I don't know where to begin with this post, so I will start with how I met Lisa. Back in June I went to Petsupermarket to buy Gracie's dog food and as I walked in the door there was three kittens in the cat condo up for adoption from Shelby County where Lisa/Catcrazylady works. Two of the kittens were gray and white and the other almost all gray with a little white. I of course had to pick them up and hold them because I have wanted a gray and white cat forever and also a solid gray cat( I already even had a name picked out for a boy OR a girl solid gray). This cutie little boy is who my eye caught first because as I said I had wanted one just like this one .

I held him for awhile and loved on him. Then I picked up his sister, the other bi color kitten

Then I picked up the all gray little girl and the second I picked her up the second I knew I had to have her. She immediately started nursing and kneading on my face and wouldn't stop. Lord knows I didn't need another one nor was I looking for another one since I had a special needs one on the way from NC who was in a high kill shelter. I asked about the adoption process and took an application. The next day I was visiting her again and handed in the application. It was a few days before I actually heard that she was mine and I visited her everyday and everyday she wouldn't stop nursing on my mole on my face.

Actually the adoption is a great deal because with your adoption fee the kitten came spay, microchipped, utd on vaccinations and I also got all vacciantions free if I took her to their clinic day in Shelby County plus if she got sick, that was free too.
I named her Grayble

I felt bad for leaving her brother and sister at the store but the ended up getting adopted together so that was great!!!!
But back to the reason I am posting in the first place.... meeting Lisa. Grayble had a slight URI when she came home so the day she was due her first shots she got meds instead for her cold. That is the first day I met Lisa. She was working at the shelter. I told her that everyone missed her. She said she misses everyone too but she is soooo busy at the shelter that she doesn't have time to get online much but wishes she did. The second time I took Grayble was to get her shots since she was well. They had rearranged some and I saw three big rooms filled with cats looking for a home. Of course one caught my eye (a gray and white boy) and I had to go pet him and the rest of the gang. I didn't expect what I got when I went into the room of about 30 or so cats. The second I went in the door I was literally covered with cats, climbing all over me, all wanting my attention. It was so sad that all these friendly beautiful cats were so scarved for any second of attention they could get and were constantly overlooked because they were adults. All they want is for their very own person to love them. I swear if I didn't already have over my limit I would have taken a car load home with me. I felt so sorry for them. I decided next time I would come and take some pics of them. So today I had to bring Grayble back and I took pics. As I said they are all beautiful friendly cats with great personalities that are jsut dying for some attention. I walked in the room today and was immediately covered in cats again. It was hard to take pics because they were on top of me at my feet, in my face etc. But I managed to get some good ones, except for the gray and white boy that I would take in a second. meet some of the Shelby County Cats. Lisa knows all their names etc. She is really great and works long hours taking care of these babies. katie is going to send me some of her toys that her cats don't use anymore and I am going to take them to these cats.
