See that pretty little kitty up there? She is now ours. Although we are still heartbroken over Bonnie and miss her terribly, we decided to open our home to another cat that really needed one.
This is Pearl and she is 4 years old. (Mugshot courtesy of the shelter) Pearl’s owner surrendered her to the local animal shelter because the owner was elderly and had to go live in an assisted living home and she couldn’t take Pearl with her. This lady had raised Pearl from a kitten and Pearl had already been spayed, declawed in the front, and was up to date on all of her shots.
I found Pearl online while visiting Petfinder.com and she sounded like a perfect addition to our home. Since bringing her home Tuesday afternoon she has been a complete joy to have around. She is shy, but very, very loving. She also purrs like nobody’s business.
And Clyde? Well, he is slow to warming up to Pearl. I know he still misses Bonnie and is probably confused. There have been a couple of hissing staredowns with Pearl, but he is slowly coming around and we hope they will come to be close kitty friends.
I know it seems too soon since Bonnie’s death to adopt another animal and most people we have told think we were nuts for doing it, but Pearl has brought some smiles and comfort into our lives and that’s enough for us.
Awww…I say good for you, and Pearl…now go put a tiara on her head and take her picture;)
So glad you found a new cat to love. I love to hear of shelter adoptions, they are always special. We just adopted a cat 2 weeks ago and he is the love of my 3 year old son's life. Petfinder is the best!
What a sweet cat! And glad she found a wonderful new home. Petfinder is fantastic.
Glad that Pearl has a loving home. Sounds like she needed you as much as you wanted her 🙂
Good for you! Pearl, or Purrl, sounds lovely.
