Thank you for hanging in there for the final chapter. I severely underestimated how long 15 pages would take! Also thank you so much to everyone who shared and reblogged this along the way.

This is amazing!

Caetera fumus by Señor Salme

This is our newest and 4th cat. My husband and I had talked about getting a fourth cat for a while, since we have the time, space, money and needs to provide a home for one more, but I wasn’t sure. It’s a lot of stress and I haven’t been very well lately. However, life has a funny way of going “haha screw you, I’ll throw this sad little kitty at you and she’s going to totally steal your heart”.

Last Saturday we were at PetSmart buying cat food. The PetSmart near our house works together with Halo Animal Rescue, a no-kill shelter, and they always have a few cats in the store. We passed the cats and this little grey kitty looked at me briefly, then curled up again. She looked so sad and lonely and scared. However, I wasn’t sure.. On Monday I had made up my mind and we went to pick her up.

When they brought her into the “meeting room”, she was absolutely terrified. She was literally jumping on the walls and meowing, and then hid in a corner, shaking. I cried, a lot. They told us she had been adopted once before, but somebody had tried to pull her out from her hiding spot and the kitty bit them (understandably). They got angry and brought her back the next day(?!). Hearing this made me even sadder.. Poor thing is only 10-months-old and she’s already had it so rough. So we did the paperwork and brought her home.

She has her own room, the guest room, where other cats are not allowed. The first day she would only hide and not let us near. We spent some time in the room with her, just hanging around, letting her adjust at her own pace. The next day she let me pet her and even purred! She came out of her corner a bit. She would take a few steps out and then go back to the corner.. Take a few steps further, then go back to the corner.. etc.

Now she stays out of the corner more, lets my husband pet her too and even plays a little. Even though she is still very cautious, her progress in just a few days has been amazing. When you pet her, she’ll flop on her side and twist and turn and purr very loudly. She is such a sweetheart and I am glad she found me! All she needs is a little time, love and treats.
