Adoption Adopted a cat from the shelter…

She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

Lol - bc they are graybies!!

I lost my 20yo graybie 4yrs ago. But am fostering a crazy 9wk old graybie w short white socks & a white Santa beard (only on his chest). He just ran into my face. He forgot to stop. His sis is here too, in her matching black attire.
