A Growing Jedi

Relaxing on the patio wall

We took Yoda to the vet last Friday for a checkup.  She weighed in at 14 ounces - large enough to be wormed but not quite big enough for any shots yet.  This is not my usual vet.  My "normal" vet is much closer to my home but he was the doctor that the family who owned the momma cat goes to and he ended up with the kittens.  Which were being fostered when we got Yoda.

The vet and staff absolutely adore Yoda - kisses and whispered sweet nothings were in abundance.  And the doctor refuses to accept any payment whatsoever for the medical care.  He says that most people wouldn't have taken on such a small and needy kitten.  He stated that she is lucky to be alive and to have us caring for her.  Of course, we feel we are the blessed ones and I told him I was more than willing to pay for her care. He flatly refused.

As you can imagine, I will be taking all my pets to him from this day forward as well as referring all my friends and family who have pets to him from now on.
