Today is a pretty special day for me so I thought I'd celebrate it here! :p

After some thought, research and preparation, I'm finally prepared enough to adopt my very first cat. Today I put in an application at the local shelter for a 10 month old female Manx and I'll be picking her up before Monday. I'm still cat-ifying the house but..I'm like, 95% ready ( while my parents are kinda apprehensive in an amusing way, haha...? )

Previously, I've owned guinea pigs and ferret. I was blessed to have experienced so many beautiful memories with them.

Little side intro on me: My major preoccupations involve music, drawing, beginners coding, fandom stuff, reading and watching movies so I'm usually multitasking between all of those activities. Aside from that, I enjoy my work, country life and spending time with my family.

It's been a long time since I've posted on a forum but I thought this would be a good one to try since it's pretty active. I'd love to learn something new, share about my kitty adventures and chat. I think that everyone we come in contact with teaches us something. Everyone has their value, their place in our lives, whether it be a temporary or a permanent one.
Yup, that's all I wanted to say for now.

Btw, you can call me Snail because that's what my username means.

I'm stuck between the name Star or Pumpkin. She's both calico and tortoise shell colored/patterned (I hope that makes sense) and she has green eyes. I'll be posting pictures soon.

If you go with Star, you could always expand on that with something like Nebula
