Im back in the life, [View all]

Last edited Thu Apr 18, 2024, 07:45 AM - Edit history (1)

It's has been a hard couple years since MrsK passed, and I made the choice about LilBit( my challenged daughter) to go into state care.
About a month ago, my neighbor was here and said, " you need a dog or a cat," Seed planted.
Well I knew, a dog was out of the question, but I also love the kitties. So I made a few calls, found a remote cat place,( we have always adopted, other than LilBit's service dog). The admin spoke to me, listened to MY situation, and then asked me to call back in a few days.
This went on, until, last Thursday when the admin called me and said," can you come meet Gladys? She is 6 years old, quiet, but a bit, assertive. I said, ok."
Long story shorter,
Gladys is on my lap, as I type this, she has explored, ate, jumped on my lap, got my first kitty kiss
Only been 6 hours.
I thanks the admin, who listened,
Say hello to "LilGlad"


Edit, to add

This woman who runs the shelter, didn't charge me.
Not only, did she help LilGlad, she helped a Veteran. I left a donation. If you would like to thank her, just message me.
This woman is doing a big job, In a very small town.
