A new pet

It’s been well over a year now since I had to put my cat down. She was really old and got sick and ended up going crazy. It was so hard for me to do. I got her as a kitten when I was only 15. Her Mother was a wild feral cat that had got stuck in the basement of the bar my Mother worked in and gave birth to kittens then abandoned them. When I got my kitty she was wild. It took months for her to even go near any of us. She lived in my closet and I had to put a cat box in there and feed her in there and everything. Eventually she warmed up though and became less frightened. And she turned out to be the most loving cat I’ve ever had. Although she would still hide if there were strangers around. And she lived her whole life upstairs afraid to go downstairs.

Ever since we had to put her down my son has been asking for a new pet. Preferably a cat though lately he’s been asking for a dog as well. I’m thinking that maybe we should adopt a pet once we move into the new house. I think he would really like that. Plus there’s so many cats and dogs out there that need homes.

Petango.com – Adopt a cat! is where I’ve been searching. This site is awesome. You can search by city state or zip. You can also search shelters in your area the same way! I really want a black cat this time. Hopefully I can get one soon. It would make my son really happy. he’s still sad about losing our old cat.
