So, we were on the lookout for a new addition to the family. I came across a cutie on petfinder, emailed about him, and found out he was at a cat sanctuary.
My fiance and I went up there last night to see "Alex," in this cute little "cat house" cageless facility! We spent two hours there, playing with the cats and getting to know all of them (there were about 70 total, spread over the seven acres and numerous buildings!). Well, we realized that Alex wasn't exactly what we were looking for, and we picked out a beautiful kitty named Vera.
Then I mentioned fostering, and boy did the sanctuary's owner light up! She has a kitten, about seven months old, who's extremely shy around people. He's a gorgeous little black and white boy, but ever so shy.
So what did we do? Well, of course, we took Vera. Then we offered to take Brady (the kitten), then we fell head over heals for Vera's son Spunky.
We went to the sanctuary in search of one cat, and came home with two new additions and a cute little foster!
I'm so excited, I've wanted to foster for so long, and now I'm able to! I really hope we can get Brady out of his shell, he's such a great cat.
I think we're going to be working very closely with this sanctuary for quite some time, I'm beyond happy, I can't wait to get home and play with everyone!!!
I will upload pictures soon, I promise!
Ok, I got around to getting the pictures up. I want to tell you that Spunky had massive eye infections when he was a kitten, so his eyes will drain for the rest of his life and will never have perfect eyes. However, he is the sweetest kitten I've ever met, I can't believe I was so lucky to find him!
Here's Spunky:
