Dumpy the Dumpster Kitty

A few days ago a lady came into Lys' work with this little guy in her arms.


He was meowing loudly behind a dumpster in the parking lot all alone. Now some of you who know Alyssa might jump to the conclusion that it was her idea that this little guy needed a mother and that it was written in the stars to be her. But the truth is the little guy, who's name is not really dumpy, actually wanted a daddy and he choose me from the smell that was on Alyssa's clothes. So Warrens, we want you to know that this is in no way Alyssa's fault that we now have another kitty that we are not allowed to have. (For those of you not in the loop, Lys already had to pawn off one kitty to her mother because we're not allowed to have animals) 
Our best guess is that he is 4 weeks old, and the 'he' is our best guess too. But just to be safe we aren't going to name him until we are sure. He was very malnurished when we found him, and is apparently hungry still because he is bitting my toes right now. Our big breakthroughs with our kitty saving project have been: He ate, He pooped, He pooped in the litter box, He drank, and now is playful and happy. Still working on getting number one in the box. But because I'm worried about him having gender role confusion, Alyssa deals with that part mostly. Okay that's the important stuff, here's the pictures:

    So adorable! I'm sad he doesn't have a name tho...Just pick something gender neutral! (Which can be basically anything... =) )

    You know I'm not a cat person, but that kitty is precious!! Good for you for rescuing him, and even cooler that you are breaking the rules to do it :-)

    He's actually all black except for a few whispy grey hairs on his chest, front legs and by his ears. Black kitties are the best
