You are welcome to my barn and take your pick... there are four
beautiful kittens there now, about three months old. I intend to
bring them to the vet but they aren't old enough yet so no point in me
trying to trap them, I will when they're six months. One is a
gorgeous champagne colored siamese angora mix. They scoot up into the
rafters when they hear me coming so all I get is quick peek.
