Angie's Gotcha Day!

Today, December 4, is Angie's Gotcha day. One night last year I had a dream about a furry white cat. After that I couldn't get it out of my mind to adopt a cat. I started the process by looking on line and was subconciously looking for her. It was like an obsession with me to find a cat. My fiance and I went to the Meriden Humane Society which is a town over from us. Then we found Beau first. I thought he was the one even though he wasn't furry. Then I still had this burning obsession to go find another cat. Online I went again searching through tons of photos of cats. I ended up going back again to the shelter myself this time in December. I remember standing in the middle of the cat room with about a hundred cats around me. I kept looking around and then I felt paws on my leg. I looked down and there she was. She was stretching her arms up to me crying to be picked up. I reached down to pick her up and she clung to me for dear life. She kept schooching up on me till she was practically wrapped around my neck. I new then that she was the one I had been looking for.

Angelica is the most precious girl and she is such a little lady. She has the softest fur you could ever imagine and it unbelievably never gets tangled. I can't imagine how she ended up at the shelter in the first place. Maybe whoever had her had passed away because she is such a well behaved beautiful girl. We both needed each other to love and I thank God that she came into our lives and really believe that an Angel sent me to find her. Happy Gotcha Day beautiful Angie!

We've left a variety of Temptations out as a treat for the day for efurryone to snack on. So come on by and help yourself.

  3. Sometimes you just hafta go back and get a girl. Mommy had Riley all picked out, but saw that he kept playing with one other kitten in particular (a girl), so she begged Daddy to let her get the other little kitten too. He said okay as long as he could name me Tiki. So now I'm Daddy's little Tiki-Bird. Aren't little girls sweet? Happy Gotcha Day, Angie!

    This is exactly my experience with my little Heather. She, too, clung to my neck and didn't let go. The Humane Society lady said, "Looks like you've been picked!" I was holding another kitty at the time, but it was clear to me too - I was wanted, and how - by someone! She was my little companion for 17 years. I wish you and Angie many happy years together.
