Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats, but when I heard of this poor baby kitten's fate of possibly being stuck in a paper bag and left on the side of the road, I decided to suck it up and drive on.

At first, my sister and I were going to foster the cat and bring it to a no-kill shelter the next day, but as soon as we saw her we knew she couldn't be given away. Plus, my nephews loved her instantly! My sister decided that this cat would be an early present for my older nephew who is turning 5 this year. He gave her the last name Noche-night in Spanish. So Cami Noche is her name.

Even though she is scared of my nephews right as they always try to be around her and she is still very little, she is very loving and playful...almost too playful at times!

We named her Cami because she is black with brown and beige, and her pattern is almost like the old Army uniform I used to wear before being issued the new digital Camouflage uniforms. If she were a boy she would have been named Camo!

Even though she is not MY cat, she is a joy to have around. And she loves me of course, purring loudly as soon as I hold her. The picture is of her sleeping on my lap. That was the ONLY time I could get an image of her being still. She is so hyper!

I hope that I can get over my allergy to cats and have one of my own when I am no longer living with my sister. If I can, I will always rescue an animal. It is so rewarding.
