May 19 Update: We took a nice 5 yr old to visit Rosie - a test child. Surprisingly Rosie was fine with her and wanted attention from her just as much as from an adult. Size didn't matter. Rosie is doing very well. She came in a bit of a nervous wreck but she has smoothed out and her confidence has grown. She is, of course, as cute as can be. She loves attention and has turned into an absolute delight. She will do anything for a Temptation treat.

This is one lovely girl. Happy, playful, affectionate. Deep saturated red silky hair with a little white on her toes and bib. Copper headlight eyes.

She does everything right. Her roommate had a human visitor and she, who had been lazily lounging in her window basket for a week, suddenly got up and said very effectively, "HEY, I'LL PLAY, LET ME HAVE THAT FEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And there she was, a
ball of fire and personality. Her first quiet week of gaining her strength and settling in was clearly over. Her red haired
personality took over. She loves to play feather. As much as she loves attention.

She is still thin but is gaining quickly. She was badly matted and needed a lion cut but when her coat comes back in it will be a deep red - not the color that shows now which is the undercoat color. She is Antioch cat 53 and her before photo shows her great color.

She is a treasure as are all of these wonderful Antioch kitties. She eats wet and dry and is litterbox perfect.

She is fostered in Santa Cruz.
