I went back in the next day to visit GiGi, but not only was she already chosen for adoption, she was already home with her new family. No more visiting for me until I’m officially approved and can choose a cat on the spot.

I’ve finally submitted my application. Now wondering if maybe I should wait until after my trip to Spain before I adopt a cat. Don’t want to leave just as it’s getting used to me. The adoption approval (assuming I get approved) is good for 6 months.

Her name is Peri and I knew the second I saw her that she was meant to be my kitty. I picked her up and she nuzzled into me right away. Beautiful black and brown calico. And while I was holding her, one of the staff came into the room, gave me an apologetic look, and marked “adopted” on her chart. Sigh.

Another little girl caught my eye. Her name is GiGi. She’s 2 yrs old, but so small I thought she was still a kitten. She’s a cutie, but a bit timid. She seemed a little uncomfortable when I picked her up, but she still let me do it. Found out afterwards she had just been spayed 2 days before. No wonder she was uncomfortable.

Going to try and go back on my lunchbreak tomorrow to visit her again and also bring in my application form.

... I’ll be able to check this one off my list. Going camping and ziplining with some good friends this weekend, come hell or highwater. Or Hurricane Danny.
