So...I *somehow* ended up at the local Petsmart today. (Can't IMAGINE how that happened!
) I looked at the kittens up for adoption and I was absolutely STUNNED by a gorgeous russian blue mix kitty.
He was breathtaking, and I would guess probably purebred (though listed as a mix because no papers exist). Hopes high, I went in to interact with him. After 30 minutes or so of patiently trying to coax him into interaction, I reluctantly gave up.
He is TERRIFIED of people. I am still a little sad... it was hard to leave him there. But everyone who walked by talked about how gorgeous he was so I am hoping that someone with more experience than me with special needs kitties will be able to adopt him, bring him out of his shell, and enjoy him as a wonderful companion. Alas...the search goes on...
