newborn and then a dog bit her front and rear legs. She came to me at 2
weeks with a severe URI and abscesses from the dog bites. She has
permanently damaged elbow and stifle joints from these injuries. She's
a beautiful torti point with a hand raised cat temperament (can be very
grumpy!) "George" neutered male sealpoint long hair mix born 6/03. He
was rescued from the storm sewers in my neighborhood. Somehow, he fell
in & the local fire department cam and pulled him out! He was only
8 weeks old. My dog fell in love with him instantly, so I knew I had to
keep him! He is such a little Romeo and loves to be cuddled. George
definitely has a Ragdoll personality. He's a very unique and wonderful
cat!
