Animal Shelter
"Hello, yes, we have found a grey tabby kitten, is anyone reporting her missing?"
Where did you find it?
"Under our back porch, a few days ago. We are just wondering if anyone is looking for her, we have her here."
What area of town? Okay, let me look...no, no report.
(What a pretty cat! Such a purr-gal, and those tabby tiger stripes so fine. I'm not in love.)
Vet:
"Yes, hello. We found a half-grown kitten, a grey tabby, is anyone looking for her?"
How old is she?
"About 6 months, I guess. She might be pregnant."
Oh, well, then some people won't really want to find her, you know what I mean?
"That is okay: if she is not missing, we will keep her."
Let me see: dog, dog, black male cat, nope.
"Alright, I'll give you my contact info and a description, they can call."
(Mom, can we name her yet? Is she ours now?)
Like a miniature Lynx, with black tufts of hair pointing her ears and classic natural tabby colours, she is also, apparently, the World's Most Relaxed cat. Hold her upside down and she stretches luxuriously; tease her tummy and she grasps your fingers with claw-in paws and proceeds to give you a good wash.
I'm not in love, oh no.
Not that we can name her yet, and claim her as our own BUT if we could and IF we did, what name?

We hear your cry for , but methinks the cat has made the decision and you are just along for the "ride". Who found who?
You might as well enjoy the process of naming her, 'cause the other decisions have already been made. ,LOL

PS.,
Ann's trick is: "see what I got for you?"

If you ever expect to let this cat our of the house, and will therefore find yourself standing at your door calling the name of the cat (to get her back in), consider how this will appear to your neighbors when you pick the name...

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

She sounds like 'Lucky' to me!!!
Remember, there's always room for another cat (even a cat harboring a passle of other potential cats in her tummy).
(at least that's what my 2 cats and 2 retired greyhounds keep telling me . . . always room for another one!)

All great suggestions!
She's still here.
Now that she has got more accustomed to us, she likes to lurk behind furniture then ATTACK by leaping three feet into the air -- claws still in! Which leads us to consider the name Kato, as in "Not now, Kato!"
But I LOVE the name Veranda, so musical: "Veranda! Dear Veeeeeeeraaaa!"
What joy to have a kitten again, a real Christmas gift to us all.
