Chester the little rescue
Written by ©Stéphanie (flickr: baloochester).
Chester was adopted when he was 4 weeks old as his owner could not afford to take care of him. He was neglected and was smaller than my hand. In the first 2 months he spent half of the time at the clinic as he was sick and needed treatment, but he was a real fighter and survived all the health problems.
Chester only weighed around 200 grams the day I took him to my home. He is very affectionate and slept on our necks or in our pajama for the first 2 months after he arrived.
He is very mischievous and playful. Everybody calls him a mummy’s boy since as soon as I am in the house, he jumps on my lap. He is so very cuddly, but above all he LOVEs food.
He really wants to get along and show affection towards our cat Baloo who is also a rescue, but Baloo seems to be resistant to his friendliness. However, I have managed to catch them cuddling together once in a while. Let’s hope they bond over time.

Little climber. This is when they discovered that Chester is a little mischief maker
Though Chester and his friend Baloo don't always get along
... there are times they just cuddle together 
Many many paws

I LOVED these pics!!!
Chester was adorable as a baby, and very handsome all grown up. Pics are adorable.
So cute! I like when the kitties are sleeping together!
How cute!!! I think my squees cracked my monitor!!!
How do you adopt and then neglect a kitty? I don't get it. He's so lucky to have you. Have a great life with your furbabies!
I'm poor myself but I have four kitties. Feeding them is more important than feeding myself. I can't afford to take them to the vet but they are indoor kitties so I can keep a watchful eye on them. I take them to clinics when I can. All four together meowing and crying at the same time. It is a sight! I clip claws, brush and yes…bathe the kitties when needed.
My newest kitty is Isabella. She appeared on my windowsill just before I moved and I am SO glad she did. She was skin and bones then but is a chubby girl now. I need to get her to the vet ASAP to get her fixed. I write about her and my kitties on my blog.
