowly being introduced to the little black princess. So far Isis doesn't see much benefit in having a little brother. hehe We found out from the vet that Pumpkin is approximately 5 to 6 years old, a male and he has been neutered and declawed. He currently weighs 8.8lbs which is an improvement over the 6lbs that he weighed when he first came up. He has been an inside kitty for one week as of June 12,2004 and the vet says he will probably gain a pound a month for a bit. He is a very big boy and should weigh around 12lbs. Right now he is trying to make up for lost time though and eats like a little pig. We are giving him vitamins and good quality can and dry food. As you can see from the picture, he is a happy boy. Well, that is the story of Pumpkin so far. He & Isis are not living together at the moment but are gradually being introduced. Wish us luck! More updates will follow...

Pumpkin on June 12,2004. He has had a bath and had Frontline put on him earlier in the day.

This is Pumpkin when he first came to us.
