Sorry for the blurry shot. We spotted this sweet white calico wandering around in the courtyard of our building this afternoon; apparently she's been hanging out there for at least a day, if not more. She was clean and very social, and was wearing an obviously homemade beaded collar, but no ID tag. We fed her and then brought her down the the local shelter, where we discovered she was not microchipped. She's at the Peninsula SPCA for a 4-day stray hold, and we're hoping her owners will find her there.
Even if her family doesn't find her, I'm quite sure she'll get adpoted, because she's young, cute, and social. But her original family may never see her again, and some poor kid, who made this kitty's collar, is going to wonder where kitty went and never know for sure what happened to her.
PUT ID ON YOUR PETS DAMNIT PEOPLE!

Teh cute. Would your furry lords/ladies and masters/mistresses object to this one's presence if the little one doesn't get adopted?
Just in case.

Well, it would be a violation of our lease for one thing. For another, when she came into the house so we could put her into a pet carrier, Tommy went batsh*t insane, literally screaming at the box the little girl was in. The other two kitties were just fine.
Apparently Tommy had no problem when he was the odd cat out and the newcomer to the household. Now, however, anything older than 5 months is apprently a threat and must be attacked. Kittens he has no problem with.
I suppose he could learn to get used to her, but we have a firm rule now that we won't be taking in any more adults with an unknown history.
