On my endless hunt for a kitten for my friend Levar, a little tabby and white 6 week old came into the picture from the Meriden pound.
We took a road trip to the Meriden Humane Society. While I was very impressed with their kittens, I was totally pisses off when I went to open the cage to handle them. The teenager who was standing in the room with us, like an armed guard with her arms crossed, said, "Oh, you can't open the cage and handle them until after you're application is approved." Huh??? :confused: So, if I'm in the market for a kitten, I can't handle them to see their personality, traits, etc??? Across the hall we went to the Meriden Animal Control (the pound). Levar fell in love!! All I had to do was sign the papers, plunk down $50, get the spay/neuter voucher and away we went, kitten (named Gunnar for his spunk) in tow. I've been kitty sitting for the weekend while Levar was in NYC.
Gunnar is THE cutest thing! I've been going into visit him in my bathroom. I didn't want to expose him to my cats since he doesn't have any of his shots yet (going to the vet on July 7th). I've been calling him "Shana Punim" which is Yiddish for sweet face.
He's going back to his house this afternoon. :(
