So the house has felt extremely empty without Buster always loafing around and making a nuisance of himself, and while still missing him deeply and that will never change, decided to start looking at what is out there for some company.
First off, have to say the local "big" adoption centers are appauling. RSPCA, Cats Protection, Blue Cross etc. I was open to adopting a middle age, elderly or cat with special requirements. They stuggle to be rehomed so actively looked to see if there were any cats in this bracket that I would give a forever home to. However I wasnt even able to see a single cat from these centers without being required to fill out a form, put a request through a website and then if they thought it was a match for the cats they would give me an appointment to see that cat.
Sorry but what? Thats not how it works with cats, it has to be a mutal 2 way thing, and how they take to you off the cuff without being "pre prepared" by being moved into a viewing room or similar is very important.
Found a couple of local independant rehoming services, the first was absolutely amazing, could walk around and interact with the cats and see how they behaved, their temperaments, and get information on how the cats were bought in, under what circumstances etc. However they only had one quite elderly cat whos owner died and he did not take to me at all.
Then on Sunday morning, these kittens popped up. While it never previously crossed my mind, thought it was worth considering. Arranged to go around and after an hour, agreed to these 2 brothers. The tabby and white one who when I sat down ran over and curled up in my lap and the grey/black one who spent the entire time playing and running around.
Names yet to be decided! So any suggestions welcome. Currently thinking "Doc" for the black and white one and "Leo" for the tabby and white. But any other suggestions welcomed, they are being picked up next weekend
Aww, can I have the void in the back of the first piccie?
