We got our cat chances when she was 2 days old her mother got crushed early in the morning of the second day after giving birth by the trash men. Her mom was a stray and our elderly friends heard babies crying and they found 2 kittens with unbilicord just getting dry. We went over and brought her home but when we went to go get her brother he had died from pnumonia. So we called her chances because it was chance we got her and a chance she might not live. She is 3 now.

We got a tiger one and named her Tissy. I don't know where I got the name, it just started coming out of my mouth.

My big dog is from a shelter, his name was already Blue, he has one blue eye and one brown eye. I didn't want to change his name because he already had it for a year, and I needed him to listen to me. But he doesn't very well. He is the most difficult dog and the dog I have loved the most.

Answer 7

I had the name picked out. Me and my fiancee were talking about possible names and found one that I loved, Draxxus (Drax for short). I got my puppy from posting a wanted ad on craigslist. A couple contacted me about a female dog they had adopted from a shelter was pregnant and they were looking for homes for the puppies. We talked for around 10 weeks and he sent pictures and I went to look at the pups when they were ready and brought Drax home. My friend also adopted a puppy and one for her boyfriends parents that wanted one. It saved them from being in a shelter and they have happy homes.

My first cat I got from a vet office. He was tossed into a dog cage before he was weaned and they said that he would hiss at everyone that had looked at him but when I came to see him he jumped in my arms and wrapped his paws around my neck and purred. He went home with me and he was my birthday gift from my mom. HIs name was Fritz but he didn't seem to answer so I started saying names and he came to Tiger so now it is Tiger Fritz.
My second cat was given to me by my brother. His roomates dog were attacking him and he was very upset, started peeing in the tub and hiding. His name is Sal and he gets along great with Tiger.

ive had numerous animals alot of my cats were adopted as there were goin to be put down my first was a tortis long hair she was a stray i called her heavensent as she was gorgious and looked like she was sent from heaven great personality. the next was apocalypse she was a smokey grey long hair real ***** of a cat she was named because my partner thought heavensent apocalypse was funny. plus she looked like death warmed up. the next was a black with white feet and chest she was originally 8ball cuz she slept in the balls in our pool table but we renamed her gambit cuz if you said 8 ball while playing she would jump on the table. gambit was because she liked it we were watching xmen. the next was a tonkanese that we named domino cuz of the spots adn she had a real surviver attitude like the movie domino. all these cats have been rehomed. my dog jackson was named after daniel jackson on stargate as he was always a smart *** of a dog and way to smart for his own good he was a white boxer cross bullmastiff he was very similar to the character he was named after. now i got a bird frankie after a character in my favorite movie and i chose frankie cuz im not sure if its a girl or boy. my mum called her bird buddy cuz i was teachin him to say whos my buddy out of encino man (pauly shaw) my cat obie was cuz she had slight marking of an o and a b on her back.

Answer 9

My son takes in strays,especially if they're pregnant. Then he takes care of the kittens until he can find good homes for them. He brought over one of the kittens for me after I had lost my cat to cancer. I named the new baby Muse. It's a play on words, which I love to do. All the kitten did for a week was mew mew mew-so he became Muse.
