Events of 24th September 2015

I hadn't thought too much about adopting another cat. It was too overwhelming.

When I got Leo I didn't realize it at the time but I was technically looking for a Rosco replacement.

Rosco was Missy's brother who was hit by a car and taken from us at only seven months old.

So when I was given the approval to purchase my own pet I had specifications.

I wanted a boy

I wanted a grey tabby

So it was massively narrowed down in what I was after.

I was lucky I met Leo at 10 weeks old and he just completely fit those specifications.

Now that Leo was gone I only knew what I didn't want.

I wanted to avoid grey tabby.

Eventually I came to some kind of mental agreement of what I'd be looking for.

I wanted a short haired cat

I would prefer a male

I wanted to know the kitten from a very young age so potentially adopt a foster kitten.

Well the gods above just laughed.

I knew the moment I saw her that she was something incredibly special.

I was taking photos of the cats up for adoption when she was brought in. I had to go and check it out.

The lady brought in a stray seal point Birman with no microchip. They had kept her for a week or so hoping an owner would turn up but they didn't and the cat wasn't getting along with their dogs.

Wide eyed and scared

She was a shy little thing but once you could get your hands on her it didn't take long for her to purr.

Leaning into my hand and purring

She was tiny. So there was thoughts that she wasn't extremely old but also the possibility that she was pregnant from being stray.

She was then known as Zoe and I was completely smitten.

Such a lil thing

So adorable <3

Within the following day where I'd visited her again and found her not eating and seeming stressed I convinced Leanne to let me foster her. Well foster and trial.

Pretty much from the moment Leanne approved of it the little kitty was sold. I had my concerns about whether she would adapt or continually be very shy...
