Animal Rescue at the Farm Market

Well, I have a new addition to my family. I went to the market today to sell, but ended up bringing home a kitten.

About half way through the market, we noticed a little kitten wandering around under the cars. It was obviously frightened and lost. We were afraid it would get hit by a passing vehicle, but we couldn't get a hold of it. Eventually we lost sight of it, but could still hear it crying. We ended up finding that it had crawled into the metal work under one of the trucks. We offered it some meat and cheese samples and it finally decided to come out for those and we were able to grab it.

As I already have four cats (all strays), another vendor offered to take it at first (she named it Meatball, since it was chowing down on the raw meat samples). But then she realized her parents might not be happy if she brought it home, so yup, I ended up with it. It was either that or leave it to wander feral and probably get hit by a car in the parking lot, and I couldn't let that happen, so I brought it home. Yes, my family and I are total suckers when it comes to taking in animals. If there's an animal that needs a home, we usually end up with it. Pretty much all our animals have been strays or from a situation where someone had to give up the animal.

So here is the new (and absolutely adorable) addition to the family:
