Edwidge Dandicat and the Snuggle Bear

This tiny tiger was abandoned with her sister at the BARC Shelter in Williamsburg, Brooklyn when she was just a few weeks old. Her sister died, but Edwidge is thriving and loves this little bear from the 99 cents store! Orphan kittens often try to nurse on their beds or siblings, but Snuggle does the trick for little "Eddie." She will be up for adoption when she's older. UPDATE 2/13/07: Edwidge was adopted and has a little human boy companion now! BARC's blog: www.barcshelter.wordpress.com

mausmom, you are the FIRST person to mention her name, I misspelled it, but kind of liked the "dandy" sound and left it. Also liked that Ms Danticat is from Brooklyn where the kitten was found.
