My boyfriend and I had been talking about adopting at cat when we buy a house sometime within the next year. Last Friday we were in Petsmart buying some stuff for our dogs (2 dachshunds and a terrier foster) and saw Stan through the glass, we didn't bother to go in but both commented on him and then bought our stuff and left. The next day we went back to return some of the things that we had bought but didn't need, we went to the adoption area and actually went in and played with Stanley for a bit and decided that maybe on Thursday after Scraps (our foster dog) left we'd go get him. On Monday we had to go in for something else (good thing we live so close to Petsmart, lol), again went in and played with Stan for a bit. We saw that he was 8 years old then, read his little profile thing and decided that we could bring him home now instead of him having to spend more time in the cage.
The girls at Petsmart were so happy that he was being adopted, apparently he had been there for quite some time. Our ACC is a high kill shelter so I'm not sure how he slipped through being euthanized for as long as he did, especially with the overflow of cats there, but he did.
My boyfriend of course didn't listen to me and let the dogs out with him immediately, everything was fine except for a few swats from Stan. Now, two days later, everything is settling in and everyone tolerates each other. Stan will let the dogs lay with him but won't play, lol. He's very vocal and will "talk" with us, if we go up to him and go "mow" he'll do it back.
I'll try to get some pictures to post soon!
