After much consideration following the loss of my 17.5 year old cat to cancer, I decided to add a new member to our family. I went to the humane society today and met with a few very sweet kitties. The first one was so terrified of everything even after I'd sat with him for almost an hour that I knew it wouldn't be fair to bring him to a house with dogs. The second kitty I sat with broke out of her shell a little quicker, but I just didn't feel a click with her. While I was playing with these little darlings, there was a shelter volunteer in the next room with a couple of other kitties. I watched them play and fell in love, but they had already been adopted. As I gave the little girl kitty back and was ready to leave, I commented on how cute the other two were but it was a shame they were already adopted.
Well apparently while I was there visiting, the person that was going to pick up the other kitties found out that the shelter made a mistake regarding their gender. They were two male kitties instead of females like these people wanted. The boys had both been neutered, chipped, vaccinated, and were ready to be picked up, but the adopter said forget it, they wanted girls.
Well their loss was my gain. I took them out, and while I was only able to adopt one, I fell head over heels for this little guy. I instantly clicked with him, and had no doubt he was the one for me. I felt bad not being able to take his friend home as well, but was happy to be able to pull one out of a shelter and in to a loving home.
His shelter name is Ambrosia, which is probably why the other people thought he was a girl. So here he is, all name suggestions welcome
