It's with me of course!
I just can't let her go again or put her through any more trauma. You guys are the first to get the official news, because technically I still need to let my coworker come and see her, but she doesn't have her heart set on Claire, just another cat. So, I'll introduce her to our kittens in foster care and she's bound to fall in love.

Obviously, there are some things to work out, especially taking the introductions slowly. I know it will be hardest on Gracie, but I'll just have to give my little bug a lot of extra attention.

I can't thank all of you enough for your support during the ongoing saga with Claire. I couldn't have made it through without you.


Pictures of my new addition coming soon!

Good for Claire. She certainly persuaded you, right. Have fun with her and we hope all goes well.

I'm so glad Claire has you in her life. She's a very lucky kitty. It's so sad that she lost her dad but maybe God sent her to him to make his last days happy and full of love. I wish there were more people like you.

Remember when you had to make a list of reasons why Jessie couldn't stay with you, why she needed another home? Well, I think we now know the reason why although no one knew it then. There was another kitty in your future who would need you more than Jessie.


Congratulations on bringing a new permanent family member into your home. Claire will no doubt have a wonderful life in your family.

You guys made me cry (again!). You're absolutely right, though. I believe everything happens for a reason. I've been feeling a little guilty that I didn't just keep Claire to begin with, but there was also a reason for that. She and her dad needed each other, even if it was just for a short time.

Congratulations to you and Claire! I had a feeling yesterday that I was going to be reading this news today. And, this means a home for at least one other shelter kitty.

It's good news all around. I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this, but was too excited!

Claire is such a lucky kitty, and I'm sure you'll handle the introductions magnificently.

Oh what excellent news!
I'm so pleased that you are able to give her the loving home that she deserves and feels safe in!

I hope the introductions go well and Gracie accepts her new sister!
