I did it..I took the plunge...

Look who I rescued from the humane society..
Please welcome
...

"Cynder"






She is 4 years old, spayed, and up to date on shots..given up by her owner due to illness.

She is sooo big..a big love bug...


I cannot tell if it is fat or fur..I feel TONS of fur..she is heavy, but it does not feel like fat..when you run your hands through her you feel so much FUR..

We will see what he vet says next week...

so now it is the wait for her to get used to us and hang out in her bathroom until we can slowly intro the babies..

She is beautiful, I love black cats. Thank you for adopting an adult cat. So many people are looking for kittens and the adults never get a second look or even a first look.

Congratulations!

When I get older and I can adopt cats of my own, I think I'll go for adult cats. I always picture myself asking for the cat who has been there the longest. I'd give that one a home.

Hit reply to fast there..Denice...I know so many adults were there today...so sad..

Oh Natalie
I knew you would find me...LOL..I felt kinda guilty bringing home a big black kitty..like I was messing up my color scheme or something of my fur babies...LOL...but she is solid black and such a flluff and lovey; plus Pumpkin needs a fluff to fluff around with her..the boys are so crazy...she just looks at them like "will you two please stop..."

She is beautiful


My cat looks big but it's like, 80% fur. She's actually pretty tiny once you get under all of it (well, she still weighs 9 lbs but....there's just so much hair!)

yep just brought her home from the vet and that is what she weighs in at 9lbs!
He said she is healthy and not over weight, just a big girl and fluff-i-fied!!!

Cynder is beautiful! You know Peaches looks really fat but she's not. She's just got so much fur. I have a feeling Cynder is the same. She probably has that thick undercoat like my kitties.

You know you are right..when I gave her a bath tonight, I could see the sleek cat under all the fur with her hair wet and slicked back...but now she is back to a big fluff..LOL. it is so cool...

She's beautiful! I have a HUGE soft spot for black cats. And you did such a good deed, taking home an adult black cat! They are the hardest to place. People and their silly superstitions!
