After several tears and several trips to various humane shelters we finally got our kitty. Who knew adopting a shelter cat would be so challenging.
We went to the Terre Haute shelter to look at the kittens. We left with a cat in mind, but we decided we would get the things we needed and come back for a kitten the following day. The next morning we stopped at the store and bought all of the necessary cat supplies before heading back to the shelter to adopt. Evangeline was beyond excited. When we got to the shelter we were told that all the kittens had gotten a cold so they weren't going to let any of them go home for 7-10 days. Evangeline was crushed. The Marshall shelter was closed so we couldn't look there, so we decided to find out if the little orange kitty that she had originally seen on Pet Finder was still available in Clinton, IN. He was. She had to wait another day to get him because they were closing. It was a hard day to wait because her heart was set on getting her cat that day, but well worth it. The orange cat was just what she was looking for.
Pickles is so frisky and playful. He is like a little puppy. He follows Evangeline everywhere. She is so attentive to him too. She's a good little pet owner. She was even scooping the litter box right out of the gate without being asked! I'm very proud of her. She just adores Pickles. He is one lucky cat.
Evangeline had all kinds of welcome signs out for Pickles. She had made a few different cats of different colors so she could be ready to throw the right one up depending on what the cat she picked out looked like. I'm sure he felt very loved and welcomed the very moment he stepped foot into our home.
Evangeline made sure to tell me that her dreams came true the day we brought Pickles home.
