I fell in love with "Jinx" a 1-2 year old blue tabby. They said he is an oriental shorthair but I don't know. His listing stated he was "very urgent". I sent an email and got a response that he had been in the county shelter since June and his "time" had been extended once already for a family that never came for him.They also said he was next in line to go "to the back" if they got even one more cat in.
I went today and met him. He's a total love bug I don't understand why he was there so long! I adopted him on the spot. Good thing too, because while I was waiting for him to get his shots and tests a woman came in to drop off her cat...
Now he's at home settling in the spare bedroom. We had to clip his claws and apply soft paws but now we are leaving him to settle. Its been a long day for him!
(I'll post pictures later.)
