Each Monday, I join with several fellow bloggers to host a photo challenge. We take turns choosing the photo we like best. I get to choose this week, when the challenge is "ANIMAL". I promise not to choose my own, but I do want to tell you about the animal I'm featuring in my own shots this week.
We had to put our 12-year-old cat to sleep a few weeks ago. Our 5-year-old cat missed his companion, and so I called a local vet and asked if they knew of a kitten - not "too young" - who was litter trained and who would adapt to a home with another established cat. They happened to have a 5-month-old kitten there who'd been born to a "semi-feral" mother, then brought to the vets in hopes of finding a home. For 4 months, he'd been in a cage awaiting an "adoptive family".
Long story short, he's now ours. Turns out he's a real sweetie. So without further ado, meet Louie! And then please share your ANIMAL shots!

new kitty is adorable, and weren't you smart to pinpoint your requirements to the vet.....so many people just adopt a pet without research, and all too often, it doesn't work out....congrats on your new baby
ReplyDeleteLouie reminds me of our first cat, Moe. We got him from a shelter when he was already 8 years old and we loved him dearly. We had 7 good years with him--he lived to be 15.
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute. It is awesome that you adopted a cat from a shelter. There are so many animals in need of a good home. He looks happy.
ReplyDeleteLouie is so handsome! He looks a lot like my best-ever cat, the late great Herman, who died early in the year 2000, and is still missed by all who knew him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Karen and Gerard: Adopting a cat from a shelter is such a wonderful thing to do.
If we didn't travel so much, I'd like to adopt an adult cat who is used to dogs, as a companion for our Golden girl, Lindy. But it's hard to get a sitter for two animals!
