Tysh is enough of a kitten that her purrsonality, like her body, is still under construction. Check out her siblings Antoine, Feather, and Willow.

This litter of four-week-old bottle babies appeared on the doorstep of a local veterinary clinic in a plastic storage box with holes drilled in the sides. An accompanying envelope contained a note describing the care they had been receiving and a check to help cover the costs they would incur.

Tysh is adventurous and likes to explore.

Live, Let Live, & LearnIf you happen to find young kittens (or other baby animals) without their mom, please think things through before you act. Bottle babies have very special needs (food, temperature, excretory, etc.) and require expert care. It’s easy to shift into “helping mode.” But momcats do kittencare best!

Unless you are sure mom isn’t coming back, be prepared to quietly observe for awhile. Human intervention is not always what’s best for the animal! To paraphrase Antoine de Sainte-Éxupéryyou become responsible for those you rescue.

Tysh likesplaying with her friend, Khola ( who is a bit older, but also black); shoes; hats

She dislikes:
