Live from The IBKC FUNdraising Headquarters - The Return of the 150th Kitten


Hello, Friends!  Remember last year when that handsome orange kitten presented the tiny check for the giant amount to the Humane Society?  

Well, that was me!  Charles Laurent Gibson, the 150the IBKC kitten!

I am back to take a shift on the phones because I wanted to support the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County -the shelter that means so much to me.  They gave me a chance.  They gave me my start in life.  Without them, I never would of found my awesome parents and my brother.

Now, if you could please give me a moment to get familiar with the new set,  I'll be ready to take on the phones shortly.

Hello there.    I would like to have a pizza delivered. 

Extra large, thick crust, cheese and double anchovies. Yes, you heard me right, DOUBLE anchovies.

This is much easier than I remember it being.

OH, dear.  I think you might be a little rusty, Charles. I mean Finne. Perhaps we should do a little re-training session before we set you loose on the phones again.




While he gets up to speed, please please pay a visit to our FUNdraising page and show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to this wonderful place that helped all of our IBKs get an awesome start in life.

Thank you!

Please stay tuned - we'll be back shortly with more pics of this handsome boy!

  4. Oh my! He certainly is a fabulously handsome boy! As a recent fat of IBKC I would love to see a picture of him when he was little. This is such a lovely way to start the day with a smile and a laugh! Thank you so much for everything you do :)

  5. Charles/Finne!!!! How VERY nice to see you again!! :D :D

    So I'll bet you are who your foster mommy Laurie went to visit the other day, and it was your pretty orange nose in the picture. (I confess I couldn't guess.)

    You are EXCEEDINGLY handsome and delightful. Tell your parents thank you for sharing you with us again! And a big "hi" to your brother Viggo!

    (The world might run out of exclamation points, capital letters, and smilies today.)

  10. Oh my, Finne/Charles has certainly grown up to be a big, gorgeous boy! Obviously quite silly, too. :) Don't eat too much of that pizza, though, Finne, a boy as handsome as you needs to watch his waistline!

  15. Beth,

    Scroll down in the middle column, to where it says, "You Can Search By Labels." Those are the names of every single Itty Bitty Kitty, used as tags - click on a name, and it will bring up all their posts with their baby pictures.

    You can also search by the last name of a litter, by scrolling to the entries beginning with "The..." For example, Charles/Finne's litter is under "The Gibson Kittens." Those posts often contain group photos of the litters.

  17. Hello, Charles-Finne! Aren't you a handsome man?

  18. Be still my beating heart! I have a weakness for ginger cats, and Finne is absolutely gorgeous! It's lovely to see him again.

  19. Handsome Finne, w/ his sweet pink nose and darling white-tipped toes, as if he's been dabbling in the whipped cream bowl... so kind of you to come and help on the phones!

  20. Thank you All for your very sweet words! We are GREAT-ful every day to Laurie, IBKC, and the Humane Society for our silly, charming, rambunctious fellow. Leave it to the picky eater to knock the set around and order pizza. Don't leave him alone with your kittens - he'll corrupt them fur sure. Yes, he majored in floof (and minored in bug-chasing) and if any brave souls knit with cat fur, let us know and we'll send you some. He has an abundance to share. He and Viggo said to send big mwahs, chirps and virtual jazz-paws to everyone. Thank you, Laurie, for coming to see us!
