New Family members


Look at these babies!  We have been without fur babies since we lost our two little dogs, Spencer and Roger earlier this year.  Really, we have sheltered at home mostly like everyone else and have great neighbors with whom we get some socialization, but missed the critters. As long as we have been married, we usually have given homes to some sort of animal, but when the humans moved out as offspring do, canine and feline animal continued to fill our hearts.  At last, we decided it was time to shelter with a cat.  The animal shelters are really low on critters but there are lots of rescues in this area.  At the shop where I meet with a few others gals for a couple of hours on Fridays, my mentor gave me names of a couple with which I could check. I called last week and left my number. A call was returned on Saturday morning and after speaking with a woman named Jo, we were invited to come that afternoon.  Intending to come home possibly with one cat, we were introduced to several adult cats and waited for some kittens to arrive from a foster home. Soooooo----above you see the male black kitten Bogey, and his sister, Birdie who are 4 months old.  We fell in love with them and they came home with us.  A bag and cans of food, dishes, and litter were also included and they have been chipped, neutered, and vaccinated.  Immediately they have made themselves at home and they have been socialized as lap kitties already.  Playing with each other, napping, eating and spending human time with us after just a few hours leads us to believe that this is a perfect match for all of us.
