I don't think so, the person who gave her up said a "stray" cat had kittens
in their closet (yeah riiiiight).

Here's the story...

DH and I had been shopping at Walmart and as we were leaving we saw a lady
putting a dish of water into a huge cardboard box.  Naturally we had to go
investigate.  Inside was a male kitten, orange stripey, about 8 or 10 weeks
old, covered in fleas and dehydrated from the 90+ degree weather.  Someone
had almost run him over in Walmart's parking lot and brought him in to the
"greeter" there.

We had three females in residence and our experience with adding a male,
Percy, was not very good (there was constant fighting and upset before he
went to the RB), so we didn't feel we could keep him.  However, we have a
real good relationship with the ladies who run "SunSmart" the pet rescue
operation run out of PetSmart (where we adopted Percy).  They don't normally
take in strays, but since they knew us (and since we donate cash almost
weekly) they agreed to take him.

While we were there a mother and daughter brought in Sammy and her brother
and sister (telling their tall tale about the "stray" in their closet), but
SunSmart refused to take the kittens (they did, however, offer to help with
getting low-cost neutering of the mom, cat which the idiots refused).  At
the same time another man brought in four 2 WEEK OLD KITTENS!!!  They were
refused also (and all of them were very put out that they DID take the
little orange stripey we brought in).

They were told to take the kittens to the local SPCA but the daughter (teen)
was all distraught about the possibility of the kittens being PTS (DUH -
what did you think would happen during kitten season when you allow your cat
to breed but don't want to be bothered with raising kittens!!??).

I told them that the kittens, being cute and healthy, would probably not be
PTS, they would probably be adopted, BUT some other cat would have to be PTS
to make room for the kittens.  Like idiots, this seemed to make them feel
better about bringing them to the SPCA so they went away happy.  Before they
left, though, I made the "mistake" of petting Sammy and she licked me with
her little sand-paper tongue.  The rest is history.

Wow, that is a big boy - do you have pictures?
