Oh I plan on it. Hopefully Cincinnati will get more in so it's only an hour and a half drive, otherwise it'll have to be Indianapolis which makes it a 2 and a half hour drive

So...
my family's casual staycation to the beach/waterpark made me realize that I may be gayer than I previously thought

Here are the pictures from the ad (I will have better pictures tomorrow): OH MY GOD A BABY The current owners have only had her 3 days, but their dogs hate the cat and they have to give her away for her own safety. The guy was a talker on the phone, but seems thrilled that she's going to someone in KY, since that's where he's from and he "hates Ohio". I hope it's not a scam.

pumpkin pie mintedstar/fur🦇 Thanks! Leapkit I knew you might find that part amusing. This guy went on and on about how he hated city people and hated Ohio in general and how he wants to move out to a farm back in KY, but his fiance won't let him because she "has to be near a Walmart". I found it so amusing because it sounded just like how I felt when I first left NC to move out here, only I don't hate it here, I just prefer NC. As a night shift worker, I do appreciate city life a little better though.

I sometimes look on Petfinder and Craigslist to see what kittens there are, not seriously looking, but open to the right cat if it comes up. 3 days ago, on my birthday, we were in PetSmart, and there was this kitten that looked just like the one I had that ran away so many years ago. After we walked down to the bookstore, I went back to PetSmart to seriously inquire about him, but there were too many hoops to jump through with that particular cat, so I took it as not meant to be. When I was at my mom's last month, I told her that I was open to the idea of another cat, but not seriously looking, though if someone offered me a free Bengal, I'd take it. Enter this cat, from Craigslist, who's half Bengal and free. Cincinnati is only about an hour and a half away, so after taking into account morning traffic and the construction going on up there, it'll only take me about 2 hours to get to the house where the kitten is. I leave in an hour.

This poor kitten...
When I got to the house, the lady came out to the porch and just handed her to me. I talked about her dogs for a few minutes, and asked her if she had anything with the kitten's scent on it I could have for comfort. She gave me some food bowls, a litter box, some food, and a pet bed. The pet bed reeks of urine, so I can't even give her that tonight. After introducing her to my husband, I bathed her in my bathroom sink before introducing her (briefly) to the other cats on the porch. It looked like the shower scene from Psycho with all the blood washing off this poor thing down the drain. She had a flea collar on, but had the worst case of fleas I think I've ever seen on a cat. She's skin and bones. I gave her some soft kitten food, and she ate maybe a fourth of a can, but now she shivers like crazy unless I'm holding her. She instantly took to my husband as well, following him around the room. I had to call several vet's offices just to get her an appointment soon (I lucked out and got Friday, where as several told me it wouldn't be until August). I'm keeping her separate from my others until then just in case she does have something contagious, but considering how traumatized/clingy she's being, I'm probably going to have to take her in my room for the night, which is going to really upset the rest of my brood. I just don't understand how this kitten can be so bad off, when the owners told me they'd only had her 4 days, and that they paid $300 for her. I only hope I'm not too late to give this kitten the full, healthy life she deserves.

Oh my god, that poor baby.... You probably just saved it's life. I'd report the condition of the cat and report them for animal abuse, theres no way a thing like that should have ever gotten that bad and gone untreated for that long and I worry about what kind of condition those dogs are in. That's so horrible.

The dogs looked fine, one was still obviously nursing, but they acted like normal little dogs do barking and running around and trying to jump on me.
Trying to keep her separate failed spectacularly. I have no idea how the other cats got my door open, but they did, and I woke up to Torino meowing in my ear. There was no fighting with the kitten while I was sleeping, so that was good - she figured out sometime while I was asleep that I was on the bed and how to get to me (I had made her a little nook under my nightstand with Midnite's old bed and a towel as a blanket before), so my last few hours were spent with her sleeping on me in some way shape or form. She does look much better tonight than she did yesterday morning though. I intended to shut her in my room while I was at work, but she just crawled under the door crack, so I had to duct tape the bottom of the door just to keep her separate tonight. I'll let them socialize more tomorrow, but under my supervision.
I have to message the guy who put up the original post tomorrow - I never met him since he was out of town, but his fiance didn't know the answers to my questions (what exactly is the kitten's birthday, which parent was the Bengal, and which was the Maine Coon, etc.)
