Forest the kitten

'taking a walk in May 2007 - 'noticed a "treed kitten" (little meow coming from the top of a tree...)
'in attempting to "rescue" him he JUMPED out of the tree (and lived) (because he fell out of a tree his 'current' name is 'Forest')
the little guy ran into traffic on Kansas Ave (and didn't get run over)
and then climbed INTO a bus engine compartment (and wasn't chewed up by the fan/belt!)

'took him to the shelter on Finch Rd. because I wasn't in a position to give him a "forever" home.
I went back to the shelter and got him: I thought I would 'foster' him at my shop, got him fixed, and provided all the love, substinence, and shelter... until I could find him a 'forever' home...

He's VERY friendly, loving, purrs at a slight touch, is cute, and has personality
...I thought I had a 'permanent' "shop helper"...  then someone stole him Friday April 24th 2009.

I have a $200 REWARD for his safe return...

May 30th when Forest was 'incarcerated' at the 'shelter'...

Forest singing when I was playing my guitar (June 5th)...  at least HE was in key..    ;-)

GREAT smile - huh?  (NOW you can see how 'big' he is compared to the water bottle...)  (June 8th)

some other GREAT fotos of Forest:

This is what he looks like now:
